Listen to a part of the conversation between two students.
请听两个学生间的对话。

Woman: Hey Steve, did you get that book on the Russian Revolution Professor Harper wants us to read?
女:Steve,你找到了那本Harper教授让我们读的叫《俄国革命》的书吗?
Man: No, none of the bookstores in the campus area had it in stock. They'll get it in about two weeks.
男:没有。学校附近所有的书店里都没有现货了,得大概两个星期之后才能到货。
Woman: Hm...so what are you going to do in the meantime? Remember, we're going to be discussing the book starting next Tuesday.
女:那...这期间你打算怎么办?别忘了,我们下周二就要开始讨论这本书了。
Man: Well, I was thinking of placing a rush order with the bookseller on the internet, so I'd have the book in about a day or two.
男:嗯...我有想过要不要在网上给书商下一个急单,这样就能在一两天之内拿到书了。
Woman: Yeah, but rush order delivery is expensive. You could easily spend twice as much money for the book that way.
女:可以是可以,但是急单的运费很贵啊。那样的话你为了这本书很可能要花两倍的钱。
Man: I know, but what choice do I have?
男:我知道,可是我还有别的选择吗?
Woman: Well, since we only have to read a few chapters at a time, you're welcome to share my copy for a few weeks. You know, until you can get yours at the bookstore.
女:嗯...既然我们每次只需要读几章,那你这两周完全可以跟我共用一本书啊,直到你可以在书店买到这本书为止。
Man: You mean...you would read the chapters assigned, give the book to me, I'd read those chapters, then give the book back to you to read the next set of chapters, and so on?
男:你是说,你可以先读完指定的章节,然后把书给我,我再把那几章读完,接着又把书还给你让你继续读之后几章,就这么传来传去?
Woman: Exactly.
女:没错。
Man: Thanks! But, what if I don't get the book back to you in time? Wouldn't you get behind in your reading?
男:谢了!不过,万一我没及时把书还给你呢?你的阅读进度不就赶不上了吗?
Woman: Yeah, maybe. But it should work if we're careful.
女:嗯...可能吧。不过只要我们小心些的话,应该没问题。
