一、The Bookstore's Buyback Policies托福听力原文：

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托福听力中文翻译：

旁白：听一段学生和书店员工之间的对话。书店女职员：嗨。我能帮助你吗？男学生：是的，嗯，我需要卖回一本教科书。。。你是我要找的人吗？书店女职员：我是。但我们还不能买回课本，因为书店的回购期要到下周四。男学生：我以为这周开始了。书店女员工：只是在学期的最后一周，下课后。男学生：哦，好吧，你能告诉我这本书是否会在回购名单上吗？书店女员工：我可以看看，但我们还在整理名单。教授们必须告诉我们下学期他们肯定还需要什么书，他们告诉我们的最后期限不是几天。所以我这里的列表并不完整。嗯。。。这本书是什么课的？男学生：经济学导论，呃，墨菲教授。

书店女职员：墨菲教授？好啊我早些时候查过了，我知道她还没有在那节课上回复我们。所以我们不知道她下次是否会用同一本书。通常，如果有更新版的教科书，教授们会选择更新版。男学生：嗯。。。那么，如果这本书最终没有被列入回购名单，我该怎么办？我花了一百多美元买了它，我想拿回一些东西。书店女员工：嗯，如果一位教授没有把它分配给这里的一门课，我们可以把它买回来，让一个卖家在另一家大学书店里出售。男学生：好的。书店女员工：不管怎样，如果墨菲教授真的把它列在名单上，那么你下周四尽早来是很重要的。我们要买回的书数量有限。一旦我们得到下学期所需的书的数量，我们就会停止购买它们。男学生：好的。那么这本书我能得到多少钱呢？书店女员工：嗯，如果它在回购清单上，我们将支付新价格的百分之五十。但这也取决于这本书的状况，因此需要尽可能多地清理。男学生：清理干净了吗？书店女员工：因为二手书会显示磨损，你知道的，水渍，邋遢的封面，黄色的突出显示。。。你真的需要确保书上没有铅笔印&nbsp；文本的价格取决于它的形状。

男学生：你的意思是我必须抹掉所有的铅笔记号？书店女员工：如果你想要最优惠的价格？男学生：如果你觉得这本书太破旧了，不买回怎么办？书店女员工：确实如此&nbsp；隐马尔可夫模型。。。嗯，你可以尝试的另一件事是在学生报纸上刊登广告，看看你是否可以直接卖给其他学生。
