第七周：星期四　In the Cinema 看电影

     A：Would you like to go to the movies tonight?
     B：Well, I just saw a horror movie last night. It almost frightened me to death.
     A：Well, we could see something different like a detective film.
     B：l don't care for a detective film. It also makes me nervous.
     A：How about a comedy?
     B：No, l don't think comedies today are natural or cheerful.
     A：How about a love story then?
     B：No, romance is boring.
     A：What's you opinion?
     B：Let's go to see a war movie, shall we?
     A：Really?
     B：Certainly. Is there anything wrong?
     A：No, but I can't imagine that a girl like you will like a war movie.
     A：今天晚上去看电影怎么样？
     B：哦，我昨天晚上看了恐怖片，把我吓坏了。
     A：嗯，我们可以看不同的片子，像侦探片。
     B：我对侦探片不感兴趣。它也会使我紧张。
     A：喜剧片怎么样？
     B：不，我感觉当前的喜剧片不自然，无法使人振奋起来。
     A：那么爱情片呢？
     B：不行，爱情片很乏味。
     A：你有什么主意？
     B：我们去看战争片吧？
     A：真的吗？
     B：当然。有什么问题吗？
     A：没有，但我不敢相信像你这样的女孩会喜欢战争电影。

     A：Shall we go to see Blue Horizons? I heard it was a good movie and we shouldn't miss it.
     B：Isn't it starring Sophia Belli and Richard Evans?
     A：Yeah, it is.
     B：Great! Those two are so smart that it must be worth seeing.
     A：Certainly. Let's go.
     B：Hum, by the way, have you heard American Hollywood wanted to continue the next part of Gone with the Wind?
     A：Yes, I got the news from the TV. They are looking for the actress and actor around the world.
     B：Have they found the best?
     A：I don't know, but I think they will find the best pair.
     B：Well, we're looking forward to seeing the film.
     A：我们去看《蓝色地平线》好吗？我听说它是部好电影，我们不应错过。
     B：主演是索菲娅·贝莉和理查德·埃文斯吗？
     A：嗯，是啊。
     B：太好了！那两个人太棒了，这部电影一定值得看。
     A：那是一定的。我们走吧。
     B：嗯，顺便问一下，你听说过美国好莱坞想拍《乱世佳人》的续集吗？
     A：是啊，我是在电视上得知这个消息的。他们正在全世界范围内找男女演员呢。
     B：他们找到最适合的演员了吗？
     A：不知道，但我想他们会找到最好的一对的。
     B：嗯，我们期待看到这部电影。

     A：How did you like the picture?
     B：The editing and plot are both good. I was tickled to death with the dialogue.
     A：I want to go to the movies, but nothing interesting is being shown right now.
     B：Why don't you go to an MTV place?
     A：I don't know what an MTV place is. I have never heard about it.
     B：It is a place where you can watch a movie on videotape. It's quite comfortable and they generally have a wide variety of movies to choose from.
     A：Is it expensive?
     B：The first time you go there you have to pay a membership fee. After that it's quite reasonable, and each time you go they'll give you a free drink.
     A：That sounds all right, but I don't even know where to find an MTV place.
     B：All right, we'll go together. I have a membership at a pretty nice one.
     A：你认为这部电影怎么样？
     B：编剧和情节都很好。电影里的对白让我笑破了肚皮。
     A：我想去看电影，可是现在上映的片子都没什么意思。
     B：你为何不到MTV（影视中心）看看？
     A：我不知道什么是MTV。我从未听说过。
     B：那是一个可以让你看录像带影片的地方。那地方十分舒适，通常备有各种各样的影片可供选择。
     A：费用高不高？
     B：第一次要付会员费。往后收费很合理，而且每次去，他们免费给你一杯饮料。
     A：听起来真不错。不过我还是不知道什么地方有影视中心。
     B：那好，我们一起去。我是一家办得很好的影视中心的会员。

     A：What shall we do tonight?
     B：How about the cinema?
     A：Good idea. We haven't been for ages.
     B：What would you like to see?
     A：Oh, I don't know. Spy story?
     B：Spy story? That terrible, isn't it an old film?
     A：But it's got James Bond in it.
     B：But I've seen it before.
     A：Never mind. Perhaps you'll like it better the second time.
     B：Can you tell me where the James Bond film is being shown?
     A：Sure, at the New York Cinema.
     B：Do you know when it starts?
     A：I don't know when it starts, too, but I can tell you how to find out. It's here in the local paper.
     B：Can you show me which page it is on?
     A：Here it is.
     B：It starts at 7:00 in the evening. Let's go to the New York Cinema.
     A：我们今天晚上做什么？
     B：去看电影怎么样？
     A：好主意。我们好久没有看电影了。
     B：您想看什么？
     A：噢，我不知道。间谍故事片怎么样？
     B：间谍故事片？那种恐怖的老片吗？
     A：詹姆士·邦德的片子。
     B：但我以前看过了。
     A：没关系。也许看第二次时会更喜欢它。
     B：您能告诉我哪里在上映詹姆士·邦德的电影吗？
     A：当然，在纽约电影院。
     B：您知道什么时候开始放映吗？
     A：我也不知道什么时候开始，但我可以告诉您怎么找到它。本地的报纸上有这方面的消息。
     B：您能告诉我在哪一版上吗？
     A：在这里。
     B：晚上7点钟开始放映。我们去纽约电影院吧。

     A：I really enjoyed that movie!
     B：I did, too. At first I thought it was going to be a drag.
     A：The protagonist is a famous one.
     B：It is William S. Hart.
     A：From 1914 to 1924 he was supreme and unchallenged.
     B：The basic formula of the Western film was created by him.
     A：He loved to act the good-and-bad man.
     B：Unlike his contemporaries in Hollywood, he really knew something of the old West.
     A：He had lived in the West as a child.
     B：What part of the movie did you like best?
     A：Oh, that noble outlaw in the mountain.
     B：I liked that one, too. In fact, he was a noble man, not at all an outlaw.
     A：To tell you the truth, I had a few tears in my eyes.
     A：我真的喜欢那部影片。
     B：我也喜欢。起初我还以为这一定是一部令人乏味的影片呢。
     A：主角是个大名人。
     B：是威廉·S. 哈特。
     A：从1914年到1924年他是首屈一指和无可匹敌的。
     B：西部电影的基本准则就是他创造出来的。
     A：他喜欢扮演又好又坏的人物。
     B：和他的好莱坞同时代人不同，他的确知道昔日西部的一些情况。
     A：他在孩童时曾住在西部。
     B：你最喜欢这部影片中的哪个片段？
     A：哦，那座大山中的高尚的"歹徒"。
     B：我也喜欢这一段。事实上，他是一个真正高尚的人，不是歹徒。
     A：说真的，我当时都掉眼泪了。
