听力原文及翻译

A: Thank you for taking the time to meet with me today. I really wanted to speak with you about Owens behavior in class and his grades.

A：感谢您今天抽出时间与我见面。我真的很想和您谈谈欧文在课堂上的行为和他的成绩。

B: Thank you for reaching out to schedule this meeting, I've been meaning to contact you as well. I was definitely not pleased when I saw Owen's last report card.

B：感谢您联系我安排这次会面，我也一直想联系您。当我看到欧文的上一份成绩单时，我很不满意。

A: Yes, I think he's capable of doing so much better in my class.

A：是的，我认为他在我的班上可以做得更好。

B: I agree. Does he pay attention when he is in class?

B：我同意。他上课时会专心听讲吗？

A: Well, actually, this is one of the biggest reasons I wanted to speak with you. Owens classroom behavior has really been a problem, he doesn't pay attention when I'm teaching, and he often tries to distract his classmates. I try to separate him from his friends, but then he just yells across the room at them. I ask him to stop yelling and this

usually gets him to calm down for a few minutes, he becomes a little more focused and less talkative.

A：嗯，实际上，这是我想和您谈谈的最大原因之一。欧文在课堂上的行为确实是一个问题，我上课时他不专心听讲，而且他经常试图分散同学的注意力。我试图把他和他的朋友分开，但他只是冲着教室另一边的同学大喊大叫。我让他停止大喊大叫，这通常会让他冷静几分钟，他会变得更加专注，话也更少了。

B: That's good, I guess, but I wish he would just behave in the first place.

B：我觉得这很好，但我希望他一开始就表现好。

A: Yes, I agree. I was thinking he might respond well to a reward, like 15 extra minutes of recess on Fridays for the entire class for good behavior. I think he might be motivated by this, what do you think?

A：是的，我同意。我在想他可能会对奖励做出很好的反应，比如周五全班因为表现好而额外休息15分钟。我想他可能会因此受到激励，你觉得呢？

B: I think that is a great idea, he loves recess.

B：我认为这是个好主意，他喜欢休息。

A: Perfect. But we need another plan to help his grades.

A：完美。但我们需要另一个计划来提高他的成绩。

B: Yes, he needs to pass this class if he wants to play on the basketball team.

B：是的，如果他想加入篮球队，他需要通过这门课。

A: Well, that should help motivate him. Also I offer extra help to students who fall behind in the morning before school, I think Owen would really benefit if he came in for help.

A：嗯，这应该有助于激励他。此外，我为上学前早上落后的学生提供额外帮助，我认为如果欧文来寻求帮助，他会受益匪浅。

B: That would be amazing! Thank you so much, I think that would really help him.

B：那太棒了！非常感谢，我认为这真的会对他有帮助。

A: Can you get him to school early on Mondays and Thursdays at 8:15?

A：你能让他在周一和周四早上 8:15 早点上学吗？

B: That's not a problem at all, I'll just drop them off on my way to work!

B：那完全没问题，我上班路上就把他们送过来！

A: Perfect. I think he can really improve if he just puts in a little more effort and focuses more in class.

A：太好了。我认为只要他再努力一点，在课堂上更专注一点，他的成绩就能提高很多。

B: Agreed, I'll talk to him about the new plan tonight. He might not be excited about getting to school early, but if he wants to be able to play basketball, he has to get his grades up.

B：同意，我今晚会和他谈谈新计划。他可能对早点到校不感兴趣，但如果他想打篮球，就必须提高成绩。

A: That's true.

A：没错。

B: Well, I appreciate everything you're doing to help Owen improve.

B：嗯，我很感激你为帮助欧文进步所做的一切。

A: It's my pleasure, I want him to succeed and I know he can do better.

A：这是我的荣幸，我希望他能成功，我知道他可以做得更好。

B: Me too, thank you!
