英语情景对话
A:Is your lady beautiful? Since I came here from the country, I've not seen her close. Tell me, is she beautiful?
A:你的爱人美吗？因为自从我从乡下来，还没近看过她。告诉我，她美吗？
B:Thomas, if I could write with the beauty in her eyes, I was born to look in them and know myself.
B:托马斯，我简直无法描述她那双明眸的美丽。我生来注定是要在她的双眸中看清我自己。
A:And, her lips?
A:那，她的双唇呢？
B:Her lips? The early morning rose would wither 1 on the branch if it could feel envy.
B:她的双唇？清晨的玫瑰如果知道妒忌，都会在枝头枯萎。
A:And her voice like a lark's song?
A:她的声音就像百灵鸟唱歌？
B:Deeper, softer, none of your twittering larks 2. I would banish 3 nightingales from her garden before they interrupted her song.
B:更深沉、更轻柔，才不像那闹喳喳的百灵鸟。我要把花园里的夜莺都赶走，免得它们打断了她的歌声。
A:Oh, she sings too?
A:哦，她还唱歌啊？
B:Constantly. Without doubt, and plays the lute 4. She has a natural ear.
