最近想看什么書(shū)籍？談?wù)勱P(guān)于最近寫的書(shū)的問(wèn)題

來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:

beginner

A: what are you reading?

你在讀什么？

A: we’re going to the bookshop. Would you like to join us?

我們要去書(shū)店。你愿意和我們一起去嗎？

B: yes, I would. I need to buy a textbook for my course and, as you know, I love browsing through the latest paperbacks.

是的，我會(huì)的。我需要為我的課程買一本教科書(shū)，而且，正如你所知，我喜歡瀏覽最新的平裝本。

A: me too. I need something to read on the flight to new york. I can never sleep on planes. Sarah wants to pick up some children’s books for her daughter.

我也是。我需要在飛往紐約的航班上讀點(diǎn)什么。我在飛機(jī)上永遠(yuǎn)睡不著。薩拉想給她女兒買一些兒童讀物。

我想看看納爾遜曼德拉的自傳。

A: this is sure to be a worthwhile read.

這肯定是一本值得一讀的書(shū)。

Intermediate

A: good morning. I’m from the new york book review. Could I ask you some question about your latest book?

早上好。我是《紐約書(shū)評(píng)》的。我能問(wèn)你一些關(guān)于你最近的書(shū)的問(wèn)題嗎？

B: sure. Take a seat… what would you like to know?

當(dāng)然。坐下來(lái)…你想知道什么？

A: first, I’ve heard that your latest book is based on a true story.

首先，我聽(tīng)說(shuō)你的新書(shū)是根據(jù)一個(gè)真實(shí)的故事改編的。

B: that’s correct. It’s a murder mystery based on actual murders that book place in florida several years ago. The main character-the police invesigator-is based on the man who investigated the case.

沒(méi)錯(cuò)。這是一部根據(jù)幾年前佛羅里達(dá)州發(fā)生的實(shí)際謀殺案改編的謀殺懸疑片。主角警察調(diào)查員是以調(diào)查此案的人為原型的。

A: how do you research your books?

你是如何研究你的書(shū)的？

B: I always visit the places that I use as setting for stories. Readers like things to be as factually correct as possible-even in fiction! I usually base my characters on people I have met. Most character are a mixture of the characters of two or more people.

我總是去那些我用來(lái)寫故事的地方。即使在小說(shuō)中，讀者也喜歡盡可能真實(shí)的東西！我的性格通常是以我遇到的人為基礎(chǔ)的。大多數(shù)性格是兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的人的混合性格。

A: I really like your books. I’ve just finished this one. I read it from cover to cover in a single day. Congratulation on making the bestseller list yet again!

我真的很喜歡你的書(shū)。我剛讀完這本。我一天之內(nèi)就把它從頭到尾讀了一遍。祝賀你再次登上暢銷書(shū)排行榜！

B: thank you. Let met sign it for you …there you go.

謝謝。讓我?guī)湍愫瀭€(gè)字……給你。

A: oh! Thank you very much. I heard that you are currently writing a collection of short stories. What are the stories about?

哦！非常感謝。我聽(tīng)說(shuō)你正在寫一本短篇小說(shuō)集。這些故事是關(guān)于什么的？

B: there’s a real mix of stories in the book. I haven’t finished all of them yet, though. Many of them are short detective stories, but there are also horror stories and sci-fi ones. If you give me your business card, I’ll make sure you get an advance copy to review.

這本書(shū)中的故事真的很混雜。不過(guò)我還沒(méi)有全部讀完。其中很多是短篇偵探小說(shuō)，但也有恐怖故事和科幻故事。如果你把名片給我，我會(huì)確保你提前拿到一本來(lái)復(fù)習(xí)。

A: thanks very much. I’m sure it will sell well. I can’t wait to read it. Here’s my card. Thank you for you time.

非常感謝。我相信它會(huì)賣得很好。我等不及要看了。這是我的名片。謝謝你抽出時(shí)間。
