常用應(yīng)急場景

范例一：Learn to play Majiang 學(xué)打麻將

M: Have you ever played Majiang? 你有玩過麻將嗎?

W: Not really, but I know it is very popular a traditional Chinese gambling game.

沒有，但是我知道它是一項非常受歡迎的中國傳統(tǒng)的賭博游戲。

M: Yes, some friends play it all day, all night, and sometimes a whole weekend. I tried to read about some basic rules online, but it is hard to understand. So I went to watch people play yesterday only to find I was even more confused. I think I have to work hard on those rules and more learning by doing. Practice makes the master.

是的，有些朋友整天整夜，甚至有時整個星期都在玩。我試著在網(wǎng)上看一些基本的規(guī)則，但是太難理解了。所以昨天我跑去看一下人打，沒想到我更加困惑了。我想我必須努力研究這些規(guī)則，通過做來學(xué)。實踐出主人。

W: Typical Francis, whether you are at work, or engaged in leisure time activities, you always show the same eagerness and curiosity to learn something new and improve yourself.

Francis這就是你，無論你是工作還是參加休閑活動，你總是對表現(xiàn)出同樣的渴望和好奇心去學(xué)習新東西和提升自己。

M: It is important to keep your mind up-to-date and active.

保持思想的與時俱進和積極主動是很重要的。

范例二：Cool down 冷靜

M: I am going to celebrate my birthday with you all in a night club this year, what do you say?

今年我打算和你們所有人在夜總會慶祝我的生日，你們覺得怎樣?

W: Fantastic! I enjoy clubbing, especially those clubs with live bands. The only fly in the ointment is that the air is bad, full of smoke, and the music is too loud, so conversations are not really possible. Once I nearly got burnt by a cigarette.

太好了!我喜歡泡夜總會，特別是那些有現(xiàn)場樂隊的俱樂部。唯一掃興的是那里的空氣太差了，到處是煙味，音樂太吵了，所以談話時不太可能的。我有一次還被一根煙燙傷。

M: How did that happen?

怎么發(fā)生的?

W: A wild dancer dropped it on my left foot and said nothing about it. If I had drunk enough and I would have had the bold to punch him in the face.

一個狂熱的舞者仍到我的左腳上，然后什么都沒有說。如果我喝得夠醉，我就有勇氣一拳打到他臉上。

M: Sounds cool! But that is not what a lady should do. People are easy to lose head in a night club and being drunk.

聽起來太酷了!但是這不是一個淑女應(yīng)該做的。人們在夜總會是很容易失去理智和喝醉的。
