华尔街中级英语Lesson 48

1. Come in!
2. Oh, hello. Mary.  I wasn’t expecting 3 you.  What a surprise to see you, and, er…
3. I was 1 just passing, so I thought 4 I’d say “Hi”, and introduce 5 you to my new boyfriend 6, Bashir.
4. How do you do, Bashir?
5. Marco’s an old friend of mine, Bashir.
6. Oh, yeah?
7. That’s right—we’re friends--just friends!
8. Bashir’s a real 7 he—man, isn’t he?
9. Oh, yes.  Definitely 8!
10. Oh, there’s the phone!  I’ll just go and answer it
11. It’s alright Marco, I’ll get it.  You two men can have a little chat 9 together
1. Er…have you and Mary been going 10 out together for long?
2. What’s that got 11 to do with you
3. Oh. nothing at all!  I wonder 12 if that phone call’s for me.  I’ve been expecting someone 13 to call.
4. Hello!
5. You like Mary, do you?
6. Oh, yes.  I like her very much
7. Then you’d better be careful.  Is that clear 14?
8. Oh, yes, perfectly 15 clear!  I mean—I like Mary, but not in that way, really!
9. There’s someone for you on the phone, Marco.  I think it’s that German 16 woman.
10. Thanks.  Mary!  Oh, if you want a drink or anything, just help yourself 17.
11. Hello, is that Kristi?
12. Yes! Hello, Marco!  Was that Mary who answered the phone, by the way?
13. Yes, but don’t get the wrong idea, Kristi.
14. She’s just been visiting someone in the hostel 18, that’s all, and she just happened to—
15. It’s alright.  Marco, relax 19. Look, I’ve got some good news 20.
16. I’ve found 21 an apartment 22 at last—it was advertised 23 in the evening paper—and I’ve moved out of that awful 25 hotel
17. And I’d like to invite 26 you over to dinner tomorrow evening, to celebrate
18. Oh! Er…Is that a good idea?
19. What do you mean:” is that a good idea?”
20. That ‘s not a very polite 27 thing to say when you’re invited 28 to dinner by a lady.
21. I’m sorry, Kristi, but things didn’t go all that well last time, did 29 they?
22. My best suit 30 was stolen 31 and I was attacked 32 by two policeman!
23. And the first time there were those terrible 33 Americans, weren’t there?
24. Ah, but you know the English saying 34:” Third time lucky 35”. And anyway 36, there’s nothing to worry about this time.
25. Look, I’ve only been living 37 in this apartment for a few 38 days.  I haven’t even 24 given 39 the address to anyone 40 at work yet 41.
26. So what can possibly go wrong?
27. Nothing.  I suppose 42.
28. Of course 43 not.  So I’ll give you the address, then:  it’s Apartment 3B, Truleigh Court 44, 11 Church 45 Street.
29. I’m sure I’ve heard that address before.
30. I’ll tell you how to get there:  take the subway 46 to Clinton Park,
31. and as 2 you go out of the station there’s a bus stop on your left.  Get the 192A, and ask for the stop after the pharmacy 47.
32. Then you cross the road, take the second left.  Then…
33. It’s alright, Kristi, I remember how to get there.  I went to a party there once;
34. It was given by my English teacher’s father.
35. Oh, really, I was at that party too! It’s a small world, isn’t it?
36. Yes, it is. The party ended in a terrible fight 48, if you remember.
37. So it did.  Well, never mind 49.  I’ll see you tomorrow evening at 8 o’clock, Marco.
38. See you, Kristi!  And thanks for inviting me
