A:Hi,um…I really hope you can help me .
A:嗯…我真的希望你能帮我个忙。
B:That’s why I’m here.What can I do for you?
B:这是我应该做的。我能帮你什么忙呢？
A:I’m supposed to do a marketing planning for my marketing course ,but I don’t even know where to start looking.
A:我想写一篇关于市场营销课程的营销策划书，但是我在找资料的时候遇到了困，甚至我不知道应该从哪里找起。
B:You said this is for your marketing course,right?So you must have a focus first.Well, if you have a focus,that wil be a good start.
B:你说这是在为市场营销课程做准备是吧？所以，你必须先有一个重点。行，如果你有一个重点，这会是一个好的开始。
A:Aha,that’s one thing I did know to do . I still need three more on my topic from three different books or webs.
A:嗯这是我知道自己该做的唯一一件事。我刚刚复印了一篇文章，但我还需要从三本不同的书或者网站找出三篇关于我主题的文章。
B:Let’s get you going on looking for those then.We have printed versions of twenty or so marketing journals in the Reference Section.These are the ones published within the last year.
B:那就让我们一起找这三篇文章呗。在“参考书库区”，我们已经印刷过二十种版本的市场营销学期刊。这些都是在去年一年内发行的。
A:Ohyeah,the article I just copied is from that journal,so I’ve got to look at other sources.
A:哦是的，我刚才复印的一篇文章就来自那本期刊，所以我得看看其他资料来源。
B:Ok,actually,most of our materials are available electronically now.You can access marketing databases or electronic journals and articals through the library’s computers,
B:好的，其实，我们的大部分材料都是在网络上可用的。你可通过图书馆的电脑，接触到市场数据库或相关电子期刊额文章
A:Cool,that’s great!Too bad I can not do this from home.
A:酷，太棒了！在家不能这样做太不方便了。
B:But you can.All of the library’s databases and electronic sources can be accessed through any computer connected to the university network.
B：不你可以。连接学校网络的任何一台电脑，都可以用来登入图书馆和电子资源库。
A:Really,I can’t believe I don’t know that.It still sounds like it’s going to take a while to go through all of that information,all of those sources.
A:真的啊，我居然不知道这回事。看来得花点时间来搜索所有的信息和数据。
B:Maybe, but you can already narrow your search down to articles on Marketing Planning , so it should’t be too bad.
B:也许吧，你已经把范围缩小到关于营销策划的文章，随意应该不会花太长时间的。
A:Right,abstracts! I guess I should try out the electronic search while I’m still here then, you know, just in case.
A：对，摘要！浏览摘要肯定比原书更加方便。我想我应该在离开图书馆之前，尝试下电子搜索，为了以防万一我不会弄。
B:Sure,that computer is free over there, and I’ll be there till 5:00 this afternoon.
B:好，那边那台电脑没人用，还有我今天下午5点之前都会在这里。
A:Thank you very much.
A：太感谢了，对于营销策划书我感觉明朗了很多。
B:You are welcome, I’m so happy it can help you.
B:不用客气，很高兴能帮到你。
