今天的这段对话，在讨论演出，
 
谈一谈演出的情况，你觉得这场演出怎么样
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A:  so, are you enjoying the performance so far?
 
哎,到目前为止你喜欢这场演出吗?
 
B:  well, the costumes and the set are marvellous, but the acting is a bit stiff. What do you think?
 
恩,服装和布景都很棒.但是演得有点儿呆板.你觉得呢?
 
A:  I think you're being a little critical. The actor in the lead role is fantastic. I suppose the chorus could be a bit better, though.
 
我觉得你有点儿太挑剔了.男主角演得相当不错.不过我觉得伴唱团还有点儿欠缺.
 
B:  do you know anyone in the play?
 
你认识这部戏里的演员吗?
 
A:  actually, the woman playing Ophelia is a past classmate of mine.
 
其实,演奥利维亚的女演员是我过去的同班同学.
 
B:  really? Is that why you wanted to come to the play?
 
真的吗?你之所以来看这部戏是因为这个吗?
 
A:  that's only part of it. I absolutely adore this director. Every play he works on turns out great.
 
那只是一部分原因.我非常欣赏这部戏的导演.他导的每部戏都特别好看.
 
B:  so you've seen other plays that he's directed?
 
那你还看过他执导的其他戏剧吗?
 
A:  quite a few actually. By the way, after the play, there's always a big party for the cast and their friends. My friend has invited us. Do you want to go?
 
看过好几部.顺便提一下,演出结束后剧组为演员们和他们的朋友准备了一个庆功宴.我朋友邀请了咱们.你想去吗?
 
B:  sure, I'd love to meet the cast! Have you ever been in a play?
 
当然去,我想看看演员们.你演过戏剧吗?
 
A:  I've never had a part in a play before, but I used to be a part of the stage crew in high school.
 
我以前从来没在什么剧里扮演过角色,不过中学的时候曾经做过后台工作人员.
 
B:  what did you do?
 
你是干什么的?
 
A:  I helped build the sets and find props for the plays. What about you?
 
帮忙搭建布景,准备道具.你呢?
 
B:  I once helped out with costumes, but I didn't enjoy it very much.
 
我曾经帮忙准备过服装,不过我不怎么喜欢干那个.
 
A:  why not?
 
为什么不喜欢?
 
B:  I spent over three weeks sewing sequins on a coat.
 
我花了三个多星期的时间,给一件衣服缝上亮片.
 
A:  that sounds kind of boring. Oh, look. They're dimming the lights. I think we should get back to our seats for the second half of the play.
 
听起来是挺无聊的.哦,快看,灯光又调暗了.咱们还是赶紧回座位上去吧,下半场要开始了.
