[00:02.02]中级对话
[00:04.05]1.I Can't Believe My Eyes
[00:03.55]我简直不能相信眼前的事实
[00:03.05]A:I can't believe my eyes!
[00:02.55]我简直不能相信眼前的事实！
[00:02.05]B:Well,if it isn't Mike Li!
[00:01.55]这不是迈克·李吗！
[00:01.05]A:Jim Wang!It's nice to see you again!It's been a long time.
[00:03.45]吉姆·王！再见到你真是太高兴了！好久不见了。
[00:05.86]B:You know,Mike,I've been meaning to call you for a long time.I'm so glad I ran into you today.
[00:05.36]迈克，你知道吗，很久以来我一直想给你打电话。真高兴今天能遇到你。
[00:04.86]A:Me,too.How have you been doing?
[00:04.36]我也一样。你最近好吗？
[00:03.86]B:Super.How about yourself?
[00:03.36]很好。你呢？
[00:02.86]A:Pretty good.I can't complain.
[00:02.36]不错。没什么可抱怨的。
[00:01.86]B:So tell me,the last time I saw you,you were planning to go abroad to study,weren't you?
[00:01.36]快说来听听，我上一次见到你的时候，你正准备去出国留学呢，是不是？
[00:00.86]A:Yes,I guess I was.But as it turned out,I changed my mind.I decided not to go after all.
[00:00.36]是，我想是的。但现在有了变化，我最终还是决定不去了。
[00:-0.14]B:Oh,really?But if I remember correctly,you were intent on going to California.Whatever made you change your mind?I thought you were accepted to Stanford.
[00:-0.64]哦，是吗？如果我没记错的话，你当时是要去加利福尼亚。是什么使你改变主意的？我记得你是被斯坦福大学录取了。
[00:-1.14]A:Well,it's a long story,and I don't want to bore you with all the details.
[00:-1.64]说来话长。那些细节我就不赘述了。
[00:-2.14]But what it boils down to is that I decided that going to Stanford wasn't a very good idea.
[00:-2.64]最后的结果是，我觉得去斯坦福读书不太明智。
[00:-3.14]I decided to go to Beijing University instead.I want to save my money and start my own business after graduation.
[00:-3.64]我打算去北大。这样，把钱省下来，毕业后可以自己开一家公司。
[00:-4.14]B:Really?That's very interesting.
[00:-4.64]是吗？那很有趣嘛。
[00:-5.14]A:And how about you?The last time we talked,didn't you tell me you were going to open your own restaurant and hotel?
[00:-5.64]你怎么样？上次我们聊的时候，你不是说要自己开个酒店吗？
[00:-6.14]B:That's right.I was.But things turned out differently than I expected.
[00:-6.64]对呀。是有这么回事。但结果却和我预想的大不相同。
[00:-7.14]A:But you seemed so determined to do that.What happened?
[00:-7.64]可是你当时是决心很大的。发生了什么事呢？
[00:-8.14]B:Well,it's very complicated,and I'm sure you don't want to know all the details.
[00:-8.64]说来复杂，我知道你不愿意听详细的个中原由。
[00:-9.14]But as it turned out,I decided that opening my restaurant just wasn't for me.So I decided to stay at my old job instead.
[00:-9.64]但结果却是，我觉得自己开饭店并不适合我。所以就决定留在原来的工作岗位。
[00:10.14]A:Well,a lot sure has happened sice we last saw each other.
[00:10.64]是啊，从上次见面以来，真是发生了很多事。
[00:11.14]B:You can say that again!You know,we should try to stay in touch.
[00:11.64]你说得对！我们应该尽量保持联系。
[00:12.14]A:Yes,we should.Let's have lunch together sometime soon.
[00:12.64]的确应该如此。我们最近找时间吃个午饭吧。
[00:13.14]B:That's a good idea.I'll call you.
[00:13.64]这主意不错。我到时候给你打电话。
[00:14.14]A:OK.Take care now.
[00:14.64]好吧。多保重。
[00:15.14]B:You,too.
[00:15.64]你也是。
[00:16.14]2.You Worry Too Much
[00:16.64]你想的太多了
[00:17.14]A:Hi,Jim.
[00:17.64]你好，吉姆。
[00:18.14]B:What's wrong?You look upset about something.
[00:18.64]怎么回事？你看上去有点不安。
[00:19.14]A:You know...I'm getting a little worried about our English teacher.She should have shown up for class by now.It's not like her to be late.
[00:19.64]你知道，我有点担心我们的英语老师。她现在该到了。迟到可不是她的作风。
[00:20.14]B:I wouldn't be concerned.She must have gotten stuck in traffic.Traffic has been terrible lately.
[00:20.64]我不担心。她肯定是遇上塞车了，最近交通不太顺畅。
[00:21.14]A:I don't know.She might have...but then again,I'm not so sure.I'm afraid something must have happened.I just have a bad feeling that she's in trouble.
[00:21.64]我也说不清楚。她可能……我也不知道。我担心发生了什么事。我有一种预感，她遇到麻烦了。
[00:22.14]B:Oh,come on now.Don't jump to conclusions.I'm positive she'll show up for class soon.You worry too much.
[00:22.64]噢，别瞎想了。不要妄下结论。她很快就会来上课的。你想的太多了。
[00:23.14]A:I can't help it.It's just my nature.
[00:23.64]我就是忍不住。这是我的天性。
[00:24.14]B:Look,there's Dr.Lee now.See,I told you not to worry.
[00:24.64]看，那不是李教授吗。我告诉过你不要担心嘛。
[00:25.14]A:I'm so relieved!I guess you're right.I need to relax and not worry so much.
[00:25.64]这我就放心了。我想你是对的。我应该放松点，不要那么紧张兮兮。
[00:26.14]3.Thanks for Filling Me In
[00:26.64]谢谢你让我知道
[00:27.14]A:This seat taken?
[00:27.64]这儿有人坐吗？
[00:28.14]B:No,go ahead,be my guest.I haven't seen you before.Are you new in engineering?
[00:28.64]没人，坐吧，请随便。我从没见过你。你是工程系新来的吧？
[00:29.14]A:Yeah,I just switched my major from computer science-too much math!I couldn't take the pressure.
[00:29.64]对，我刚换了专业，学计算机专业要学太多的数学！我受不了那压力。
[00:30.14]B:Well,don't expect it to be any better here!What's your name,anyway?
[00:30.64]工程系也好不到哪儿去！哦，你叫什么名字？

[00:32.64]本·琼斯，但人们都叫我“BJ”。
[00:33.14]A:BJ,huh?Well,I'm not going to tell you what my nickname is!Oh,here comes the professor.What's this name,anyway?Scarey,or something like that?
[00:33.64]BJ，对吧？我不会告诉你我的外号的！哦，教授来了！他叫什么来着？斯凯瑞？还是什么？
[00:34.14]B:James Kerry.But we call him "Big Jim" because he's so short.
[00:34.64]詹姆斯·凯瑞。但是我们都叫他“大吉姆”，因为他太矮了。
[00:35.14]A:To his face?
[00:35.64]当着他的面叫他？
[00:36.14]B:No.Are you kidding?He has a bad temper.I know he wouldn't think it was funny.I think it's really funny.He is a little guy.He's not a bad teacher though.
[00:36.64]不。谁敢呀？他脾气很坏的。他才不会觉得这有趣呢。我觉得实在好笑。他个子不高，但是个不错的老师。
[00:37.14]A:Well,that's good to know.Thanks for filling me in.
[00:37.64]谢谢你让我知道这些，这对我很有用。
[00:38.14]B:Anytime.

[00:43.64]很好。我和杰瑞准备明天晚上去看电影，但是没有车。如果你能开车带我们去，你的电影票我们包了，这个主意怎么样？
[00:44.14]A:Well,it sounds like fun,but actually I've really got a lot of homework to do.
[00:44.64]好像是不错，但是我有好多作业要做。
[00:45.14]B:Oh,come on,Tom.It'll be fun.It's only a few hours.It'll help you relax.You'll study better!
[00:45.64]哦，别这样，汤姆。我们会很开心的，就那么几个小时。你也正好放松一下。这会帮你更好地学习。
[00:46.14]A:I really can't.I've got an English exam on Monday and a book report due on Tuesday that I'm really getting nervous about.
[00:46.64]我真的不能去。我星期一有个英语考试，星期二要交一篇读书报告，这使我很紧张。
[00:47.14]I don't think I'd enjoy it much.But thanks a lot for thinking of me.Sorry I can't help you out.
[00:47.64]我看电影也看不到心上。但是谢谢你们还想着我。抱歉，我实在是帮不了这个忙。
[00:48.14]B:Oh,don't worry about it.Maybe next time.Good luck on your exam.We'll be thinking of you!

[-1:17.14]B:You think I'll be able to buy a BMW?
[-1:17.64]你以为我能买一辆宝车吗？
[-1:18.14]A:Well,I think you'd better wait and see how much is left after Uncle Sam gets his share!
[-1:18.64]不过，你最好还是看看等纳完税之后还有多少剩余吧！
[-1:19.14]A:Actually everybody is really impressed.
[-1:19.64]其实所有的人都很羡慕呢。
[-1:20.14]B:I guess it's not a big deal after all.
[-1:20.64]我觉得这也没什么。
[-1:21.14]A:Anyway,I am really sorry.Next time I'll think before I speak.

[-1:45.14]A:Are you learning English for any particular reason?
[-1:45.64]你学英语有没有什么特别的原因？

[-1:47.64]你来这里之前在中国学过英语吗？
[-1:48.14]B:Sure.When I was a student in China I studied English for six years.But that was a long time ago and in the meantime I forgot all my grammar.
[-1:48.64]学过。我在中国上学的时候学了6年英语。但那是很久以前的事了，语法也早就全忘光了。
[-1:49.14]So before I came to America I went to English classes for two hours each week for six months.
[-1:49.64]在来美国之前我每周去上两个小时的英语课，一共上了半年。
