實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：準(zhǔn)備出門
Clare: Well, tonight, first of all I'm going to head back home and take a nap because I've got a big night ahead of me. So, I'm going to be going out quite late, about 11:00 so I'll need my energy, but unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to have much of a rest because it will be probably half past seven (7:30) by the time I get home and I need to start getting ready at about 9:00 so, an hour and a half max. 今晚，首先我要家睡會兒覺，因為我今天要熬夜到很晚。我要很晚出趟門，大約是晚上11點，因此我需要儲存能量，但不幸的是，我不認(rèn)為我會有時間休息，因為我大概會7點半到家，大約9點鐘開始準(zhǔn)備出門，所以我最多只有1個半小時。
Todd: Actually, what do you do to get ready when you go out? 實際上，你準(zhǔn)備出門都要做什么?
Clare: Well, have a shower, get changed, and then, play some games. 洗個澡，換身衣服，然后再玩兒會兒游戲。
Todd: OK. What games do you play? 你都玩什么游戲?
Clare: Well, we've recently acquired a pack of giant cards, so we'll be playing some card games with the giant cards. 我們最近新得了一副giant牌，所以我們用它來玩紙牌游戲。
Todd: So, can you like, give a specific game that you play? 你能具體說個紙牌游戲嗎?
Clare: Well, I don't know if you know the game "Play Your Cards Right" 你知不知道一個名叫“Play Your Cards Right”的游戲?
Todd: No, no, how do you play? 不知道，怎么玩?
Clare: It's actually a TV game show. We take it from that. And it's very simple. You have a row of cards that you can't see. And you turn over the first one, and you have to say whether the next card is going to be higher or lower. Very simple, so, so you turn over a 10, and you say lower, and it's a 6, so you carry on. You say, "higher" and it's a 4, and if you're wrong....so as you can imagine, it's very easy to go wrong. 實際上這個游戲是電視節(jié)目上的。我們從那兒學(xué)來的。這個游戲十分簡單。在你面前有一排紙牌，但你不能看。你要翻開第一張，然后預(yù)言下一張是比這張點兒大還是點兒小。很簡單，如果你第一張翻開是10點，你預(yù)言下一張點數(shù)更低，如果翻開是6，點兒更小了，說對了則繼續(xù)游戲。如果你說的是“點兒數(shù)更高”翻開卻是4，那你就預(yù)言錯了，可以想象這個游戲很容易說錯。
Todd: Yeah. It sounds like a good game. Well, have a good time tonight and good luck in getting ready. 是的。聽起來是個有趣的游戲。祝你今晚過得愉快，祝你好運。
