Now listen to two students discussing the letter.
现在请听两位学生讨论这封信。

Man: So, Jane, what do you think of Eric's proposal?
男:Jane,你对Eric的提议怎么看?
Woman: I'm all for it.
女:我完全赞成。
Man: So you think it's true?
男:所以你觉得真的是这样?
What he says about the problems about the way it's being done?
他说的问题和问题的解决方法都是对的?
Woman: Well, Yeah, I do. Take his first reason. Like, I know you don't drive, but I do drive here everyday, so I need a place to park my car.
女:对啊,当然啦。就拿他第一个理由来说吧,我知道你不开车,但是我确实每天都开车过来,所以我真的需要停车的地方。
And remember last year when they decided to repair some of the parking lots?
你还记得去年他们决定修整其中一些停车场吗?
Man: Oh yeah, I remember that, there was a lot of work going on, wasn't there? Starting in December.
男:记得,当时工程浩大呀,对吧?十二月份开始的。
Woman: Right, at least four lots were closed, and that meant there weren't enough parking spots for students and professor's cars.
女:没错,那会儿至少关闭了四个停车场,这就意味着教授和学生们根本没有足够的停车位。
I usually had to circle around looking for parking on one of the streets.
我通常都得在某条街上四处转悠才能找到停车的地方。
And then walk from the street all the way to my classes.
然后还得一路从街上走到上课的教室。
Man: That's annoying.
男:那很烦人啊。
Woman: Yeah, and it happened to a lot of other people in my classes too!
女:没错,而且我班上很多同学也有这种遭遇。
People were always arriving late because of all the trouble they had parking.
就因为停车问题,大家经常迟到。
Sometimes even my professors were late.
有时甚至教授们也会因此迟到。
Man: Yeah.
男:是啊。
Woman: And also, his second point? That makes sense too.
女:还有他第二个理由也说得通啊。
I mean, for instance, part of the reason those parking lot repairs last year took so long was because of the big snowstorms.
比如说,去年那些停车场之所以花了那么久都没修好,部分原因也是因为暴风雪。
They had to keep stopping, sometimes for a week or two at a time, because of snow and ice on the ground.
由于地面结冰还有积雪,修整人员总是不得不停工,有时候一停就是一两个星期。
Man: Yeah, I remember that, we had a bunch of snowstorms in a row last year.
男:对,我有印象。去年连续有好多次暴风雪。
Woman: Yeah, so with all that starting and stopping cause of the weather, the job took them a lot longer to finish.
女:是的,由于天气原因他们不得不修修停停,所以花了很长时间才完工。
