麦克:
Look at the nine-storey building over there. That`s the school library.



看那边那座9层的楼,那是学校图书馆.
比尔:
Oh, what a big library it is! I love books the most. Books to me are what air is to life.



哦,图书馆真大!我最喜欢书了.书对我来说就像空气对生命一样重要.
麦克:
Yes, you`re right. I`m sure you will enjoy yourself with more fresh air there, because there is a wealth of information in the library.



是的,你说得对.我敢肯定你在里面会如鱼得水的,因为图书馆里有许多有用的信息.
比尔:
I`m sure, I will. Is the library open all the day?



肯定了.图书馆是一整天都开吗?
麦克:
No, it isn`t. The lending section opens from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, but reading rooms will stay open until 11:00 pm even on weekends.



不,不是的.借阅区每天上午9点到下午4点开门,但是阅览室会一直开到晚上11点,周末照常开.
比尔:
That`s wonderful! But first of all, I hope to apply for a library card. I have to get it as soon as possible.



太好了!但是首先,我得去办一个图书证,我想尽快去图书馆.
麦克:
Don`t worry about it. Your department will make all necessary arrangements for you within a week.



不要着急.你们院会在一周之内给你们办好所有的手续的.
比尔:
A whole week? I want to borrow books right now!



一整个星期?我现在就想去借书.
