噪音。正如我在電話裡所講述的那樣，我們一直以來都把我們的排練安排在林肯禮堂，時間3 點，這個安排一直都還好。

除了唱歌呢？

第 14 段
1.You know, originally we were booked in one of the rehearsal rooms in the music building, but then we switched with

the jazz ensemble.
恐怕您也知道，我們本來在那兒登記了一間排演室，不過後來和爵士班換了一下。
2.They're a much smaller group and they said the acoustics, the sound in that room, was better for them.
他們組員少得多，那兒的音效對他們更適合。

所以，他們把我們換到更大的林肯禮堂也很有道理。

不管怎樣，現在音樂樓那邊都已經訂滿了，早上、下午都沒有空位。我們只想找個安靜的地方，嗯，那兒還得有鋼琴。

你剛才提到晚上不合適，如果我找不到3點左右的排練室，別的行嗎？你們能把排練時間調到早一些的，或是晚一些的嗎？
第 24 段
1.I wish I could say another time would be okay, but you know how it is, everybody's already got commitments for the whole semester, 2:30 or 3:30 would probably be okay, but I don't think we could go much outside that.
我也希望別的時間能夠滿足我們的要求，但你也知道事情有多麻煩，每個人都把整學期的事情安排好了。兩點半或者三點半大概可以，這個範圍外的時間我想我們不能接受。
