时间：2019-02-18 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Lucy: I’m so excited! My friend, Marlene, is coming to town for a visit.
Buddy 1: Have I met Marlene?
Lucy: No, I don’t think so. We grew up together and we were always joined at the hip 2.
Buddy: When I was little, I had a friend like that. We were blood brothers.
Lucy: Yeah, Marlene and I did everything together and she was my confidant about everything.
Buddy: She sounds like a great friend.
Lucy: Yeah, she always had my back and I could always count on her to give it to me straight.
Buddy: A friend like that is hard to come by. Are you still close?
Lucy: Not as close as I’d like. We live in different cities and it’s hard to keep up with what’s happening in each other’s lives.
Buddy: I can see that. Does she know you’re getting married?
Lucy: No, I wanted to break the news to her face-to-face.
Buddy: Why? I would have thought you’d want to tell her the good news right away.
Lucy: Well, I want her to be my maid of honor 3 and I’m not sure how she’ll react to the dress she’ll have to wear.
Buddy: Is it that bad?
Lucy: My future mother-in-law picked it out and I can’t say “no.” Here’s a picture of it.
Buddy: Well, I’m glad she’s such a good friend, because if anything can break up a friendship, it’s that dress.
Script 4 by Dr. Lucy Tse
- Calm down,buddy.What's the trouble?压压气，老兄。有什么麻烦吗？
- Get out of my way,buddy!别挡道了，你这家伙！
- The thigh bone is connected to the hip bone.股骨连着髋骨。
- The new coats blouse gracefully above the hip line.新外套在臀围线上优美地打着褶皱。
- I take your visit as a great honor.您的来访是我莫大的光荣。
- It is a great honor to receive that prize.能拿到那个奖是无上的光荣。
