1. 听写包答案：

Oh good morning. You must be James. I'm Beth Cartwright - please call me Beth. Thank you.

Now as this is your first tutorial since you started on the Scandinavian Studies course, I'd like to find out something about you.
Why did you decide to take this course?
Well, my mom is Danish, and although we always lived in England,
she used to talk about her home a lot, and that made me want to visit Denmark.
We hardly ever did, though - my mother usually went on her own.
But whenever her relations or friends were in England they always came to see us.
I see. So I assume you already speak Danish, one of the languages you'll be studying.
I can get by when I talk to people, though I'm not terribly accurate.
Now you probably know that you'll spend the third year of the course abroad.
Have you had any thoughts about that?
I'm really looking forward to it.
And although Denmark seems the obvious place to go, because of my family connections, I'd love to spend the time in Iceland.
Oh, I'm sure it can be arranged.
Do you have any plans for when you graduate?
A lot of students go on to take a master's degree.
I think the four years of the undergraduate course will be enough for me.
I'm interested in journalism, and I quite like the idea of moving to Scandinavia and writing for magazines.
I'd find that more creative than translating, which I suppose most graduates do.
OK.Now how are you finding the courses you're taking this term, James?
Well. I'm really enjoying the one on Swedish cinema.
That'll continue next term, but the one on Scandinavian literature that's running at the moment will be replaced by more specialised courses.
Oh, and by the way, if you're interested in watching Danish television programmes
there's going to be a course on that the term after next.
That sounds good.
Have you started thinking about the literature paper that you have to write in the next few weeks?
Yes, my first choice would be to do something on the Icelandic sagas.
Hmm. The trouble with that is that a lot of people choose that topic, and it can be difficult to get hold of the books you'll need.
Why not leave that for another time? Right.
You might find modern novels or 19th century playwrights interesting.
I've read or seen several plays in translation, so that would be a good idea.
Fine. I'll put you down for that topic.
Right. So what would you advise me to aim at in the paper?
First I suggest you avoid taking one writer and going into a great deal of detail.
That approach certainly has its place,
but I think you first need to get an understanding of the literature in the context of the society in which it was produced
who it was written for, how it was published, and so on.
I also think that's more fruitful than placing it within the history of the genre.
OK, that sounds reasonable.
早上好，你一定是James吧，我是Beth Cartwright，你可以叫我Beth。好的，谢谢。
鉴于这是你开始学习斯堪的纳维亚研究课程的第一次指导课，我想了解一下你的情况。
你为什么决定要学习这门课程？
我的妈妈是丹麦人，虽然我们一直住在英格兰，
但她常常谈到她的家乡，那让我想去丹麦看看。
不过我们从来没一起去过，我妈妈通常是一个人去。
但无论什么时候，只要她的亲戚或是朋友在英格兰，他们总是会来看我们。
我了解了。那我想你已经会说丹麦语了吧，这是你将要学习的一门语言。
跟人们聊天还过得去，但不是特别准确。
你可能已经知道课程的第三年是在国外度过的。
关于这一点你有什么想法？
我很期待。
虽然因为家庭的关系，丹麦看起来是很明显的选择，但是我想去冰岛度过这一年。
嗯，我相信这个可以安排。
毕业后有什么计划吗？
很多学生会继续读一个硕士学位。
我想四年的本科课程对我来说已经足够了。
我对新闻业感兴趣，很想搬去斯堪的纳维亚，为杂志撰稿。
我觉得这比翻译更具创造性，我想大部分毕业生毕业后都会做翻译吧。
好的，这学期要学的课程你觉得怎么样？
我非常喜欢瑞典电影这门课。
这门课下学期还会有，但目前还在上的斯堪的纳维亚文学课程会被更加细分的课程取代。
顺便提一下，如果你对丹麦电视节目感兴趣，
下下学期会有一门相关的课。
听起来不错。
你已经开始构思接下来几个星期要写的有关斯堪的纳维亚文学的论文了吗？
是的，我的首选是写有关冰岛传奇故事的东西。
嗯，这么做的问题是很多人都选择了这个主题，而且要找到你需要的书可能会有困难。
为什么不把它留到以后再写呢？对。
你或许会发现现代小说或是19世纪的戏剧都很有趣。
我已经读过或是看到过好几部戏剧译著，所以这是个好思路。
好的，我会记下你选择了这个主题。
好的。那您建议我的论文聚焦什么呢？
首先我建议你不要选了一个作者就对其太过详述。
这种方法当然有它的道理，
但我认为你首先应该在作品产生的社会背景下对它有所了解，
它是为谁写的，怎么出版的等等。
同时，我认为这样做比把它置于该类风格作品的历史中更有成效。
嗯，感觉很有道理。

2.阅读包答案：

因为我们大部分人都相信思想和物质是分开的，我们认为可以隐藏思想，使之无足轻重；因此我们就可以想一套而做另一套。

3.写作包答案：

Fat people are convivial. They will like you even if you're irregular and have acne. They will come up with a good reason why you never wrote the great American novel. They will cry in your beer with you. They will put your name in the pot. They will let you off the hook. Fat people will gab, giggle, guffaw, gallumph, gyrate and gossip. They are generous, giving and gallant. They are gluttonous and goodly and great. What you want when you're down is soft and jiggly, not muscled and stable. Fat people know this. Fat people have plenty of room. Fat people will take you in.
