Listen to a conversation between a student and a clerk in the bookstore.
Hi. Can you tell me where to find New Kind of Science by, uh, by Stephen Wolfram?
OK.
Uh, I couldn't find it.
OK. Let me look it up on the computer for you.Who would you say the author was?
It's a Stephen Wolfram.
OK. Let's see... Hmm... no, it's not coming up.Hmm... I am not seeing it.
This is for a class at university here.
Yeah, It's assigned reading for a class I am taking.
It's for the semester, right? You are not buying it in advance for next year or anything.
No, no. It's for a class I am taking now.
Hmm... Oh, oh, you know what? Um, it's for a graduate class.Would that maybe make a difference? I mean...I am an undergrad, but I am just taking this one class in the graduate department, so...
No, no. I don't think that's it.That shouldn't make any difference.But, hmm... let me see... maybe it's just... it could be that whoever entered it misspelled the title or the author's name, so I can't find it on the computer and I can't tell if it's sold out.But if it's sold out, we would probably be getting a new shipment within about a week or so.
Ok. Well, I was hoping to get it sooner because like we already have assignments and you know, I mean, I guess I can get it from the library.
Right, of course.But I am trying to check.If we've ordered more, then that back orders information should be in the computer too. Let's see... back order... Wolfram, Stephen... no, I am not seeing it.I am sorry. We just don't seem to carry it.
Uh-huh. This is odd though. What is... what's your professor's name?I could try searching for his or her classes in the database.That might help.
Um... OK. It's professor Kayne.
K-A-N-E?
No. It's professor Kayne, K-A-Y-N-E. He's in the computer science department.
Oh. It's for a computer science course, is it?
Yeah.
Well, that must be it. Computer science books are sold across the street in the computer store.
Oh. Are there signs up anywhere?
I don't know.
Maybe they should put some up.It could have saved us both some time.
Yeah. Well, anyway, I'll bet that's the problem.Check across the street. I'll bet they have it. But if not, come back, and I'll help you find it somewhere else.I can call around to see if other bookstores might have it. OK?
OK. Thanks a lot. Bye.
Bye.

请听一段学生与店员在书店中的对话
你好，您能告诉我在哪里能找到《新兴科学》吗？是斯黛芬沃尔夫莱曼写的。
好的。
呃，我找不到这本书。
好的，我在电脑里查询一下。你刚刚说作者是谁？
斯黛芬沃尔夫莱曼
好的，我们看一下，恩，没有显示……呃，我没有看到。
你买这书是为了我们大学的课程，是吗？
是的，这是我上的一门课的指定参考书目。
是为了这个学期，是吧？你不是提前为下学期买的吧？
不，不。是为我现在上的课买的。
哦……这样。哦，哦，对了，这本书是研究生班的教材。会不会是这个原因呢？我的意思是我是本科生，我只是在研究生部上这一门课，所以……
不，我想不是。这没什么关系。但是，恩……让我看看……有可能是……大概是输入条目的人将题目或作者的名字拼错了，所以我现在在电脑上找不到，就无法告诉你这本书是不是卖光了。但是如果卖光了的话，我们会在一个星期左右收到新货的。
哦，但是我希望能早点买到，因为作业已经布置给我们了。我想我可以从图书馆借到这本书。
也是但是我正试着查询如果我们增订了的话，在电脑里应该能查到订购的信息。让我看看啊，延期交货……沃尔福莱曼，史黛芬……不，我没有查到不好意思，看来我们这里没有。
嗯……这太奇怪了。你们教授叫什么名字？我可以试着在数据库中查询一下他的课程。与可能会有所帮助。
嗯……好的。是凯恩教授。
K-A-N-E？
不对，是凯恩教授。K-A-Y-N-E。他在计算机科学系。
哦，是计算机科学的教材，是吧？
是的。
哦，原来是这样。计算机科学图书在对面的计算机书店里可以买到。
那里有什么提示吗？
我不知道。
或许他们应该做一些提示这样就能为我们节省不少时间了。
是啊，我也认为是这样。你去对面看看吧。我相信那里一定有。如果没有，你可以再回来，我们帮你从其他地方找一下。我可以打听一下其他的书店，他们说不定会有。好吗？
好的，谢谢你。再见。
再见。
