PART 3：INTERMEDIATE DIALOGUES
中級對話

如果你把前一部分最基本的初級對話都掌握了的話，那就開始下一步的跋涉——進軍中級對話吧。具有中級英語水平的人，也就具備了中級交流的能力。這一部分的對話涉及生活、工作和學習的點點滴滴，有發(fā)生在老朋友之間的，有同學之間、親友之間的，有發(fā)生在同事之間的，也有上下級之間的。但不論場景如何變化，它們的共同點就是――交流。

1． I Can’t Believe My Eyes
我簡直不能相信眼前的事實


A: I can’t believe my eyes!
我簡直不能相信眼前的事實！

B: Well, if it isn’t Mike Li!
這不是邁克•李嗎！

A: Jim Wang! It’s nice to see you again! It’s been a long time.
吉姆•王！見到你真是太高興了！好久不見了。

B: You know, Mike, I’ve been meaning to call you for a long time. I’m so glad I ran into you today.
邁克，你知道嗎，很久以來我一直想給你打電話。真高興今天能遇到你。

A: Me, too. How have you been doing?
我也一樣。你最近好嗎？

B: Super. How about yourself?
很好。你呢？

A: Pretty good. I can’t complain.
不錯，沒什么可抱怨的。

B: So tell me, the last time I saw you, you were planning to go abroad to study, weren’t you?
快說來聽聽，我上一次見到你的時候，你正準備去出國留學呢，是不是？

A: Yes, I guess I was. But as it turned out, I changed my mind. I decided not to go after all.
是，我想是的。但現(xiàn)在有了變化，我最終還是決定不去了。

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.
哦，是嗎？如果我沒記錯的話，你當時是要去加利福尼亞。是什么使你改變主意的？我記得你是被斯坦福大學錄取了。

A: Well, it’s a long story, and I don’t want to bore you with all the details. But what it boils down to is that I decided that going to Stanford wasn’t a very good idea. I decided to go to Beijing University instead. I want to save my money and start my own business after graduation.
說來話長。那些細節(jié)我就不贅述了。最后的結(jié)果是，我覺得去斯坦福讀書不太明智。我打算去北大。這樣，把錢省下來，畢業(yè)后可以自己開一家公司。

B: Really? That’s very interesting.
是嗎？那很有趣嘛。

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?
你怎么樣？上次我們聊的時候，你不是說要自己開個酒店嗎？

B: That’s right. I was. But things turned out differently than I expected.
對呀，是有這么回事。但結(jié)果卻和我預想的大不相同。

A: But you seemed so determined to do that. What happened?
可是你當時是決心很大的，發(fā)生了什么事呢？

B: Well, it’s very complicated, and I’m sure you don’t want to know all the details. 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.
說來復雜。我知道你不愿意聽詳細的個中原由。但結(jié)果卻是，我覺得自己開飯店并不適合我，所以就決定留在原來的工作崗位。

A: Well, a lot sure has happened since we last saw each other.
是啊，從上次見面以來，真是發(fā)生了很多事。

B: You can say that again! You know, we should try to stay in touch.
你說得對！我們應該盡量保持聯(lián)系。

A: Yes, we should. Let’s have lunch together sometime soon.
的確應該如此。我們最近找時間吃個午飯吧。

B: That’s a good idea. I’ll call you.
這主意不錯。我到時候給你打電話。

A: OK. Take care now.
好吧。多保重。

B: You, too.
你也是。


口語要素
大家會發(fā)現(xiàn)，對話里面出現(xiàn)最多的是精彩的“口語要素”，其實，日常對話都是這些零零碎碎的“口語要素”組成的！一部英文電影又何嘗不是成千上萬“口語要素”的集合呢！

★ I can’t believe my eyes! 我簡直不能相信眼前的事實！
舉一反三：
*　I can’t believe my ears! 真是讓人難以置信！
*　I can’t believe what I saw! 我不相信我的眼睛！

★ It’s nice to see you again! 又見到你真是太高興了！
★ It’s been a long time. 好久不見了。
★ I’m so glad I ran into you today. 真高興今天能遇到你。
★ How have you been doing? 你最近好嗎？
★ How about yourself? 你呢？過得好嗎？
★ Pretty good./ Super. / I can’t complain. 很好。/棒極了。/沒什么可抱怨的?！窘?jīng)典回答】
★ I changed my mind. 我改變了主意。
★ I decided not to go after all. 我最終還是決定不去了。
★ Whatever made you change your mind? 是什么使你改變主意的？
★ It’s a long story. 說來話長。
★ You can say that again! 你說得對！
舉一反三：
* You said it! 你說對了！
* I’ll say! 你說得對！
* You’re right! 你說得對！

★ I don’t want to bore you with all the details. 那些細節(jié)我就不贅述了。
★ I decided to go to Beijing University instead. 我最后決定去北大讀書。
★ Really? 是嗎？
★ That’s very interesting. 那很有趣嘛。
★ And how about you? 你怎么樣？
★ What happened? 發(fā)生了什么事呢？
★ We should try to stay in touch. 我們應該盡量保持聯(lián)系。
舉一反三：

* We should contact each other more often. 我們應該多多聯(lián)系。

* We should get together more often. 我們應該多多聯(lián)系。

★ Let’s have lunch together sometime soon. 我們最近找時間吃個午飯吧。
【瘋狂提示】
這是一個典型的結(jié)束此類談話的方式。如果有一個外國人到談話的末尾對你說出這句話，要謹記兩點：第一，不要追問確切的“一起吃午飯”的時間，第二，不要苦苦地等待那頓“不花錢的午餐”。如果對方出于誠意，他會這樣說：Let’s have lunch together next Monday, OK?
★ That’s a good idea. 這主意不錯。
★ I’ll call you. 我到時候給你打電話。
★ Take care now. 多保重。

李陽老師的話：與其囫圇吞棗，不如精雕細琢。將一段對話一步一步地消化掉，才是真正地掌握。這段話值得學習一個月。其實，一段對話中潛藏著巨大的寶藏！
