他们也不怕弄湿自己

The wind is blowing. It's snowing hard. It looks like a blizzard. It looks like tons of snow. The wind is definitely howling
I hope not. Blizzard are dangerous. I think I miss summer
像是要下雪
希望如此。我喜欢下雪。我喜欢美丽的雪。
风在呼啸，雪也萧萧。像是下暴风雪。像是在下成吨的雪。风在怒吼。
希望不是暴风雪。暴风雪很危险。我倒是想念夏天了



It looks like a below freezing day. It looks cold. It looks cold and windy
I hope not. I hate the cold
今天看起来要零度以下。看起来很冷，又冷又大风
希望不要，我讨厌冷天

I don't feel like studying tonight
Neither do I
Let's go to a movie tonight. I feel like going to a movie tonight
Let's go. I will treat you. Movies are so expensive
No, it's my trun. Last time, you paid. It's my turn this time
No, you shouldn't pay. It's too expensive. You are still a student. You do not make big money.
It's my turn, and that's that
Ok, thank you.
今晚我不想读书
我也不想
晚上我们去看电影吧。晚上我想去看电影
去看吧。我请你看电影，电影票很贵
不，到我请你了，你上次给的钱，这次该我了
不，你不应该付，电影票太贵，你还是学生，还没有赚钱
反正轮到我了，就这么定了
好吧，谢谢你


Can you speak English?
Yes, I can. But not very well
Can you understand your English teacher?
Most of time
你会说英语吗？
会啊，但是说得不好
你能听懂英语老师说什么吗？
大多数的时候可以


Can Chris speak Chinese?
No, he can't. Not a bit
Can he speak Russian?
No, he can't. Not one word
Can he speak Japanese?
No, he can't. Not even one word
Can he speak English?
Of course, he can. It's his native language. He was born in New York
克里斯会说汉语吗？
不会，一点儿都不会
他会说俄语吗？
不会，一个字都不会
他会说日语吗？
不会，就连一个字都不会
他会说英语吗？
当然会啦，英语是他的母语嘛，他在纽约出生的



Your English sounds good. It sounds great!
It's very kind of you to say so
Yes, I mean it. You speak English very well
No, not really
I wish my English sounded like yours
You are just being kind
No. I meant what I said. And I said what I meant
Really?
Your English soudns wonderful. It sounds beautiful! You speak English very well. I am serious. Don't be so modest! You could teach English anywhere in the world. Your English would be respected. I really mean it.
Thank you. It's very nice of you to say so
你的英语听起来很好，太好了

真的吗？
你的英语听起来真的很好，很优美！你的英语说得非常好！我是认真的，不要这么谦虚，你可以在世界上任何地方教英语，你的英语会受到尊重，我是认真的。
谢谢，你真好，说这样的话


I am afraid I can't learn Chinese
Why not?
It's too difficult. I just can't do it
yes, you can
No, I can't
If I can learn English and spanish, you can learn Chinese. English is a monster language. It has far too many words. Spanish is not easy. But Chinese is a piece of cake.
That's not true. Chinese is your native language. I cannot learn the Chinese characters. I can never pronounce the words right
Believe me. It's not that hard
You are smarter than I am
That's not true. Do what I do. Listen to tapes. Listen to CDs. Practice, practice some more
恐怕我学不会中文
为什么学不会？
中文太难了，我就是学不了
可以的，你可以学会
不行，我学不了
如果我可以学会英语和西班牙语，你可以可以学会中文。英语是一种庞杂的语言，里面有太多词语。西班牙语也不容易。但是中文却很容易。
那才不对呢。中文是你的母语，我学不会中文字，也无法正确发音
相信我，学习中文不是那么难
你比我聪明
不是啦，你可以按照我的方法去做。听录音带，听CD，练习，不停地练习。


I am afraid my Spanish soudns awful
Don't be silly. Your Spanish sounds fine
My Spanish sounds like a frog croaking
Don't be silly. Your spanish is getting better every day
Is that true?
Yes, it certainly is. Practitce and you will get better and better
Practice isn't easy
Make practice fun. Listen to Spanish music. Read simple stories in Spanish.The more you listen to Spanish, the better you will sound. The more you read, the more words you will know
恐怕我的西班牙语听起来很难听啊
别傻了，你的西班牙语很不错
真的吗？
真的，当然是真的。不听地练习，你的西班牙语会越来越好
练习不是件容易的事
把练习变成一件乐趣，听听西班牙音乐，阅读简单的西班牙语故事，听得越多，你的西班牙语就会听起来越好。你读得越多，你的西班牙词语就会懂得越多



You look lovely today
So do you
You look wonderful today
You too
You look terrific today
You too

I haven't seen you for a long time. It's been a long time
It certainly has
You haven't changed a bit. What's your secret? How come you don't look any older?
I walk five miles a day
很久不见了，真的很久了
当然是很久了
你一地那都没有变，你有什么秘密？你怎么看上去一点都不老？
每天我步行5里路



I haven't seen you for a long time. You haven't changed at all
Neither have you
很久不见了，你一点都没有变
你也没有变啊

好棒的网球鞋！我喜欢你这对黑色的网球鞋！



What a pretty bright skirt! I really like the colour. It looks so nice on you. It's a man-killer skirt
My mother will say it is too short
She might be right. But it looks fantastic. How does it feel?
Comfortable, but tight. Do you see what happens when I sit down? it is way too short!
Yes, it looks good when you are standing. But when you sit down, it's far too short
Let's go and look at some other skirts. Besides, what good is a skirt that kills men? I need a safer skirt. Safe for me, safe for them. No need to go around causing heart attacks
多麽靓丽的裙子啊！我非常喜欢它的颜色，看起来非常配你。这是一条迷死男人的裙子。但是妈妈说太短了
她或许说得对，但是这条裙子看上去真的棒啊！穿着感觉怎么样？
很舒服，但是有点紧。你看到我坐下来的情形吗？太短了
是啊，你站着的时候，看上去很不错；但是你坐下的时候，确实是太短了
我们去看看其他的裙子吧。更何况，穿着令人男人神魂颠倒的裙子又有什么好处呢？我需要一条安全的裙子，对我安全，对男人也安全。无需到处令到男人心脏病发作。

Does Jack love Jane?
Yes, he loves her very much. He gives Jane flowers every day
Does Jane love Jack?
No, she doesn't love him. She keeps the flowers, but she won't go out on a date with him. Isn't that a shame! I think they would be a good match for each other. But jane likes Big Mouth Tom. She goes out with him every week.
She likes Big Mouth Tom? How could that be? He is not suitable for Jane. He is lazy and crazy. Jane is serious and responsible. Tom never studies and he sleeps all day. And he talks too much. He always makes up stories about what he did or is going to do. Tom is a party guy
Yes. He is a playboy. If Jane marries him she will regret it. He will soon be chasing other women. That's just the way he is.
I can't see why Jane goes out with him
Maybe he is the only guy that she enjoys being with
I doubt it. He doesn't have a serious bone in his body. He is a talker not a doer.
Well, I don't think Jane loves him. maybe she sees him only as an entertaining friend. She is wise enough to figure him out. How about Mark?
Mark isn't suitable for Jane, either. Mark is rich but eccentric. He spends all day with his computer. All he does is watch the stock market. All he realluy cares about is making money. He doesn't like to laugh or go for walks. He only talks about business. He wants to marry a rich woman. Jane is smart, but she isn't rich.
Who should she fall in love with?
She should fall in love with me. She should love me. I am perfect for her. I respect her. I love her. We are perfect for each other.
Well, you had better get your butt in gear. You should better hustle. You need to compete. Right now. Tell her that you think she is wonderful. Tell her you think she is smarrt. Give her a big smile every time you see her. Tell her her eyes twinkle when she laughts. Ask her out to a movie. Ask her out for a pizza or a strawberry float. Don't wait any longer. Let her know that you care
You are right. I will ask her out tomorrow. I will ask her if she wants to go out for a banana split
Now that's the spirit
杰克爱珍妮吗/
是的，他很爱她。他每天都送花给她
珍妮爱杰克吗？
不，她不爱杰克。她收下花，但从不和他约会。多可惜呀。我认为他们很配，但是真系喜欢大嘴巴汤姆。她每周都和他出去。
她喜欢大嘴巴汤姆？怎么会呢？他不适合珍妮呀。他又懒又疯疯癫癫，而珍妮则严肃又有责任心。汤姆从来都不念书，整天睡觉。他的话说个不停，老是编故事，说他曾经做过什么或将要做什么。他是个派对常客。
对，他是个花花公子。如果珍妮嫁给他会后悔。他会很快追求其他女人。他就是这么一个德行。
我不明白为何珍妮会和他出去
也许汤姆是珍妮唯一喜欢在一起的人
我很怀疑。他是个玩世不恭的人，光说不练。
嗯，我不认为珍妮爱他。也许她只是当他是个一齐玩乐的朋友。她聪明到足以认清他是什么人。马克这个人咋怎么样？
马克也不适合珍妮。马克很有钱，但很古怪。他整天把时间花在电脑上。他所做的事情就是观察股市。他唯一关心的就是赚钱。他不喜欢笑，不喜欢散步，开口闭口都是生意。他想娶一个富有的女人。珍妮很聪明，但并不富有。
那珍妮应该和谁谈恋爱呢？
她应该和我谈恋爱。她应该爱上我。我最配她，我很尊重她，我又爱她，我们是完美的一对。
那你最好开始行动。不要犹豫了，你需要开始竞争了。就在现在！告诉她，你觉得她是最好的，让她知道你觉得她聪明。每次见到她，都对着她微笑一下。告诉她，当她笑的时候，她的眼睛闪烁动人。邀请她一同去看电影，和她一起去喝草莓冰淇淋饮料。不要再等了，让她知道你是很在意她。
你说得对。我明天就邀请她一同出去。我会问她想不想去吃香蕉船。
这才像话嘛。


I am in love with Sue
Is that true?
She is on my mind day and night
Does she know how you feel?
No, she doesn't. But I can't stop thinking about her
Tell her about it. Let her know that you like her a lot. Ask her out on a date
I am too shy. I am in love with Sue. What should I do? I am hoplessly stuck on Sue
Is that really true? What have you done about it?
Dreamed a lot. She is on my mind day and night. She is in my imaginagtion all day and in my dreams all night
How can she know what you feel? Can you tell her that she is better than chocolate ice cream? Will you do that?
No, I am too shy. But I can't stop thinking about her
Tell her about it. Let her know now before she starts to date someone else
我爱上苏了
真的吗？
她日夜都萦绕在我脑海中
她知道你对她的感觉吗？
不知道。但我无法不想她
告诉她你的感觉吧。让她知道你很喜欢她。约她出去。
我很害羞。我爱上她了，我怎么办呢？我不可自拔地爱上她了
是真的吗？那你怎么迷恋她呢？
我不停地梦到她，她日夜萦绕在我心中。白天，我脑海中到处是她，晚上则梦魂梦魂牵绕。
她怎么会知道你在想什么呢？你能否告诉她，她要比巧克力雪糕更能吸引你？你会告诉她吗？
不了，我太害羞了。但是我无法不想她。
告诉她真相吧。在她要约会他人之前让她知道吧。

When are you getting married?
My wedding is in two months. We will send out the invitations next week
Surprise! Surprise! I am glad to hear it. Congratulations! You will make a wonderful couple.
Do you think I am ready to get married?
Why do you ask?
I feel nervous. Many of my friends are divorced. I don't want to make a mistake. I am afraid my marriage will also end in divorce
Do you love Jane?
Of course, I do
Do you want to marry Jane?
I am dying to marry her. In my heart of hearts I love her very much
You and Jane have a lot in common. But I am glad you are a little nervous. If you weren't nervous, I would think that you didn't really understand what you are doing. Don't chicken out at the last minute. Marrying Jane will be the best and most important thing you will ever do.

Why are you spending so much time watching TV?
I want to
You should spend some time talking to me. Don't be a couch potato. Let's go for a walk. While we are walking, we can talk
I would rather watch TV. To be honest with you, our honeymoon is over
You are just kidding. You are just kidding?
To tell you the truth, our honeymoon is over.
Can't we stay on our honeymoon? Can't we enjoy each other more and more?
Perhaps we can, if we are both willing to try hard. If we do new things together like we used to, we will have more things in common. In fact, I love you very much
What do you love about me? I need you to tell me
I love your beautiful hairstyle and your lovely smiles. I love how you twirl and dance and your taste in romance. I love the deep thoughts in your head and your delicious banana bread. I love the humour in your talk and your slow jiggle as you walk. I love your giggle when you say Wigwam pizza stop and how you love your mom and pop.
你为什么花那么多时间看电视呢？
因为我想
你应该花些时间和我聊天，不要老是躺在沙发上看电视。我们一起出去走走。一边走，一边聊。
我宁愿看电视。老实说，我们的蜜月期结束了
你是在开玩笑吧，是吗？
坦白讲，我们的蜜月期结束了
难道我们不能让蜜月期持续下去吗？难道我们不能爱对方越来越多吗？
也许可以，但需要我们两个都愿意努力去尝试。如果我们可以像以前那样一起去尝试新的东西，那我们就可以有更多的共同点。实际上，我是非常爱你的。
你爱我些什么呢？我需要你告诉我
我爱你美丽的秀发和迷人的微笑。我爱你的婆娑舞姿和你的浪漫气质。我爱你深邃的思想和你做美味的香蕉蛋糕。我爱你的幽默谈吐，爱你摇曳生姿的步伐。我爱你说“棚屋披萨店”时的叽叽笑声和你对父母的爱的方式。


Please sir, could you tell me the way to the Phoenix library?
Sorry Ms. I am new to this city. And to be honest, I am slightly lost myself. Do you know where the courthouse is?
Oh, let me think a few seconds
I am supposed to meet my fiancee at the courthouse to get our marriage license
Congratulations! That is wonderful! I love the commitment that is found in marriage. My sister Janice is getting married next week
Janice? My fiancee's name is Janice. Janice Wang
That's amazing. I know who you are. You are Juan and I am Ann. Janice's youngest sister
I thought I recognized your face
We talked on the internet last Christmas
I remember your smile on the computer screen. But you have changed your hairstyle
Right. It's much longer now
先生，去凤凰图书馆怎么走？
小姐，对不起。我也是刚到这个城市，坦白讲，我自己也有点迷路。你知道县政府大楼在哪吗？
嗯，让我想一想。
我要去市政大楼汇合我的未婚妻，去办理结婚证
恭喜！太好了！我喜欢在婚姻中两个人许下的承诺。我姐姐珍妮丝下星期也要结婚
珍妮丝？我未婚妻的名字就是珍妮丝，珍妮丝 王
太神奇了，我知道你是谁了。你是胡安，我是安，珍妮丝最小的妹妹
我认出你了
我们去年圣诞节在网上聊过
我还记得你在电脑屏幕上的笑容。但是你把发型改了
是的，现在长了很多


And you asked me what's the best software for learning Spanish
Yes. I did. Your advice was excellent
Thank you. Your sister has shown me a lot of your pictures. Your smile is even prettier in real life
Thank you. Now I understand why Janice says you are a charming gentleman
Does Janice talk about me?
She is always talking about you. And yesterday she showed all her girlfriends your baby pictures. Her girlfriends and I especially loved those pictures when you were two years old. You looked quite cute running around naked on the beaches in Puerto Rico
Oh, I think my ears are turning red. I am quite pleased to be marrying Janice. She and I have a lot in common. We always have fun together.
Janice does have a positive attitude. Ever since we were kids, I have been jealous of her sunny disposition
Yes, I really love that about her. I have never met anyone with a friendlier smile
That's true. And she's always patient. She has always quietly taught me by being a good example. She is excellent with children. When I was four, she taught me to read
Speaking of reading, isn't the Phoenix Library about six blocks north of here? Didn't I just drive by there a few minutes ago?
Yes, you did
你还问我学习西班牙语最好的软件是什么
是啊，我问过你。你的建议好极了
谢谢。你姐姐给我看了很多你的照片。你的笑容要比照片还漂亮
谢谢。现在我明白为什么珍妮丝说是个充满魅力的绅士
珍妮丝谈起过我吗？
她开口闭口都是你。昨天，她将你小时候的照片拿给她所有女性朋友看，我和她的朋友们特别喜欢你两岁时的照片。你光着身子在波多黎各的沙滩上跑，真的可爱极了
我的脸都红了。我非常高兴能和珍妮丝结婚。我们有很多共同点，我们在一起有很多乐趣
珍妮丝有积极的人生态度。我们还是小孩子的时候，我就妒忌她开朗的个性
是啊，我也非常爱她这种个性。我还没有遇到什么人有像她那样友善的笑容。
确实。她总是有耐性，她总是以身作则默默教导我。她对待小孩子非常好。我还是四岁的时候，她就教我看书
说起读书，凤凰图书馆是不是就在北面六个街区？我是不是几分钟前才驾车经过那里？
是的



And you are not really slightly lost, are you?
Not lost at all. But I saw your car's Florida license plates and recognized your face. I wanted to check you out and see if I was right
You are very observant
And I can be both sneaky and nosy. Sorry. That's jsut the way I am. You will get used to it. One block west of the library is the courthouse
That's right. Janice called and told me that last night. My memory is slipping
That's what happens when you have a wedding coming up
It's almost time for me to meet Janice
Well, I am glad to have met you in person, Juan
Thank you, Ann, for creating an opportunity to introduce yourself. It's been a delightful pleasure to meet you
Thank you
Now that I am no longer slightly lost, I would better get going
Janice said you are coming for supper tonight, so I will see you then
Sounds great! I am looking forward to meeting everyone
Have a nice day
You too. Bye
所以你并不是真的迷路了，对吗？
我根本没有迷路。我看到你的佛罗里达州车牌并认出你。我想看看我有没有认错人
你的观察力很强
而且我可以同时又鬼鬼祟祟又爱管闲事。对不起，我就是这个样子，你会习惯的。图书馆西面一个街区就是县市政大楼
那就是了，珍妮丝昨晚打电话告诉我在那里。我忘了。
一个人就快要结婚时，这种事情就经常发生
和珍妮丝碰面的时间就快到了
胡安，很高兴见到你本人
谢谢你借此机会介绍你自己。我很高兴见到你
谢谢
既然我已经不再搞不清方向，我就要行动了
珍妮丝说你今晚要来吃晚饭，那晚上见了
太好了。我期望到时见到每一个人
祝你今天顺利
你也是。再见
