Listen to a conversation between two students.
请听下面两位学生的对话。
Man: How's it going, Marie? Weren't you away this past weekend?
男：怎么样，Marie？你上个周末是不是出去了？
Woman: Yeah, I flew out to see my family in Boston for the weekend, just got back from the airport actually.
女：对，上周末我坐飞机回波士顿看我的家人去了，实际上我刚刚才从机场回来。
What a mess! My flight was delayed several hours cause of the bad weather.
太糟糕了！受坏天气的影响，我的航班延误了好几个小时。
Man: Oh, yeah, there was that big storm out East, huh?
男：哦，对，东部那边有场大风暴是吧？
Woman: Right, so I was at the airport like all night waiting for my flight to leave.
女：没错，我在机场几乎待了整夜，一直在等航班起飞。
I was supposed to arrive back to campus last night, but, instead, I got in early this morning.
我原本应该昨晚就能回到学校的，结果今天早上才到。
Man: You must be exhausted.
男：你一定很累吧。
Woman: I am. I hardly got any sleep, just a short nap on the plane.
女：是啊 。我昨天基本上没睡，只有在飞机上的时候眯了一会儿。
And I am supposed to, I can't believe it, I am supposed to give a presentation in my history class today, an hour from now.
而且...简直难以置信...我今天还要在历史课上做演讲，现在只剩一个小时了。
Man: What kind of presentation?
男：什么样的演讲？
Woman: It's a ten-minute presentation on a paper I wrote.
女：一个十分钟的演讲，关于我写的一篇论文。
And then there's an answer, a question-and-answer session afterward,
之后还有一个问答环节，
where the professor and other students ask me questions about my history paper and stuff.
教授和其他同学会问我一些关于我的历史论文之类的问题。
Man: Well, I bet if you told your professor what happened, how the flight was delayed and you didn't get any sleep,
男：嗯...我想如果你把发生了的事情告诉教授，像航班延误啊，
I bet your professor would let you do the presentation on a different day.
你没时间休息啊，我猜她应该会让你下次再做演讲的吧。
Woman: Yeah, she'd probably let me reschedule.
女：嗯，她可能会同意让我改时间。
I just don't know if I want to put it off.
只是我不确定是否想要推迟演讲。
I've got a lot of other stuff coming up, big assignments.
我还有很多其他的事情要做，很多作业。
Man: Oh!
男：哦！
Woman: I could just give the presentation today, I mean, I did prepare for it a lot last week.
女：今天我要么干脆把演讲做了，毕竟上个星期我做了很多准备。
So, I don't know, maybe I should just grab a cup of coffee or something and go through with it.
所以...我也不知道，也许我该直接买杯咖啡什么的，然后一鼓作气完成它。
Man: Well, if you feel OK with that.
男：好吧，如果你觉得这样没问题的话。
Woman: Well, I'm definitely tired.
女：嗯...我确实很累。
I wouldn't be as quick or sharp as I normally am but I've got an hour to go over my notes and the coffee should help wake me up.
可能没办法像平时一样头脑清醒敏捷，不过我还有一个小时的时间可以浏览笔记，而且喝完咖啡我就清醒了。
