一、The Bookstore's Buyback Policies托福聽力原文：

NARRATOR:Listen to a conversation between a student and a bookstore employee.FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:Hi.Can I help you?MALE STUDENT:Yeah,Mm,I need to sell back a textbook...are you the person I speak to about that?FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:I am.But we can't buy textbooks back just yet because the bookstore's buyback period isn't until next Thursday.MALE STUDENT:I thought it started this week.FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:It is only in the last week of the semester after classes are over.MALE STUDENT:Oh,well,can you tell me if this book will be on the buyback list?FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:I can look,but we are still putting the list together.Professors have to tell us what books they'll definitely need again next semester,and the deadline for them to let us know isn't for a couple of days.So the list I have here is not really complete.Um...what class was the book for?MALE STUDENT:Intro to economics,with,uh,Professor Murphy.

FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:Professor Murphy?OK.I checked earlier and I know she hasn't gotten back to us on that class yet.So we don't know if she'll use the same book next time.Usually if an updated edition of a textbook is available,professors will go for that one.MALE STUDENT:Um...so if this book doesn't end up on the buyback list,what can I do?I spent over a hundred dollars for it,and I want to get something back.FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:Well,if a professor didn't assign it for a class here,we could buy back for a whole seller who would distribute it for sale at another university bookstore.MALE STUDENT:OK.FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:Anyway,if Professor Murphy does put it on the list,it is important that you come in as early as possible next Thursday.There's only a limited number of books we would buy back.Once we get the number of books we need for next semester,we would stop buying them.MALE STUDENT:OK.So how much money will I get for the book?FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:Well,if it's on the buyback list,we'll pay fifty percent of what the new price was.But that also depends on what condition the book is in,so it needs to be cleaned up as much as possible.MALE STUDENT:Cleaned up?FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:Because used books show wear and tear—you know,water stains,scruffy covers,yellow highlighting...you really need to make sure there're no pencil marks on the book. The price you can get for a text depends on the shape it's in.

MALE STUDENT:You mean I have to erase all the pencil marks?FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:If you want the best price for it?MALE STUDENT:And what if you decide the book is too beat-up and don't buy it back?FEMALE BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEE:That does happen. Hmm...Well,one more thing you can try is to place an ad in the student newspaper to see if you can sell it directly to another student.

二、The Bookstore's Buyback Policies托福聽力中文翻譯：

旁白：聽一段學(xué)生和書店員工之間的對話。書店女職員：嗨。我能幫助你嗎？男學(xué)生：是的，嗯，我需要賣回一本教科書。。。你是我要找的人嗎？書店女職員：我是。但我們還不能買回課本，因為書店的回購期要到下周四。男學(xué)生：我以為這周開始了。書店女員工：只是在學(xué)期的最后一周，下課后。男學(xué)生：哦，好吧，你能告訴我這本書是否會在回購名單上嗎？書店女員工：我可以看看，但我們還在整理名單。教授們必須告訴我們下學(xué)期他們肯定還需要什么書，他們告訴我們的最后期限不是幾天。所以我這里的列表并不完整。嗯。。。這本書是什么課的？男學(xué)生：經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)導(dǎo)論，呃，墨菲教授。

書店女職員：墨菲教授？好啊我早些時候查過了，我知道她還沒有在那節(jié)課上回復(fù)我們。所以我們不知道她下次是否會用同一本書。通常，如果有更新版的教科書，教授們會選擇更新版。男學(xué)生：嗯。。。那么，如果這本書最終沒有被列入回購名單，我該怎么辦？我花了一百多美元買了它，我想拿回一些東西。書店女員工：嗯，如果一位教授沒有把它分配給這里的一門課，我們可以把它買回來，讓一個賣家在另一家大學(xué)書店里出售。男學(xué)生：好的。書店女員工：不管怎樣，如果墨菲教授真的把它列在名單上，那么你下周四盡早來是很重要的。我們要買回的書數(shù)量有限。一旦我們得到下學(xué)期所需的書的數(shù)量，我們就會停止購買它們。男學(xué)生：好的。那么這本書我能得到多少錢呢？書店女員工：嗯，如果它在回購清單上，我們將支付新價格的百分之五十。但這也取決于這本書的狀況，因此需要盡可能多地清理。男學(xué)生：清理干凈了嗎？書店女員工：因為二手書會顯示磨損，你知道的，水漬，邋遢的封面，黃色的突出顯示。。。你真的需要確保書上沒有鉛筆印&nbsp；文本的價格取決于它的形狀。

男學(xué)生：你的意思是我必須抹掉所有的鉛筆記號？書店女員工：如果你想要最優(yōu)惠的價格？男學(xué)生：如果你覺得這本書太破舊了，不買回怎么辦？書店女員工：確實如此&nbsp；隱馬爾可夫模型。。。嗯，你可以嘗試的另一件事是在學(xué)生報紙上刊登廣告，看看你是否可以直接賣給其他學(xué)生。
