[00:01.164]Dialogue1 [00:01.684]下面是两个人在交流交男女朋友的经验, [00:05.228]这是人类共同的话题, [00:07.282]但文化价值观的差异又使我们 [00:09.410]在同样的问题的处理方法上有所不同: [00:15.511]A:Hey,there’s Leo.I⑴wonder why he’s⑵walking arm in arm with that young woman. [00:34.914]B:⑶It’s as plain as the nose on your face.They’re dating each other. [00:39.382]A:You’re⑷pulling my leg!*She must be thirty years younger than Leo.Talk about⑸robbing the cradle! [00:45.142]B:Well,*you can bet this relationship’s going to⑹be a flash in the pan. [00:50.916]A:It⑺must have been love at first sight because I know he didn’t have a girlfriend last week. [00:55.749]B:I think you are⑻absolutely right.Actually,my father proposed to my mother after knowing her only two weeks.They got married a month later. [01:05.637]Dialogue2: [01:08.83]下面的对话是A同学帮B同学想办法解决B在度假期间公寓处置的问题: [01:11.434]A:*You must be⑴pretty excited about your trip to Europe.When is it that you are leaving? [01:14.973]B:In just three weeks,and I am excited.But there are still⑵a few things I need to do before I go. [01:21.944]A:⑶Like what? [01:23.8]B:Like renewing my passport,going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and⑷figuring out what to do with my apartment while I’m gone. [01:31.441]A:⑸You are not going to give it up,are you? [01:33.676]B:⑹No way.I’ll never find another apartment around here.But⑺I don’t like the idea of paying three months’rent on an empty apartment,either. [01:40.933]A:I don’t blame you.*Perhaps you could⑻sublet it. [01:44.594]B:Yes,but whom to? [01:46.559]A:Mmm…let me think.Oh,I know just a person.An old colleague of mine,Jim Thomas,is coming here to do some research this summer,from June to August. [01:57.608]B:That’s exactly when I’ll be away.It sounds ideal,as long as the landlord agrees. [02:02.171]A:⑼Tell you what,I’ll be calling Jim late this week anyway,so I’ll mention it to him then. [02:08.45]B:Well,thanks,Bill.Let me know what happens.That extra money will really⑽come in handy. [02:12.356]Dialogue3 [02:13.287]下面是电影里的一段对白,B(Ben)无所事事地在游泳池中漂流,A对他这种颓废的表现十分不满,对话由此展开: [02:17.725]A:Ben,what are you doing? [02:19.461]B:Well,I would say that I’m just⑴drifting----here,in the pool. [02:23.100]A:Why? [02:23.730]B:Well,it’s very comfortable just to drift here. [02:26.88]A:Have you⑵thought about⑶graduate school? [02:27.884]B:No. [02:28.540]A:⑷*Would you mind telling me then—what were those four years of college for?What was the point of all that hard work? [02:34.880]B:⑸You got me. [02:37.672]A:Now⑹listen,Ben.Look,I think it’s a very good thing that a young man—*after he’s done some very good work—should have a chance to relax and enjoy himself,and lie around,and drink beer and so on.But after a few weeks I believe that person would want to take some stock in himself and his situation and start to think about⑺getting off his ass. [02:55.835]Part Two [02:56.949]Everyday Expression [02:59.539]Small Talk1: [03:04.108]Sam:Hi,how is it going? [03:08.232]Ted:Pretty good,Sam.Only the awful weather,you know. [03:10.786]Sam:That’s right.I’ve never really liked it since I got here. [03:14.898]Ted:Me either,but I’m dealing with it anyway. [03:17.247]Small Talk2: [03:18.313]A:I’m glad to have had the opportunity to meet you here. [03:25.805]B:I trust you’re keeping well? [03:28.909]A:I’m doing great,thank you. [03:30.543]B:So we can get down to business. [03:32.497]Small Talk3: [03:36.272]A:Ah,Bob.Just the person I wanted to see. [03:39.368]B:So what is it? [03:40.704]A:You gotta help me out this time,buddy. [03:43.182]B:Another tough thing,I guess. [03:44.819]Small Talk4: [03:46.808]A:Hi,it is a pleasant surprise! [03:50.620]B:Yeah,it’s been ages!So how have you been? [03:53.930]A:Couldn’t be better.And you? [03:55.625]B:Just as usual,you know. [04:00.400]Small Talk5: [04:02.836]A:Susan?What brings you here today? [04:04.701]B:Well,I’ve got some papers due. [04:07.587]A:Really?So what’s the news? [04:09.189]B:Not too good yet.Better than I was though.
