今天的這段對話，在討論牛津大學中國中心，
為什么選擇牛津大學的現(xiàn)代漢語研究？牛津大學中國中心都舉辦了哪些重大的研究項目
來聽今天的講解:
A: Karen, what’s your plan after graduation? Will you study further or find a job?
凱倫，你畢業(yè)后有什么打算？是繼續(xù)深造，還是找工作呢？
B: Well, I've decided to hunt for a job to support myself first What about you?
哦，我決定先找份工作養(yǎng)活自己。你呢？
A: I’m considering getting a MSc Degree in Modern Chinese Studies at the University of Oxford. The MSc is offered by the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, which is one of the thirteen constituent parts of the Social Sciences Division, Oxford University.
我正在考慮攻讀牛津大學現(xiàn)代漢語研究的理科碩士學位。這個理科碩士是由跨學科區(qū)域研究學院提供的，這個學院是牛津大學社會科學學部13個組成部門中的一個。
B: Why do you choose this major in the University of Oxford?
你為什么要選擇牛津大學的這個專業(yè)呢？
A: I choose this major because I like Chinese culture very much, so I want to know more about his country,
我選擇這個專業(yè)是因為我非常喜歡中國文化，因此我想更多地了解這個了不起的國家。
B: Hum, China and Chinese culture have always attracted a considerable amount of interest. With its rapid economic growth in recent years, China has now become a. major player in the 21st century.
嗯，中國和中國文化一直以來都吸引著很多人。近年來，隨著經濟的快速發(fā)展，中國如今已經成為了21世紀的一個主力軍。
A: Right! The reason why I decide to go to Oxford University is that the University is the most active Chinese research centre in Europe, even across the world.
對！我選擇牛津大學的原因是，牛津大學是歐洲，甚至是全球最活躍的漢學研究中心。
B: Do you mean the Oxford’s Institute for Chinese Studies?
你指的是牛津大學漢語研究所嗎？
A: No! What I referred to is the University of Oxford China Centre, which was founded in 2008. Though newly established, the centre has brought together academics from across the whole university to ensure full interdisciplinary interaction, and support a wide range of research projects.
不是的！我指的是2008年才成立的牛津大學中國中心。雖然是新成立的，中國中心已經聚集了來自整個大學的學者們，以保證跨學科的全面互動，并支持各種研究項目。
B: From across the whole university?
來自整個大學？
A: Yeah! Academics of the centre are from across four different divisions, including Humanities; Social Sciences; Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences; Medical Sciences. As you know, there are merely four divisions at Oxford.
是的！這個中心的學者來自四個不同的學部，包括：人文學部社會科學學部、數學、物理和生命科學學部、醫(yī)學學部。你知道的，牛津大學只有四個學部。
B: Oh, you mentioned “research projects” just now. What significant research programmes did the China Centre hold?
哦,你剛才提到了“研究項目”。這個中國中心都舉辦了哪些重大的研究項目呢？
A: Er... the most influential two projects are the Contemporary China Studies Programme and the British Inter-university China Centre. Especially the Contemporary China Studies Programme, which has already been a focal point of a concerted effort in the University. Moreover, many academics from other Chinese research centres also take part in the programme.
哦 最有影響力的兩個項目是當代中國研究項目和英國大學校際中國中心。尤其是當代中國研究項目，它已經成為了牛津大學學者們通力合作的一個焦點。而且，很多來自其他漢學研究中心的學者們也參與到了這個項目之中。
B: Wow! That’s incredible! The Programme is able to attract so many academics from a variety of fields.
哇！真讓難以置信！這個項目居然能夠吸引這么多來自各個領域的專家學者。
A: It's not surprising. After all, the University of Oxford China Centre is a world leading Chinese research centre.
不必驚訝。要知道，牛津大學中國中心 可是世界頂極的中國研究中心。
B:Well, the centre should have a lot of strengths, right?
那這個中心應該有很多優(yōu)勢吧？
A: Yeah! Currently, its main strengths of research on China include a comprehensive coverage of Chinese history, art history and literature; a multi-disciplinary approach to politics in contemporary China, including Political Science, International Relations, Anthropology, Economics and Sociology; cutting-edge research on the consequences of economic and social reform in contemporary China,
當然！當前，它在中國研究方面的主要強項包括對中國歷史、藝術史和文學的全面覆蓋;使用多學科的方法來研究當代中國的政治，包括政治科學、國際關系學、人類學、經濟學和社會學以及在當代中國經濟和社會改革影響方面的前沿研究。
B: It really does a wide range of reserch，no wonder the China Centre can be the world-class Chinese research centre!
研究范圍這么廣泛，難怪中國中心可以成為世界一流的漢學中心！
A:Right, that’s correct!
對，是這樣！
B: Well, By the way, what’s the course arrangement of the MSc in Modem Chinese Studies you want to choose?
嗯。順便問一句，你要選擇的現(xiàn)代漢語研究的理科碩士課程安排是怎樣的？
A:It is a three-term, nine-month course. It is designed so to ensure the graduate students obtain high quality research training, with an emphasis on grasping research methods.
課程分為3個學期，為期9個月。之所以這樣安排課程是為了確保研究生得到高質量的科研訓練，課程重點是掌握研究方法。
B: Not bad! You only need to spend one year to get the Degree.
不錯！你只需要一年的時間就可以拿到學位。
A: Right! However, I’m still in application.
是的！但是，我現(xiàn)在還在申請。
B: Then good luck!
那就祝你好運吧！
A: Thanks!
謝謝！
