You can audit a class, but you would sit in on a meeting.

attend the meeting as observers
to sit in on the meeting

旁听，是不是类似于“列席”？参见：

旁听与列席

还是有点不同的（在中文语境下）。

例如一般学生会说“我去旁听一下...”。大人物们说“我是来旁听的...”往往被认为带有玩笑性

而要说xx列席了xx会议，很难理解为仅仅是旁听。英文里恐怕没有完全对等的俩词。

翻译真不容易啊。不知现在搞翻译的工资几何啊？晒工资？

The space station orbits the earth every 90 minutes at an altitude of 360 kilometres and travels at a speed of 8 kilometres a second.

And the flight path is different for each orbit.

So the chances of shooting the Great Wall area are "maybe once every few days and only during daylight every three months." Since late March, Chiao has had just one opportunity to fly over the Great Wall, but the weather was dodgy.

He has one last chance before he is scheduled to land in Kazakhstan on April 25 - and he will be keeping a sharp lookout.




what does the red sentence mean?
question: One can get a chance to see the Great Wall from space station_______.

A. every few days
B. only once every three months
C. only when it is in daylight
D. only when the weather is dangerous.

the suggested answer is C. I don't know why? would somebody give me some help? thanks!

Hi:

到别的班级去听课,也可以说"sit in in xxx class" (不知道这属不属于是旁听)

:-)

Reply #7 vaokkk's post - probably should start your own thread

OK that's one messed up sentence.
Anyway, there are three conditions listed in that sentence. The opportunity occurs every three months, it occurs in daylight only and when it occurs it occurs once every few days.  All three must be true for the Wall to be seen.

So A is out because it's true only every third month.

B is out because it happens more than once every 3rd month (so if December is a 3rd month it will happen once every few days... maybe twice a week for that month).

C is true because whether or not you have the month right or the day right it is still only going to happen during daylight.

D is just wrong.

You don't say!

What occurs every three months?

But the correct answer is obvious:  no matter how often you fly over it, you can't see the Great Wall from space unless it is in daylight.

Actually I've heard that you can't see it at all.... but that's besides the point.

jimmy--audit DOES NOT mean to listen but rather than verify & examine important documents (don't mix up with the prefix); especially finacial statements & usually accounting firms do the auditing
