【正文】 aven39。t been any deposits.學生:已經期末的好幾周了，我的支票應該直接轉到我銀行賬戶里，但還查不到任何存款記錄。Secretary:That39。s odd.秘書:那就怪了。Student:Yea, I thought graduate teaching a system for automatically put on the payroll at the beginning of the semester.學生:是啊，我以為研究生教學助理在開學的時候就已經在工資名單上了呢。Secretary:They are. Let39。s see did you plete all the forms for the payroll?秘書:就是這樣的啊。我們看看...工資名單的材料你都填了嗎？Student:I filled in whatever they sent me, and I returned like the end of August.學生:我把他們寄來的材料都填了。而且我差不多八月底就寄回去了。Secretary:Hum, well, you definitely should have been paid by now.秘書:嗯，照理說你應該領工資了。At least two pay periods have passed since then已經過去至少兩個發(fā)薪周期了。Student:I asked the bank and they didn39。t know anything.學生:我問銀行了，他們什么都不知道。Who should I talk to about this, payroll?關于這件事我應該跟誰談呢，工資名單的人？Secretary:I39。m going to contact them for you.秘書:我會替你聯(lián)系他們的。There was a problem in processing some of the graduate students39。payroll paper work.處理研究生助教文件的時候好像有點問題，Cause their puter program crashed after all the information was processed. And some people39。s information couldn39。t be retrieved.因為他們的電腦系統(tǒng)在處理完這些程序之后崩潰了，有些人的信息可能丟失了。Student:Hum. But why didn39。t any one let me know?學生:哦，可為什么沒人告訴我呢？Secretary:I don39。t know how they work over there, 39。cause they couldn39。t even figure out whose information was missing.秘書:我不知道他們那邊是何狀況。因為，他們可能連丟失的是誰的信息都不知道。And this isn39。t the first time, seems like something like this happens every semester.而且這不是第一次了，好像每學期都會出這一檔子。Student:So how do I find out if my information was lost?學生:那我怎么知道丟失的是不是我的信息？Secretary:I will contact them tomorrow morning to see if you39。re in the system. But you39。re probably not.秘書:我明天早上聯(lián)系他們，看你是否在他們的電腦系統(tǒng)里。但估計你不在。Student:What then will let me to do?學生:那接下來我應該做什么？Secretary:Sorry but you will need to fill out those forms again and then I will fax them over the payroll office.秘書:抱歉了，但你需要把那些資料重填一下。然后我會發(fā)傳真到負責工資的辦公室。Student:And then what… Well, what I really need to know is how long till I get the money, I39。m already a month behind my bills and my tuitions due soon.學生:那然后呢？我真正關心的是我多久能拿到錢？我的賬單已經拖欠一個月了，而我又快要繳學費了。Secretary:That39。ll get you into the system the same day they receive your paper works. So if you do that tomorrow, you39。ll get paid next Friday.秘書:他們會在收到你資料的同一天把你輸入進工資名單，所以如果你明天就去，下周五就能收到錢。Student:That39。s a long time from now. Will that pay checking include all the money I am owed?學生:還有很久呢。那筆工資會涵蓋他們欠我的所有工資嗎？Secretary:It should. I will double check with the payroll department.秘書:應該是，我會跟工資辦公室核實的。Student:And another thing, Is there any way I could get paid sooner, I have been teaching all these weeks…學生:還有，有任何辦法可以讓我盡快拿到錢嗎？我教了這么長時間的課…Secretary:I know that39。s not fair but I don39。t think they can do anything。 all the checks are puted automatically in the system. They can39。t just write checks.秘書:我知道這不公平，但我覺得別無他法。所有的工資支票都是電腦自動管理的。他們不能直接付給你錢。Student:But there is another one to make mistakes. They39。ve never told me!學生:但是他們出錯了，而且從來都沒告訴過我。Secretary: I understand how you feel and if I were you, I39。d be upset too.秘書:我和你感同身受，如果換作是我也會很生氣的。I39。ll tell you what: when I call them, I will explain the situation and ask them if there is any way you can be paid sooner.這樣吧，等我給他們打電話的時候，我會告訴他們你的情況，問問他們有沒有任何辦法可以讓你盡快拿到錢。But I have to tell you that base on past experiences you shouldn39。t count on it.但我必須告訴你，根據(jù)以往經驗你別抱太大希望。Student:I understand thanks. I know it39。s39。 not your fault and that you39。re doing everything you can.學生:唉，我了解了，謝謝。我知道這不是你的錯，你也在盡力幫助我。Secretary:Well, what I CAN do is make sure that your first check for total amount the university owes you.秘書:我能做的就是確保你收到的這第一筆錢涵蓋了學校欠你的每筆工資。Student:That39。ll be great! Thank you. I will be on campus about 10 tomorrow morning and I will e back to see you then.學生:那太好了，謝謝。我明天會上午十點的時候來學校，到時候我會過來找你。TPO12C21. What is the student’s problem?A.
