听力原文及翻译

A: Hi, Dan, can I talk to you for a minute?

A：嗨，丹，我能和你聊一会吗？

B: Hi, Mr.Sampson. Sure, I've been meaning to talk to you too.

B：嗨，桑普森老师。当然，我也想和你聊聊。

A: I've been covering a lot of ground in class lately, and I know you've missed some classes. I don't want you to stay behind Dan, I want to help you catch up.

A：最近我在课堂上教了很多内容，我也知道你缺了一些课。我不想让你进度落后，丹，我想帮你赶上进度。

B: Thanks, Mr.Samson. But the truth is that I've never been very good at history, when I took the first test in your class, my mind went blank.

B：谢谢你，桑普森老师。但我的历史一直不太好，当我参加你的第一次随测时我的脑子里一片空白。

A: That's okay Dan. Sometimes you need to go back to basics, once you develop some tricks for memorizing people, places, and dates, history is as easy as a-b-c.

A：没关系，丹。有时你只需要掌握基础，一旦你掌握了一些记住人物、地点和日期的技巧，历史就变得非常简单了。

B: I would like to learn those tricks sometime, but I don't have time this semester. I am planning to read up on some history over Christmas break so that I can try again next semester.

B：我很想找个时间学习这些技巧，但这学期我没有时间。我打算在圣诞节假期读一些历史书，这样我下学期就可以再试一次。
