前　言

随着我国经济的持续高速发展，对外贸易、科技、文化等方面的交流日益频繁。如何用英语简明、快捷、准确地进行交流与沟通，困扰着那些长期没有机会开口或怯于开口，而一时又不可能马上花大量时间去学习英语口语的人们。身边的例时常提醒我们，能说英语对交流、找工作、升职和加薪有多重要。如何才能有效地利用不多的时间和精力尽快掌握英语口语呢？我们向大家推出了“周计划：拿下英语口语”丛书。

“周计划：拿下英语口语”是一套实用的英语口语书。本丛书的编写旨在帮助读者在日常生活的各种场合进行英语会话实践，从而提高读者的英语表达能力。在编写过程中，我们力求用语生动、准确规范并浅显易懂。本丛书包括：

《周计划：拿下英语口语——商务英语》

《周计划：拿下英语口语——外贸英语》

《周计划：拿下英语口语——旅游英语》

《周计划：拿下英语口语——社交英语》

《周计划：拿下英语口语——文秘英语》

《周计划：拿下英语口语——销售英语》

《周计划：拿下英语口语——休闲英语》

《周计划：拿下英语口语——白领英语》

《周计划：拿下英语口语——情景英语》

《周计划：拿下英语口语——酒店与餐饮业英语》

《周计划：拿下英语口语——应急英语会话宝典》

语言是交流的工具，语言学习的最好方法是“以练为本”。大家都知道“说”很重要，用跟自己生活没有关系的材料练习口语，根本不算“使用语言”。要使用语言，说话的人必须有沟通和表达的欲望；所说的内容也必须是“不吐不快”。本丛书对话取材于日常生活，以使大家的学习达到事半功倍的效果，这也是本书创作的初衷。

“周计划：拿下英语口语”是市面上第一套以周为时间单位帮助广大英语学习者练习口语的辅导丛书。“凡事预则立，不预则废”，没有一个完整的学习计划，没有时间上的限制，没有一个能有效执行的学习进度控制，许多英语学习者最后都会因为各种理由而搁浅。本丛书从时间上、学习周期上为学习者制订了一个完整的计划，可以让广大读者循序渐进，强化训练，逐步提高。

本册《旅游英语》共分为九个部分。第一周Getting Ready for Starting出发准备篇。第二周Vehicles交通出行篇。第三周Chatting during the Tour旅途闲聊篇。第四周Staying in a Hotel旅馆住宿篇。第五周Food and Beverage餐饮篇。第六周Sightseeing旅游参观篇。第七周Activities活动篇。第八周Shopping购物篇。第九周Getting Rid of Troubles排除困难篇。同时在每一篇里，每一单元都附有常用生词及短语的注释，便于读者阅读。

本书的主要目的是为了帮助读者提高英语能力，尤其是英语口语的使用和理解能力。书中所涉及的每个对话，都力求做到信息丰富、原汁原味，本丛书所有的配套录音文件可在浙江大学出版社网站上免费下载（网址：www.zjupress.com），从而能够更好地激发读者的兴趣。

编者真诚地希望这套“周计划：拿下英语口语”丛书能够辅佐广大读者说一口流利、地道的英语。由于编者的水平有限，书中错误缺点在所难免，敬请广大学者与读者批评指正。

B：I am. I know that many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents but I'm rather lucky because I get along very well with mine. What about you?

A：I'm very fond of my family, but I don't always get along very well with them. They try to control me too much.

B：Maybe it's just because of a lack of communication.

A：你有没有觉得人们给现在的年轻人太多自由了，结果导致他们对父母和其他长辈不那么尊重了？

B：我不这样认为。我父母从不过多地干涉我自己的计划。他们给我提建议，但从不强迫我去做我不想做的事情。我因此更尊重他们了。

A：你现在独立生活了吗？

B：是的，自从我毕业开始学护理。但我和他们待在一起的时间还是很多的。

A：看起来你和你家人的关系非常亲密。

B：是的。我知道现在许多年轻人说自己和父母没有共同话题，但我很幸运因为我和父母相处得很好。你呢？

A：我很热爱自己的家庭，但有时候和他们处不来。他们处处想控制我。

B：可能是因为缺乏沟通吧。

Dialogue Two　对话二

A：Have your parents retired?

B：Yes, they have. But they both have found other jobs and are still working.

A：Are they worrying about the money?

B：Money is part of the reason. They also want to keep physically and mentally active.

A：My parents are always worried about their low income after retirement which will increase our burden.

B：Well, my parents keep in good health after retirement.

A：I hold the traditional ideas that we must take care of our parents.

B：I agree with you.

A：Will the security and welfares for the aged be improved in the near future?

B：I hope so.

A：I don't consider supporting seniors as only the government's duty.

B：Yes, we need to save for the rainy days, and make financial planning for ourselves.

A：你的父母退休了吗？

B：是的，已经退休了。但是他们又找了别的工作，现在还在上班呢。

A：他们是不是担心钱的问题？

B：钱只是一部分原因。他们还想利用工作锻炼身体，活跃思维。

A：我爸妈总担心退休后自己月收入少了会给我们儿女增加负担。

B：呃，我的父母退休后身体一直都保持得很好。

A：我的观念非常传统，觉得父母一定要由子女来赡养。

B：我的想法和你一样。

A：未来老年人的福利和保障会不会再提高一些呢？

B：希望如此。

A：我觉得养老不仅仅是政府的责任。

B：是的，我们也应该未雨绸缪，做好自己的财务规划。

Dialogue Three　对话三

A：My husband and I are only-children.

B：That'll be tough for you to take care of four parents when they are old.

A：Yes, I'm worrying about it.

B：You need a lot of extra time and energy then.

A：News says three out of ten Chinese will be seniors by the year 2050. I believe most of the burden has to be shouldered by their only-children.

B：That's true. But it just reminds me that it may be a nice business opportunity in the future to set up more care centers for elderly people.

A：Our neighborhood is in lack of a fully-equipped senior care center.

B：Recreation centers for seniors can help the elderly people get rid of loneliness after retirement.

A：We should make earlier investments for our old age in the future.

B：I have heard that the pension will be increased along with the average salary level.

A：我和丈夫都是独生子女。

B：双方父母老的时候，你们要照顾四个老人，一定很不容易。

A：是啊，我也为此感到忧虑呢。

B：到时候，你需要许多额外的时间和精力。

A：新闻说，到2050年为止，三成的中国人口都将是老年人。我想照顾他们的负担大部分会落在这些独生子女们的肩膀上。

B：说的没错。但是这也提醒了我，建立更多的养老中心也许在未来会是不错的赚钱机会。

A：我家附近缺少一个设施齐全的养老院。

B：有了老年人活动中心，可以帮助那些老年人摆脱退休之后的孤独寂寞。

A：我们也应该早点儿为以后上了岁数的日子进行投资。

B：我听说养老金发放金额会随着社会平均工资水平的提高而提高。

Dialogue Four　对话四

A：Ellen, how have things been?

B：Oh, much the same. My husband and I still seem to have rows all the time.

A：What do you quarrel about?

B：Oh, everything. For example, when he gets home, he expects me to run around and get his tea. He never does anything athome.

A：Really?

B：Yes! And yesterday, he even invited four of his friends to come round for a drink and didn't tell me before hand.

A：I see.

B：He's so untidy, and even worse than the kids. He always throws his clothes on the floor. After all, I'm not his servant. You see, that's the trouble.

A：Maybe you two should have a serious talk about that.

A：艾伦，近来好吗？

B：噢，跟以前差不多。我和我丈夫似乎一直在吵个不停。

A：你们吵什么？

B：哦，什么都要吵。比如他一到家，就要我跑来跑去地为他倒茶。他在家里什么都不做。

A：真的吗？

B：是的！还有昨天，他甚至都没有提前跟我说一声就请了四个朋友来喝酒。

A：我理解。

B：他那么不爱干净，甚至连小孩都不如。他总是把衣服扔在地板上。毕竟我不是他的仆人，你看，问题就在这里。

A：或许你们两个人应该认真地谈一谈了。

Dialogue Five　对话五

A：How many people are there in your family?

B：Four: my parents, my older brother and I.

A：What type of family do you like?

B：I like a small family, composed of parents and one child. In America, people call it a nuclear family.

A：Do you get on well with your family?

B：Yes, quite well.

A：How do you often spend weekends with your family?

B：We often go out or shopping.

A：Do your parents care about you?

B：Of course. They often talk to me like we are friends.

A：Do your parents like children?

B：Yes, they like my brother's two children very much.

A：Do they live together with your brother?

B：No, they have their own house.

A：你家有几口人？

B：四口：父母、哥哥和我。

A：你喜欢什么类型的家庭？

B：我喜欢由双亲及一个孩子组成的小家庭。在美国，人们称之为核心家庭。

A：你与家人相处得好吗？

B：是的，很和睦。

A：你通常是怎样与家人度周末的？

B：我们常去郊游或购物。

A：你父母关心你吗？

B：当然。他们经常像朋友一样和我聊天。

Dialogue One　对话一

A：Have you heard that Lucy got divorced last week?

B：Really? But why? They just got married a half a year ago.

A：She just said it's because of personality clashes. You know they met each other on a matchmaking gathering and went into this quickie marriage then.

B：Maybe they only know it was good for marriage but lack the basic understanding of the responsibilities and obligations of marriage.

A：Yeah. In most young people's minds, real love is all about passion. Marriage is dead oncethe passion is gone.

A：露西上星期离婚了。你听说了吗？

B：真的？但是为什么呀？他们刚结婚半年。

A：她只是说性格不合。你知道他们是在一个相亲聚会上认识的，然后就草草结婚了。

B：可能他们只知道在一起很好，而缺乏对婚姻责任和义务的基本了解。

A：是呀。很多年轻人以为真爱就是激情，一旦激情过去了，婚姻也就结束了。

Dialogue Two　对话二

A：Have you noticed that couples often tend to resemble each other? Can you explain?

B：Yes. I think the sharing of experiences might affect how couples look.

A：Um, what else?

B：Eh, there is also a connection between appearance and personality.

A：Personality?

B：It might seem odd at first, but there could be biological reasons for the link. We like people who look like us, because they tend to have personalities similar to our own.

A：So the longer couples have been together, the greater they perceive similarities in personalities, right?

B：Sure. Partners who are genetically similar to each other tend to have happier marriages. Similarities in personalities and physical features might be one way to gauge genetic similarity.

A：Wow, that's really interesting!

A：你有没有注意到夫妻经常会越长越像？能解释一下这个现象吗？

B：好。我认为相同的生活经历可能是影响夫妻长相变化的原因。

A：嗯，还有呢？

B：呃，外貌和性格之间也有联系。

A：性格？

B：开始听起来或许会奇怪，但其中可能有生物学上的原因。我们喜欢跟自己长得像的人，因为他们可能有和我们自己类似的性格。

A：所以一对夫妻生活时间越长，性格就越相似，对吗？

B：是这样。那些从基因上来讲比较相像的夫妇往往会拥有更快乐的婚姻生活。性格和身体特征上的相似点或许是测量基因上类似之处的一种方法。

A：哇，这真是太有趣了！

Dialogue Three　对话三

A：Hi, what's wrong with your leg?

B：Just minor scrapes, nothing serious.

A：Let me tell you something interesting about your scrapes.

B：What is it?

A：Well, a happy marriage is a good medicine for healing.

B：Oh? What do you mean by that?

A：You see, couples in conflict-ridden marriages take longer than the happily married to heal from all kinds of wounds.

B：Wow, this is really a fresh finding.

A：Yes. Besides, hostile spouses may be harmful to health.

B：I know marriage has an impact on health, but what you said is really new to me. Naturally, I'll be recovered sooner, uh?

A：Definitely!

A：嗨，你的腿怎么了？

B：只是轻微的擦伤，不严重。

A：告诉你一些有趣的事吧，关于你的擦伤。

B：是什么？

A：呃，幸福的婚姻是治疗创伤的一剂良药。

B：噢？为什么这样说呢？

A：你看，如果婚姻生活充斥着吵闹，那么伤口的愈合速度要比婚姻幸福的人慢一些。

B：哇，这真是一个新发现。

A：是的。此外，针锋相对的夫妻关系则可能会对彼此的健康产生不利影响。

B：我知道婚姻状况对健康有影响，但你所说的我确实不知道。看来我会恢复得更快更好，对吗？

A：那是一定的！

Dialogue Four　对话四

A：Honey, what do you think love is?

A：No, I mean real love. Love more beautiful than a spring morning. Love better than a cool drink on a hot day. Real love.

B：Then you say you are head over heels in love.

A：Honey, I...

B：Yes? ...

A：I'm head over heels in love with my car.

B：Ah!

A：不，我是说真爱。比爱春天的早晨、夏天的冷饮更甚的爱。真爱。

B：What? Why do my parents need to pay for it?

A：Don't you know? In America it is the girl's parents that pay for the wedding.

Dialogue Five　对话五

A：You are from Los Angeles, aren't you?

B：Yes. It is in California, and it has a pleasant climate.

A：Is the climate there similar to that of Xi'an?

B：Not quite. Usually we don't have so many windy and dusty days. The winter is mild and the summer is never intolerably hot. But sometimes we have to suffer from mist and drizzle. What is the best season in Xi'an?

A：I think autumn is the best season here. It's clear and mild. There is hardly any wind but a slight breeze. And it's always shiny.

B：What is the weather like in spring?

A：In early spring it is still a little cold.

B：How about winter, then?

A：I'm afraid it's much colder than in Los Angeles because Xi'an is in the north of China. Sometimes the temperature gets as low as ten degrees below zero centigrade.

B：Does it often snow in winter?

A：Oh, yes. It sometimes even freezes. I hate the cold weather.

B：But I like it. Don't you want to see the vast earth blanketed with white snow?

A：Well, from this point of view, it's somewhat lovely in winter. I hope you will come to Xi'an to see snowy scenes in winter next time.

B：那春天的天气呢？

A：早春时节，天气仍然会有点儿冷。

B：那冬天呢？

A：恐怕比洛杉矶要冷得多，因为西安地处中国华北地区。有时气温会低到零下10摄氏度。

B：冬天常下雪吗？

A：哦，是的。有时甚至结冰。我讨厌寒冷的天气。

Dialogue One　对话一

A：Is the air pollution serious in your place?

B：It used to be, but the government has been working hard to improve it recently. So now, we can see the blue sky in Beijing again.

A：Many efforts have been made for a better environment, such as the "No Car Day".

B：Sure. We all have to be aware of energy saving and environmental protection.

A：What can you do to protect the environment?

B：First, I'll try my best to protect it. Second, I'll ask the people around me to also do it.

A：It is easier said than done. I am curious to see how far you can go.

B：OK. We'll bet on it.

A：你那里的空气污染严重吗？

B：曾经很严重，不过政府近些年做了很多努力来改善空气质量。所以现在，我们又能看见北京蓝色的天空了。

A：大家都在为改善环境做着努力，比如说“无车日”。

B：是呀。我们必须注意节约能源和保护环境。

A：你打算怎样保护环境？

B：首先，我会尽自己的努力。然后，我会告诉周围的人也保护环境。

A：说来容易做来难。我倒是好奇你能进展到什么程度。

B：好啊。那我们打赌吧。

Dialogue Two　对话二

A：The air in Beijing is seriously polluted. Look! I can even see the floating dirt overhead.

B：Yes, air pollution in China is extremely serious, especially in cities with heavy industry.

A：Isn't there any protecting measures adopted by the government for the sake of people's health?

B：There are many, but some depurating devices are not so effective. Some effective devices are so expensive that manufacturers can't afford them.

A：That's it. Then why not consider reducing some heavy industries?

B：It's pretty hard! China is a developing country and needs heavy industries to increase its GDP.

A：How about transferring some plants to suburbs?

B：Good idea!

A：There is a low population density in suburbs, and the harm to people is also slight.

B：However, it brings great inconvenience.

A：Like what?

B：For example, transportation. Many people live in the city, but they have to commute to work every day. Then they will spend too much time on the road.

A：Oh, that's really a problem.

B：Every coin has two sides.

A：北京空气污染很严重。瞧！我甚至能看到头顶上漂浮着的尘土。

B：是的，中国的空气污染相当严重，尤其是一些重工业城市。

A：为了人民的健康，难道政府没有采取一些保护措施吗？

B：采取过很多措施，但很多净化设施效果不明显。有效的设备又特别昂贵，很多厂家都支付不起。

A：确实。那么为什么不减少一些重工业？

B：这很难。中国是发展中国家，特别需要重工业来增加国民生产总值。

A：把一些工厂迁到郊区怎么样？

B：是个好主意！

A：郊区人口密度小，因而给人们带来的影响也小。

B：但是，将工厂迁到郊区会带来很多不便。

A：比如说？

B：比如交通问题。很多人是住在城里的，但是他们又不得不每天去郊区上班。这样他们会花很多时间在路上。

A：哦，这确实是一个问题。

B：事物总有其两面性的。

Dialogue Three　对话三

A：Where did you go last weekend?

B：To the lake.

A：Did you have fun?

B：Not at all. The water smells so bad. I miss my childhood very much.

A：Why?

B：Because I could catch fish in the river, but now they are all gone.

A：Yes, I hate the polluted water, too.

B：For myself, I hate the people who pollute the water much more than the water.

A：But what are the causes of water pollution? Do you know?

B：Many causes of pollution including sewage and fertilizers contain nutrients.

A：Yes, water pollution affects animals, humans, plants and ecosystems.

B：So we cannot ignore this problem, otherwise it will be difficult for us to live in the future.

A：Certainly. Everyone has the responsibility of protecting the water.

A：你上周末去哪里了？

B：湖边。

A：玩得好吗？

B：一点也不好。水臭臭的。我好怀念我的童年。

A：为什么？

B：因为以前我可以在河里抓鱼，可是现在什么都没有了。

A：是啊，我也痛恨那些被污染的水。

B：对我而言，我更痛恨污染水的那些人。

A：但是什么造成的水污染呢？你知道吗？

A：That's a good idea.

A：我喜欢这个城市。

B：我也是。

A：这儿空气清新，放眼望去满眼都是绿色。

B：是啊。这也是我为什么来这儿度假的原因之一。

A：好的环境能使人心情舒畅，还有益身心健康。

B：就是。看那个小公园。在里面散步肯定特别舒服。

B：或许你可以在家里种点植物来美化你自己的环境。

A：Wow, great! I went there two years ago. It's one of the most interesting places I've ever seen.

B：I was told that those tombs are actually used to keep the kings corpse.

A：You're right. They are not only used to keep them safe after their death, but also to hold their treasures. As a matter of fact, the huge stone pyramids were built over those tombs.

B：有多少个金字塔？

A：据说埃及有80多个。

B：那些金字塔都在什么地方？

A：But I'm going to stay here only for two days.

B：I'm afraid two days isn't enough for you to see all the places of interest.

A：What shall I do then?

B：If I were you, the pyramid would be my first choice. It's so magnificent.

A：It's really worth seeing. By the way, I'd like to buy some souvenirs.

B：You needn't worry about it. There are many stores at the scenic spots. I'm sure you can get what you want.

Dialogue Five　对话五

A：Have you ever been to a Beijing opera before?

B：Not yet. But I know many Chinese are interested in it, aren't they?

A：Yeah, many people are Beijing opera fans, both young and old.

B：I've no idea about the Beijing opera. Could you tell me something about it?

A：Beijing opera is an integrated performing art on Chinese stage. It originated in the Qing Dynasty. In the late 1700s, two bands of performers from Anhui and Hubei Provinces merged and a new kind of opera came into being. That is Beijing opera.

B：You mean Beijing opera did not originate in Beijing, did it?

A：No, but it got its recognition and development in Beijing.

B：Oh, I see.

A：Beijing opera is a unique performing art that integrates singing, dialogue, acting and acrobatics. The characters of Beijing opera are divided into four groups. They are Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou.

B：What do they stand for?

A：Sheng is the male role. Dan is the female role. Jing is the painted face and Chou is the clown. You can easily tell them by their costume and make-up. The colors and patterns on their "painted" face have some symbolic meanings.

B：Like what?

A：For example, when red is the main color of the face, it suggests loyalty, blue suggests cruelty, yellow suggests cunning, and white suggests treachery.

B：It sounds interesting.

A：Another interesting thing about Beijing opera is that there were no female performers in the past and all the roles were played by men. But now things have changed. We have both men and women performers.

B：What theme does Beijing opera have?

A：They mainly come from historical events, fictional tales, folk stories and classical literature. And many modern ones deal with the present reality.

B：Beijing opera seems to be a colorful and diverse art.

A：It is. So you'd better squeeze an evening in to see a Beijing opera.

A：您以前看过京剧吗？

B：没有。但我知道许多中国人对京剧都很感兴趣，是吗？

A：是的。许多人都是京剧迷，年轻人和老年人都有。

B：我对京剧一无所知。您能给我讲讲么？

A：京剧是一门综合性的表演艺术，它起源于清代。18世纪末，来自安徽和湖北的两个戏班子合并，形成了一个新的剧种，这就是京剧。

B：您是说京剧并不起源于北京，是吗？

A：是的，但它是在北京获得认可和发展的。

B：哦，明白了。

A：京剧是一门独特的表演艺术，集唱、念、做、打为一体。角色分为四类：生、旦、净、丑。

B：它们是什么意思？

A：“生”是男角，“旦”是女角，“净”是花脸，即武角，“丑”是丑角。您从他们的服装和脸谱就能很容易地分辨出来。“花脸”上的图案和颜色有一定的象征意义。

B：比如说？

A：比如说，当红色是主色时，象征着忠诚；蓝色象征残暴；黄色象征狡猾；白色象征奸诈。

B：听起来真有趣！

A：京剧还有一点有趣的是，过去的京剧演员没有女性，所有角色都是由男性扮演的。但现在有所改变了，我们既有男演员，也有女演员。

B：京剧有哪些题材？

A：京剧主要取材于历史事件、历代传说、民间故事以及古典文学。也有许多现代京剧取材于现实生活。

B：京剧是一门内容丰富的艺术。

A：是很丰富。所以您最好能抽出个晚上去看场京剧。

A：No problem. Nowadays, you should be learning some new disco dances. Disco music has the best beat for dancing.

A：Yeah, it is.

A：不知道，但我想他们会找到最好的一对的。

B：嗯，我们期待看到这部电影。

Dialogue Three　对话三

A：How did you like the picture?

B：The editing and plot are both good. I was tickled to death with the dialogue.

A：I want to go to the movies, but nothing interesting is being shown right now.

B：Why don't you go to an MTV place?

A：I don't know what an MTV place is. I have never heard about it.

B：It is a place where you can watch a movie on videotape. It's quite comfortable and they generally have a wide variety of movies to choose from.

A：Is it expensive?

B：The first time you go there you have to pay a membership fee. After that it's quite reasonable, and each time you go they'll give you a free drink.

A：That sounds all right, but I don't even know where to find an MTV place.

B：All right, we'll go together. I have a membership at a pretty nice one.

A：你认为这部电影怎么样？

B：编剧和情节都很好。电影里的对白让我笑破了肚皮。

A：我想去看电影，可是现在上映的片子都没什么意思。

B：你为何不到MTV（影视中心）看看？

A：我不知道什么是MTV。我从未听说过。

B：那是一个可以让你看录像带影片的地方。那地方十分舒适，通常备有各种各样的影片可供选择。

A：费用高不高？

B：第一次要付会员费。往后收费很合理，而且每次去，他们免费给你一杯饮料。

A：听起来真不错。不过我还是不知道什么地方有影视中心。

B：那好，我们一起去。我是一家办得很好的影视中心的会员。

B：Can you tell me where the James Bond film is being shown?

A：Sure, at the New York Cinema.

B：Do you know when it starts?

A：I don't know when it starts, too, but I can tell you how to find out. It's here in the local paper.

A：Here it is.

B：It starts at 7:00 in the evening. Let's go to the New York Cinema.

A：我们今天晚上做什么？

B：去看电影怎么样？

A：好主意。我们好久没有看电影了。

B：您想看什么？

A：噢，我不知道。间谍故事片怎么样？

B：间谍故事片？那种恐怖的老片吗？

A：詹姆士·邦德的片子。

B：但我以前看过了。

A：没关系。也许看第二次时会更喜欢它。

B：您能告诉我哪里在上映詹姆士·邦德的电影吗？

A：当然，在纽约电影院。

A：在这里。

B：晚上7点钟开始放映。我们去纽约电影院吧。

Dialogue Five　对话五

A：I really enjoyed that movie!

B：I did, too. At first I thought it was going to be a drag.

A：The protagonist is a famous one.

B：It is William S. Hart.

A：From 1914 to 1924 he was supreme and unchallenged.

B：The basic formula of the Western film was created by him.

A：He loved to act the good-and-bad man.

B：Unlike his contemporaries in Hollywood, he really knew something of the old West.

A：He had lived in the West as a child.

B：What part of the movie did you like best?

A：Oh, that noble outlaw in the mountain.

B：I liked that one, too. In fact, he was a noble man, not at all an outlaw.

A：To tell you the truth, I had a few tears in my eyes.

A：我真的喜欢那部影片。

B：我也喜欢。起初我还以为这一定是一部令人乏味的影片呢。

A：主角是个大名人。

B：是威廉·S. 哈特。

A：从1914年到1924年他是首屈一指和无可匹敌的。

B：西部电影的基本准则就是他创造出来的。

A：他喜欢扮演又好又坏的人物。

B：和他的好莱坞同时代人不同，他的确知道昔日西部的一些情况。

A：他在孩童时曾住在西部。

B：你最喜欢这部影片中的哪个片段？

A：哦，那座大山中的高尚的“歹徒”。

B：我也喜欢这一段。事实上，他是一个真正高尚的人，不是歹徒。

A：说真的，我当时都掉眼泪了。

B：Of course. Wait a minute.

A：亨利，能帮我个忙吗？

B：那你的电脑可能中毒了。你用任何外接设备时候都应该特别小心。

B：It's nothing unusual, for it's a joint art show of the world-famous artists, both past and present.

A：So that's why there are so many foreigners among the crowd. But who are those people over there?

Dialogue Five　对话五

A：What's this? I just can't understand it.

B：You mean this giant canvas? It's Guernica. It was made by Picasso in 1937, aimed to commemorate a town bombed by German planes. Look here, it looks somewhat like a dying horse and this is said to be murdered children, so it's a picture of a mined world with strange shapes of a dying horse and murdered children.

A：No wonder why it looks so terrible.

B：Your feeling shows you are quite correct. It's really a violent expression of revolt against the horror of modem warfare, in a language not understood by ordinary men.

A：Thank you for your flattering words.

A：这是什么？我怎么一点儿也看不懂？

B：你是指这幅巨幅油画吗？这幅画名为《格尔尼卡》。1937年，为了纪念被德国飞机轰炸的一个名叫格尔尼卡的小镇，毕加索创作了这幅油画。你看这儿，有点儿像一匹垂死的马。而这儿据说是被杀害的儿童。所以，这是一幅被毁灭的世界的图景，图上有形状奇特的垂死的马和惨遭杀戮的儿童。

A：怪不得看起来这么恐怖。

B：你的这种感觉表明你的欣赏水平不凡，因为这幅画是用普通人所不能理解的语言来表达反对恐怖的现代战争的强烈感情的。

A：谢谢夸奖。

A：Maybe we'd better find a gas station again.

B：There doesn't seem to be anything on this road except farm houses. And I don't see any signs, either.

A：What should we do?

B：I'll keep driving ahead. We would lose a lot of time if we backtracked.

A：I trust you. I certainly don't know how to get us to Bremen.

B：I have an idea. There's a restaurant up ahead. I'll get out and find someone who speaks English and ask for directions.

A：I hope you can. Neither of us speaks German!

A：这条路看起来不像是高速公路，是不？

B：确实不像。虽然我不想承认，不过我想我又把我们带迷路了。

A：别担心。我把地图从杂物柜里拿出来看一下……嗯，我们在哪里？

A：也许我们应该再找一家加油站。
