以下文字源自Stanford大學東亞研究系(或東亞研究中心)2014年9月15日的電子報。是一則關於東亞圖書館遷館後全新對外開放的簡短介紹。私以為很適合拿來做更進階的英語口說導覽練習。

The following passages are quoted from the CEAS Weekly Digest (September 15, 2014).  The CEAS Weekly Digest is an email newsletter highlighting the events of East Asian Studies at Stanford University. For more information, please refer to Center for East Asian Studies: https://ceas.stanford.edu/

The East Asia Library of Stanford University will reopen to the public at its new location in Lathrop Library on Monday, September 15, 2014.

In addition to three floors of stacks, the new East Asia Library possesses several conference, seminar, and group study rooms, numerous sofas, chairs, and desks under sunny windows, large exhibit spaces, state-of-the-art technology including dual-boot MAC/Windows computers and a latest-generation microfilm reader, and a newly established special collection.

This beautiful facility will provide a new level of service to the faculty and students in East Asian studies both on Stanford campus and beyond. We look forward to welcoming you in our new library soon.



這段關於東亞圖書館的簡短介紹也挺適合拿來做口說練習。尤其是館藏數字,中文我們說「有六十八萬本藏書」,以萬為單位,英文卻是說six hundred and eighty thousands,以千為單位。

*The following passage is from the Stanford East Asia Library: http://library.stanford.edu/libraries/eal/about

The East Asia Library, Stanford’s primary Asian studies collection, holds over 680,000 volumes in the social sciences and humanities for all historical periods in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. With access to more than 800,000 volumes of online books and journals, EAL collections also consist of special collections, government documents, media, and periodicals.

註:
*680,000=six hundred and eighty thousands
*800,000=eight hundred thousands
