    看逐字稿

    A: Welcome to The Clay Studio membership helpline. Aisha speaking. How can I help you today? B: Hi Aisha, I'm Lukas Geiger, and I'd like to sign up for a studio membership. That's L-U-K-A-S and Geiger is spelled G-E-I-G-E-R. A: Thanks, Lukas. I can register you now. What's a good contact number for you? B: My mobile is 07700 900 541. Oh, sorry, that's my old number. It's actually 07700 900 514. A: Okay, got it: 07700 900 514. Now, we have three tiers: Taster, Hobbyist, and Studio. Which level would you like? B: I was thinking of Hobbyist, which includes guided sessions, but since I have experience, I'll go for the Studio level. It has unlimited independent access. A: Great choice! Usually, memberships start on Thursdays, but because of our Friday orientation, your access will begin on Friday. B: That's fine. Can I pay the joining fee by credit card now? A: Our card machine is down today, so please pay in cash when you arrive. For the Friday orientation, the 6 PM slot is full, so you'll need to join the 10:00 AM session. B: 10:00 AM is fine. What should I bring with me? A: You must wear closed-toe shoes like trainers—no sandals. And please bring an ID, like a driving license. B: Will do. Is there any parking nearby? A: There is limited one-hour street parking, but it's best to use the multi-storey park behind the supermarket, which is only a five-minute walk. B: Good to know. What does the membership fee cover? A: It covers basic clay. Firing is free for up to ten pieces a month, then it's two pounds per item. Members also get 20% off weekend workshops and can sell pieces in our winter exhibition. B: Excellent! I'm looking forward to it. See you Friday! [Q1] Surname: ________

    Hello everyone, and welcome to the Oakwood Makerspace induction. I'm Ingrid, and I'll be showing you around today so you can start making the most of your membership. As you stand here in the doorway, looking straight ahead, you'll see a large alcove on your left, which is our Hand Tool Wall, where you can find saws, hammers, and screwdrivers. If you look straight across the room, past the wooden workbenches in the middle, there's a long workbench running along the back wall that houses our Materials Recycling Bin—not 3D printers as some believe—where you drop off spare wood and plastic for others to reuse. Over in the far-right corner, there is a small enclosed room with glass walls that we've converted into the Digital Design Suite, which houses our high-end computers. Looking towards the back of the space on the right side, there's a kitchen area, and just beyond that, next to the rear exit door, is a narrow closet which serves as our Safety Gear Cupboard. If you turn around and look at the corner to your immediate right as you first walk through the entrance doors—no, sorry, not the small table where the visitor sign-in book is—but the actual room built into that front right corner, that is the Member Locker Room. Moving on, before you can check out any of our power drills, you must complete the short online safety quiz on our portal, so there's no need to pay any deposit or show a physical card. Our Saturday woodcraft workshops have become incredibly popular because we feature guest instructors from local design firms, though keep in mind that one-on-one coaching isn't possible due to group sizes. Regarding tidying up, please remember that you must sweep your own work area before you head out, as we don't employ cleaning staff to do this. If there's a tool you need that we don't have, you should log into your account and submit a tool request form on our official website instead of writing it on our physical noticeboard. Finally, you are welcome to bring your own materials, such as untreated timber or standard sewing patterns, but personal hand drills and chemical paints are strictly prohibited. [Q11] Position 1 — The large alcove immediately to the left of the main entrance

    大家好,歡迎來到橡木創客空間(Oakwood Makerspace)的新人導覽。我是 Ingrid,今天將由我帶大家參觀,以便各位能開始充分利用您的會員資格。當您站在門口向正前方看時,會看到左手邊有一個大凹室,那就是我們的「手動工具牆」(Hand Tool Wall),您可以在那裡找到鋸子、鐵錘和螺絲起子。如果您穿過房間正中間,越過中間的木製工作台向正前方看,會看到沿著後牆有一張長工作台,那裡是我們的「材料回收桶」(Materials Recycling Bin)——不像有些人以為的是 3D 列印機——您可以在這裡留下多餘的木材和塑料供其他人重複使用。在最右側的角落,有一個用玻璃牆隔成的小密閉房間,我們已將其改造成「數位設計工作室」(Digital Design Suite),裡面配備了我們的高階電腦。朝著空間右側的後方看,有一個廚房區,再過去一點,就在後出口門旁邊,有一個狹窄的壁櫥,這是我們的「安全裝備櫃」(Safety Gear Cupboard)。如果您轉過身,看看剛走進大門時右手邊的角落——不,抱歉,不是放有訪客簽到簿的小桌子——而是建在右前角的那間房間,那是「會員置物櫃室」(Member Locker Room)。接下來,在您借用任何電鑽之前,必須在我們的門戶網站上完成簡短的線上安全測驗,因此不需要支付任何押金或出示實體會員卡。我們週六的木工工作坊非常受歡迎,因為我們邀請了當地設計公司的客座講師,但請記住,由於團體人數較多,無法進行一對一指導。關於整理收拾,請記住,您在離開前必須自己清掃工作區域,因為我們沒有雇用清潔人員來做這件事。如果您需要某種我們沒有的工具,您應該登入帳戶並在我們的官方網站上提交工具申請表,而不是寫在實體的佈告欄上。最後,歡迎您自備材料,例如未經處理的木材或標準縫紉版型,但嚴禁攜帶個人手持電鑽和化學油漆。

    Ingrid: Hi Aisha, Tomas. Come on in. I've had a look at your preliminary fieldwork proposal for the urban garden study, and you've made a great start. But we need to lock down some details before you head out. How are you getting on with dividing up the tasks? Aisha: Hi Dr. Ingrid. Yes, we've been working on that. We want to make sure it's a fair split, but also play to our strengths. For example, regarding the design of the initial soil-sampling grid... Tomas, you were going to handle that, right? Tomas: Well, I did offer, but when I actually opened the mapping software, I realized it's pretty complicated. Aisha, you did a lot of GIS mapping in your introductory module last term, didn't you? Aisha: I did, yes. Honestly, it's probably quicker if I just take full charge of creating the sampling grid myself, rather than trying to explain it. You can focus on other parts of the setup, Tomas. Tomas: That would be a lifesaver, thanks! I'll make sure to help out more with the physical work. Ingrid: That seems sensible. Now, speaking of physical work, what about transporting the actual soil samples back here to the campus? Thirty bags of wet soil can be quite heavy. Tomas: Right. We did think about dividing that up and carrying them on the bus together. But then Aisha reminded me she's still recovering from that wrist injury. Since I have a car on campus anyway, it makes the most sense if I take sole responsibility for moving the samples. I can load them straight into my boot. Aisha: That's incredibly kind of you, Tomas. It definitely saves me a lot of pain! Ingrid: Excellent, that's sorted. Now, once the samples are in the department, you'll need to run them through the chemical analysis machinery to measure the nitrogen levels. How are you planning to manage that? Aisha: Well, we both wanted to get some hands-on experience operating the spectrophotometer. But when we emailed the department manager, she said that undergraduates aren't permitted to operate that specific machinery due to health and safety regulations. So, the lab technicians will have to run the tests for us, though we still have to prepare the chemical solutions ourselves beforehand. Ingrid: Yes, that's standard practice. Safety first, but you'll still get a feel for the lab environment. Tomas: Definitely. Now, for the stats write-up, we initially planned to write separate sections for our papers. Ingrid: Actually, I've updated the guidelines because of the huge dataset. You must write the statistical analysis collaboratively, though your conclusions remain individual. Aisha: Understood, collaborative stats it is. And since we don't have time for ethical clearance to interview garden users directly, could we use your transcripts from last year? Ingrid: Yes, I'll provide those interview records for you, so you won't need to do any primary interviews. That should keep you on track. Tomas: Thanks! By the way, Aisha, did you look over the historical reports for the Eastside garden? I was shocked by the toxic metal levels, even though the crops are standard. Aisha: I did! I expected acidity to vary wildly, but it was remarkably uniform. But yes, those heavy metals were terrifying. What about the Westside garden? I know it's a long drive... Tomas: Actually, the distance isn't the problem. The council confirmed a major housing redevelopment starts there next month, so it's being cleared. I thought they just had weekend hour limits, but we must exclude it completely. Ingrid: Wise choice. Now, about your sampling timeline: you planned to collect everything in late November, but that's when they lay winter mulch, spiking nutrient levels. You should collect samples earlier in the month to get a true baseline. And for your presentation, please use visual slides instead of dense text, and skip interactive polls to save time. Tomas: We'll adjust the dates and stick to visual slides. Finally, for lab fees, we missed the green-initiative grant deadline, but we're applying for the Alumni Association fund and the national geography society stipend. The council award is only for community groups. Ingrid: Those funding choices are perfect. Send me your drafts and I'll review them. Good luck! [Q21] Designing the initial soil-sampling grid.

    英格麗:嗨,艾莎、托馬斯。進來吧。我看了你們針對城市花園研究提出的初步實地考察企劃書,你們起步得很棒。但在你們出發之前,我們需要確認一些細節。你們任務分工進展得如何? 艾莎:英格麗博士,您好。是的,我們一直在討論這件事。我們想確保分工公平,同時也能發揮各自的專長。例如,關於設計初始土壤採樣網格的部分……托馬斯,你本來要負責這個,對吧? 托馬斯:嗯,我之前確實自薦過,但當我實際打開地圖繪製軟體時,我發現它相當複雜。艾莎,你上學期在入門課程中做了很多 GIS 地圖繪製,對吧? 艾莎:是的,沒錯。老實說,與其花時間解釋,不如由我直接全權負責建立採樣網格,這樣可能還比較快。托馬斯,你可以專注在準備工作的其他部分。 托馬斯:那真是救了我一命,謝啦!我會在體力活上多幫忙。 英格麗:這看起來很合理。現在,說到體力活,那把實際的土壤樣本運回校園這件事呢?30袋濕漉漉的土壤可能會相當重。 托馬斯:對。我們確實考慮過分攤重量,然後一起搭公車運送。但後來艾莎提醒我,她的手腕傷勢還在恢復中。既然我本來就在校園裡有開車,那麼由我獨自負責運送樣本是最合理的。我可以把樣本直接裝進我的後車廂。 艾莎:托馬斯,你人真的太好了。這絕對讓我免去了不少痛苦! 英格麗:太棒了,這件事解決了。那麼,樣本送到系上之後,你們需要用化學分析儀器檢測,以測量氮含量。你們打算如何處理? 艾莎:嗯,我們本來都想獲得操作分光光度計的實作經驗。但當我們寫信給系主管時,她說因為健康與安全法規,大學部學生不允許操作該特定儀器。因此,實驗室技術人員必須幫我們進行測試,不過我們事前還是得自己準備化學溶液。 英格麗:是的,這是常規做法。安全第一,但你們仍然能體驗一下實驗室的環境。 托馬斯:沒錯。至於統計數據的撰寫,我們最初計劃在各自的論文中撰寫不同的部分。 英格麗:實際上,因為數據集非常龐大,我已經更新了指南。你們必須共同撰寫統計分析,不過你們的結論仍然要各自獨立撰寫。 艾莎:明白了,那就合作完成統計。另外,因為我們沒有時間取得直接訪談花園使用者的倫理審查批准,我們可以使用您去年的訪談逐字稿嗎? 英格麗:可以,我會把那些訪談紀錄提供給你們,這樣你們就不需要進行任何初級訪談了。這應該能讓你們的進度保持在軌道上。 托馬斯:謝謝!對了,艾莎,你看了東區花園的歷史報告了嗎?儘管農作物很普通,但我對那裡的毒性金屬含量感到震驚。 艾莎:我看了!我原本以為酸鹼度會有很大的差異,沒想到卻異常一致。但沒錯,那些重金屬真的很可怕。那西區花園呢?我知道開車過去要花很久的時間…… 托馬斯:其實距離不是問題。市議會證實下個月那裡將開始一項重大的住宅重建計畫,所以該處正在進行清理。我原本以為他們只是週末有時間限制,但我們必須完全將其排除在研究範圍之外。 英格麗:明智的選擇。現在,關於你們的採樣時程表:你們原計劃在11月下旬收集所有樣本,但那時他們會鋪上冬季護土,導致營養成分飆升。你們應該在該月上旬收集樣本,以獲得真正的基準值。至於你們的簡報,請使用視覺化投影片而非密密麻麻的文字,並跳過互動式投票以節省時間。 托馬斯:我們會調整日期,並堅持使用視覺化投影片。最後,關於實驗室費用,我們錯過了綠色倡議補助金的截止日期,但我們正在申請校友會基金和國家地理學會的獎助金。市議會的獎項僅針對社區團體。 英格麗:這些資金選擇非常完美。把你們的草稿寄給我,我會進行審閱。祝好運!

    Good afternoon, everyone; today, we're examining a fascinating study in workplace psychology led by my colleague, Priscilla, alongside Tomas, which investigated how wearable haptic devices can assist office workers in managing daily stress. Now, the research team originally planned to recruit 500 participants, but due to budget constraints, they signed up 450, and ultimately analyzed data from exactly 380... wait, actually, my notes say 350 individuals completed the full six-week trial. To begin, while the team anticipated that workers would express anxiety about digital distractions in their pre-study survey, the majority actually highlighted physical discomfort, such as neck pain, as their primary workplace concern. The device tested was a wristband that emitted subtle vibrations, and when a user's stress markers rose, it didn't buzz loudly or flash a light; instead, it subtly lowered its vibration rate, which naturally prompted users to slow down their breathing. Interestingly, the control group, who wore inactive dummy bands, also showed a tiny drop in stress markers—a classic placebo effect—but this was negligible compared to the active group. Looking at the long-term results, the primary benefit wasn't an immediate spike in focus, as some tech blogs claimed, but rather a sustained reduction in cortisol levels during afternoon slumps. Priscilla suggests that future iterations of these wearables must evolve, arguing they should integrate environmental sensors—to measure office noise, for instance—rather than relying solely on the wearer's biometric data. Now, running this study wasn't without its hurdles, and the researchers faced two main challenges: first, calibrating the specific vibration intensity for each participant proved incredibly time-consuming, and second, they struggled with participants failing to recharge the devices overnight. Let's look at how participants interacted with the different operational modes of the device. First, we have 'Continuous mode', which provides a steady, gentle hum; this was highly praised because it was best for creative tasks that require uninterrupted concentration. Next, 'Interval mode' delivers pulses at set periods, but participants found this caused minor distraction during physical movement. Then there's 'Reactive mode', which triggers only when stress spikes, and this was overwhelmingly preferred by workers with unpredictable schedules. Finally, 'Manual mode' allows users to trigger a pulse themselves, which the researchers strongly recommended for absolute beginners to haptic tech. [Q31] How many participants actually completed the full six-week trial?

    大家下午好。今天我們要探討一項由我的同事 Priscilla 與 Tomas 共同主導、非常有趣的職場心理學研究。該研究調查了穿戴式觸覺裝置如何幫助辦公室員工管理日常壓力。研究團隊原本計劃招募 500 名參與者,但由於預算限制,他們最後招募了 450 人,並在最終分析了剛好 380 人的數據⋯⋯等等,實際上我的筆記寫著,有 350 人完成了完整的六週實驗。首先,雖然團隊在研究前的調查中,預期員工會對數位分心感到焦慮,但大多數人實際上強調了身體不適(例如脖子酸痛)才是他們在職場上最關心的問題。測試的裝置是一款會發出細微震動的手環,當使用者的壓力指標上升時,它不會大聲發出嗡嗡聲或閃爍光芒,而是會微妙地降低震動頻率,這能自然地引導使用者放慢呼吸。有趣的是,配戴無功能假手環的對照組,其壓力指標也出現了微幅下降——這是經典的安慰劑效應——但與實驗組相比,這點下降微不足道。從長期結果來看,最主要的好處並不是像某些科技部落格宣稱的那樣能立即提升專注力,而是在下午精神不濟的時段中,皮質醇水平能持續降低。Priscilla 建議,這些穿戴式裝置的未來版本必須有所演進,她認為應該整合環境感測器(例如測量辦公室噪音),而不是僅僅依賴配戴者的生物辨識數據。不過,進行這項研究並非沒有遇到障礙,研究人員面臨了兩大主要挑戰:第一,為每位參與者校正特定的震動強度非常耗時;第二,參與者常常忘記在夜間為裝置充電。接下來,我們來看看參與者如何與裝置的不同運作模式進行互動。首先是「連續模式」,它提供穩定且溫和的嗡嗡聲;這項模式獲得了高度評價,因為它最適合需要不被打擾、專注進行的創意工作。接著是「間隔模式」,它會在設定的時間段發送脈衝震動,但參與者發現這在身體活動時會造成輕微的分心。再來是「反應模式」,只有在壓力飆升時才會觸發,這深受工作行程難以預測的員工喜愛。最後是「手動模式」,允許使用者自己觸發脈衝,研究人員強烈推薦觸覺技術的初學者使用此模式。
