今天的這段對話,在討論相貌,
你喜歡什么樣的女孩?描述一個人的相貌猜猜她是誰
來聽今天的講解:
Beginner
A: That girl looks very attractive, doesn’t she?
那個女孩看起來很有魅力,不是嗎?
B: do you think so? I don’t like girls who look like that. I like girls who aren’t too slim. If you like her, go and talk to her.
你這么認為嗎?我不喜歡那樣的女孩。我喜歡不太苗條的女孩。如果你喜歡她,就去和她談談。
A: I’d like to, but there’s her boyfriend. He’s very broad-shouldered.
我很想去,但那是她的男朋友。他肩膀很寬。
B: he’s huge! He must go to the gym to have a well-built body like that.
他太棒了!他必須去健身房才能擁有那樣健美的身體。
A: do you prefer tall girls or short ones?
你喜歡高個子女孩還是矮個子女孩?
B: I don’t mind, but I like girls with long hair.
我不介意,但我喜歡長發(fā)女孩。
A: we have different tastes. I like girls with short hair. I like tall girls- probably because I’m so tall myself.
我們有不同的品味。我喜歡短發(fā)的女孩。我喜歡高個子女孩——可能是因為我自己太高了。
B: have you ever dated a girl taller than you?
你和比你高的女孩約會過嗎?
A: no, never. I don’t think I’ve ever met a girl taller than me! Have you gained weight recently?
不,從來沒有。我想我從來沒有遇到過比我高的女孩!你最近胖了嗎?
B: yes, I have. Perhaps I should go to the gym, like that girl’s boyfriend.
是的,我有。也許我應該去健身房,就像那個女孩的男朋友一樣。
A: I ‘m getting a bit plump myself. Perhaps I’ll go with you.
我自己有點胖了。也許我會和你一起去。
Intermediate
A: let’s play a little game. I’ll describe someone and you try and guess who it is.
讓我們玩一個小游戲。我來描述一個人,你試著猜是誰。
B: ok. I’m really bored at the moment.
好的。我現(xiàn)在真的很無聊。
A: ok. This man is tall and slim. He’s got blue eyes and curly brown hair.
好的。這個男人又高又瘦。他有一雙藍眼睛和一頭卷曲的棕色頭發(fā)。
B: does he have a moustache or a beard?
他留胡子還是留胡子?
A: good question. Yes, he has a moustache, but no beard.
問得好。是的,他留著胡子,但沒有胡子。
B: sounds like mike, is it?
聽起來像邁克,是嗎?
A: yes, it is. You describe someone we both know.
是的。你描述了一個我們都認識的人。
B: right. She’s not very tall and she’s quite plump. She’s got blonder hair, but I don’t know what color her eyes are.
對。她不是很高,而且很豐滿。她有一頭金發(fā),但我不知道她的眼睛是什么顏色。
A: is she attractive? I don’t think I know anyone like that.
她有魅力嗎?我想我不認識這樣的人。
B: I like slim girls, so I doubt I would find a plump girl attractive. You’ll have to give me some more information.
我喜歡苗條的女孩,所以我懷疑我是否會發(fā)現(xiàn)一個豐滿的女孩有吸引力。你必須給我更多的信息。
A: she’s got tiny feet and wears really unfashionable shoes. In fact, she wears unfashionable clothes too.
她腳很小,穿的鞋子很不時髦。事實上,她也穿不時髦的衣服。
B: this doesn’t sound like anyone I know. I give up. Teel me who she is.
這聽起來不像我認識的任何人。我放棄了。告訴我她是誰。
A: she’s your mother!
她是你媽媽!
B: how embarrassing! I don’t even recognize a description of my own mother! How important do you think appearance is ?
多么尷尬!我甚至連我自己母親的描述都認不出來!你認為外表有多重要?
A: I think that unfortunately it’s more important than a person’s character. Advertising and stuff tells us that we have to be attractive. I think it’s wrong, but that’s the way the world is now.
我認為,不幸的是,這比一個人的性格更重要。廣告和其他東西告訴我們,我們必須要有吸引力。我認為這是錯誤的,但這就是現(xiàn)在的世界。
A: I’m afraid you’re right. I chose my girlfriend because she has a wonderful personality.
恐怕你是對的。我之所以選擇我的女朋友,是因為她個性很好。
B: well, you certainly didn’t choose her because of her looks! Hey, I was joking! Don’t hit me!
嗯,你肯定不是因為她的長相才選擇她的!嘿,我在開玩笑!別打我!
