Well, I'm a first-year student.

嗯，我是大一新生。

Everything going OK?

Actually, no. Um, this is a little embarrassing⁴. I think I left my class schedule back at my dorm.

事实上不是的。有点难为情，我好像把我的课表落在寝室了。

Hmmm, not a good thing to do on the first day of classes.

嗯，对于第一天上课来说的确不是好事儿。

Yeah, so I'm not sure where my class is, I think I remember it was supposed to be here in Smith Hall.

是的，所以我不确定我的教室是哪个，我记得是在这里的史密斯楼。

There's a computer for student use in the Student Center.

这里的学生中心有供学生使用的电脑。

You can go over there, look it up and check the room number. But you'd have to hurry.

你可以去那里查看自己的教室号。但是你得赶紧了。

Hmmm, that's not a bad idea.

这个主意不错。

I could check my schedule for the whole rest of the day at the same time.

同时我也可以查看今天接下来的课程。

I don't know where any of my other classes are either,

我也不知道其它课程的教室，

but I don't want to be late, make a bad impression with the professor on the first day.

但是我不想迟到，第一天就给教授留下坏印象。

It's actually my very first class, Introduction to Psychology⁵.

事实上这是我的第一节课，心理学概论。

Psychology? Oh, OK, you're definitely⁶ in the right building.

心理学？喔，好的，你的确来对了教学楼。

And if it's Introduction to Psychology, it's gonna be a big class.

如果是心理学概论的话，那就是个大课堂。

In which case, it probably meets in a big lecture hall.

这样的话，它可能在一个大的阶梯教室。

There are only three lecture halls in the building, one on every floor.

这栋楼有三个阶梯教室，每层一个。

Just check each floor till you find yours.

每层楼去看看就能找到你的。

There's elevators so you should be able to move fast.

这里有电梯，这样你就能行动的更快。

Yeah, but I don't know what the professor looks like or anything.

是的，但是我不知道教授长什么样子或者其它。

How would I know it's my class or not?

那我怎么会知道哪间教室是我的呢？

It'd be sort of embarrassing, sticking my head into each lecture hall asking if I was in the right place.

而且这感觉有点尴尬，把脑袋钻进每间大教室去问是不是对的。

Well, you might luck out and find it the first time.

也许你能走运第一次就找对了呢。
