对话二
M: Susan, what happened to your arm?
男:苏珊,你的胳膊怎么了?
W: That's my wrist actually; I sprained it last weekend. And I'm kind of upset about it because I'm supposed to play the violin in my string quarter's big concert next week. We've been practicing for weeks and we've already sold a bunch of tickets.
女:是我的手腕,我上周末把手腕扭伤了。这让我有些心烦,因为我本来要在下周我所在的弦乐四重奏乐团的大型音乐会上垃小提琴的。
M: Uh... I'm sorry to hear that. What are you gonna do?
男:啊……我为你感到难过。那你要怎么办呢?
W: Well, I was thinking about trying to play anyway. I mean I really don't want to let the other three group members down. Plus the doctor said my wrist should be feeling better by then.
女:我还是想试着演奏。我真的不想让乐团里其他三个人失望。而且医生说到时候我的手腕应该会好多了。
M: Oh, OK, so, problem solved, right?
男:哦,好的,那么问题解决了,不是吗?
W: Not exactly. I'm worried that I'm gonna be out of practice, like I haven't been able to play the violin since I sprained my wrist. What if I don't play well? I'd make the rest of the group sound bad.
女:并没有完全解决。我担心我会荒于练习,就像我自从扭伤手腕之后从来没有拉过小提琴。如果我拉不好怎么办?我会让整个乐团的演奏听上去很糟糕。
M: Why don't you get somebody else to take your place?
男:你为什么不找其他人来顶替你呢?
W: Well, there is only one person I know who could do it, and that's Jim. He is a great violinist, and I'm sure he'd say yes. The thing is that he is not very reliable. I mean I'm in the orchestra with him and he is always showing up late for rehearsals.
女:我所认识的人当中可以顶替我的只有一个人,那就是吉姆。他是个很优秀的小提琴手,我相信他会同意。但问题是他并不是很靠谱。我和他在同一个管弦乐队,每次排练他总是迟到。
M: Oh, so you're not sure you can depend on him.
男:哦,那么你不能确定能不能指望他。
W: Exactly, and we have less than a week left to rehearse for the concert. We'd really need him to show up on time for all of our rehearsals.
女:对。我们为音乐会排练的时间剩下不到一周了。所以每次排练都需要他能按时到场。
M: I think you can have a conversation with him to tell him the urgent situation and I am sure he will know how to do.
男:我认为你可以和他谈一谈,告诉他情况的紧急,他肯定知道该怎么做。
W: OK, I will try my best.
女:好吧,我会尽力。
