— That one over there, next to the bread rolls. — That’s a beef salad, sir.

— Thank you. Is there any rye bread? — No, I’m sorry. There are plenty of rolls. —先生，我有什么能帮你的吗？ —我们想吃点饭。

B.Restaurant English Dialogue 1:

Man: Three gin and tonics please.

Waitress: I’m sorry, sir, but we’ve not allowed to serve drinks before twelve o’clock midday. Would you like me to bring you something else? Some coffee? 男：请给我三杯杜松子酒奎宁水。

服务生：对不起先生，在中午十二点之前不允许提供白酒。您想让我给您拿点别的东西吗？比如一些咖啡？

Dialogue 2:

Man: Waiter, this table-cloth is a disgrace. It’s covered with soup stains.

Waiter: Oh, I’m so sorry, sir. It should have been changed before. If you’ll just wait one moment ...

男：服务生，这个桌布太给你们丢脸了！它上面净是汤渍。

服务生：哦，对不起先生。它早就应该被换掉的。如果您可以等一会…

Dialogue 3:

Man: Waiter. I can’t quite understand how you manage to get ten marks plus twelve marks

plus sixty-five marks fifty pennies to add up to one hundred and seventy-seven marks fifty pennies.

Waiter: One moment, I’ll just check it, sir. You’re quite right, sir. I can’t understand how such a mistake could have been made. I do apologize, sir. 男：服务生！我不能理解你是怎么把十马克加上十二马克加上六十五马克五十便士算成一百七十七马克五十便士的。

服务生：先生，请您等一下，我马上就检查一遍。先生，您是对的。我也不明白是怎么犯的这种错误。先生，我为这个错误道歉。

Section Two:

A. Discussing Past Events:

Interviewer: Now let’s go back to your first novel, Rag Doll. When did you write that? Writer: Rag Doll, yes. I wrote that in 1960, a year after I left school. Interviewer: How old were you then?

Writer: Um, eighteen? Yes, eighteen, because a year later I went to Indonesia.

Interviewer: Mm. And of course it was your experience in Indonesia that inspired your film Eastern Moon.

Writer: Yes, that’s right, although I didn’t actually make Eastern Moon until 1978. Interviewer: And you worked in television for a time too.

Writer: Yes, I started making documentaries for television in 1973, when I was thirty. That was after I gave up farming. Interviewer: Farming?

Writer: Yes, that’s right. You see, I stayed in Indonesia for eight years. I met my wife there in 1965, and after we came back we bought a farm in the West of England, in 1970. A kind of experiment, really.

Interviewer: But you gave it up three years later.

Writer: Well, yes. You see it was very hard work, and I was also very busy working on my second novel, The Cold Earth, which came out in 1975. Interviewer: Yes, that was a best-seller, wasn’t it?

Writer: Yes, it was, and that’s why only two years after that I was able to give up television work and concentrate on films and that sort of thing. And after that...

记者：现在让我们回到您的第一本小说，《Rag Doll》。您是什么时候写的它呢？ 作者：《Rag Doll》。我在1960年写的，也就是我离开学校一年后。 记者：您那时多大？

作者：嗯…十八岁？嗯！十八岁，因为一年之后我去了印度尼西亚。

记者：嗯。所以也正是您在印度尼西亚的经历给了你《东方的月亮》这部电影的灵感。 作者：是啊，尽管直到1978年，我才真正完成《东方的月亮》这部作品。 记者：那时您也在电视台工作。

作者：是啊，我从1973年开始为电视台制作纪录片，那是我30岁。那是我放弃管理农场之后。

记者：农场？ 作者：嗯对。你知道，我在印尼待了八年。1965年我在那遇见了我的妻子，并且我们在1970年回来后，就在英格兰的西边买了一块农田。那是一次试验。 记者：但是三年之后您还是放弃了它。

作者：呃，是的。你知道种田是件非常艰苦的工作，并且，我当时也忙于编写我的第二部小说《寒冷的地球》，它在1975年出版的。

记者：嗯是的，它是卖的最好的一本小说，不是吗？

作者：是啊，这也是我能在两年之后辞掉电台工作并且专心于电影和相关工作的原因。并且在此之后…

B. Telephone Conversation:

Shop Assistant: Harling’s Hardware.

Dictation.

47 Riverside Road, London SE1 4LP. 10th May, 1989 Dear Chris,

Thanks for your letter. I’m sorry I haven’t answered it sooner but writing is difficult at the moment. I fell off my bike last week and broke my arm. It isn’t anything very serious and I’ll be OK in a few weeks.

Your holiday sounds fantastic. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Someone at work went to Jamaica last year and had a wonderful time. When are you going exactly? I hope you’ll have good weather.

There isn’t really much more news from here. I’ll write a longer letter in a few weeks. Send me a postcard and give my regards to everyone. Yours Kim..

1989年，五月十日，河边街47号 邮编SE1 4LP 亲爱的查理斯：

谢谢你的来信，非常抱歉我没能及时回信，现在写信也是很困难。我上个星期从车子上掉下来弄伤了我的胳膊。这并不是什么严重的事情，我几个星期后就会好了。

你的假期听起来不错，我确定你会很享受它。有些已经工作的人去年去了牙买加并且在那里度过了一段美好的时光。你具体什么时候去？我希望你去的时候天气很好。

这里可真没有什么太多的新闻，我将会在以后几个星期写一封更长的信，给我寄一张明信片，并且为所有人带去我的祝福。

你的 金
