华尔街中级英语学习教程第8课：意外事故Act1 (MP3和文本下载)

JOHN: Oh, gee! It looks like I've finished all the booze. Hey, what’s this?

JOHN: Gosh, it's a radio! I wonder if it's got any batteries in it?

DJ: And this week's Number 1, all across the nation, is, of course, Nervous Equipment, with “Suicide Jive”!

JOHN: Nervous Equipment, at No.1? That's amazing! I know, I’ll go and see them! They’re certain to remember me! Maybe they’ll give me a job…

JOHN: Hello! Hello! Are Nervous Equipment in there?

TERRY: Yeah? What do you want?

JOHN: Sorry to bother you. I just thought I’d come over to, like, say “hi”, that's all. Er.. can I come in, please?

DUDU: It's alright, Terry, you can let him in.

JOHN: What about the dog?

TERRY: Down Wart, down! Down! OK, you can come in now.

JOHN: Well, hello.

DUDU: Hello.

SASA: Hello.

JOHN: So you're at Number 1 now?

SASA: Right.

DUDU: Right.

JOHN: That's great!

SASA: Yeah.

JOHN: Gee, I'm sorry about what happened that evening we went to New Camford. Like, I tried - I did my best, really! It wouldn't happen now, would it, if we went there again? They'd listen to us this time, wouldn't they? Not that I'd want to go there again, of course. Anyway, I mean, at least you played; your music was heard, wasn't it? You never know, maybe it even helped you to get to No.1! Well, maybe not. Look, I'm just asking you to give me a chance. There must be something I can do for you. Do you need someone to clean your van?

SASA: Hey Dudu, when's that plane?

DUDU: In about a couple of hours.

SASA: What about our equipment?

DUDU: It's all been looked after, hasn't it, Terry?

TERRY: That's right. All the equipment, and all your luggage have been sent on. It'll be there when you arrive.

SASA: So why don’t we, like, go to the airport?

TERRY: Yeah, I think we should.

JOHN: Where are you going, if you don’t mind me asking?

SASA: We're going to Trinidad for a music festival.

JOHN: Oh! I see! It must be a wonderful place!

DUDU: Do you want to come too?

JOHN: Can I?

DUDU: It doesn't make any difference to me.

JOHN: That's really kind of you!

DUDU: Alright by you, Sasa?

SASA: I don't care.

DUDU: OK, let's go, then.

SASA: Right.

JOHN: Right!

MUSICIAN: Got a light, mate?

HARRY: No, I don't smoke! Anyway, you're not allowed to smoke here. These seats are for non-smokers, look!

MUSICIAN: Oh, yeah. You got a light?

MUSICIAN: Yeah, I’ve got a light.

HARRY: Look, would you mind not smoking, please? You're not allowed to smoke here.

MUSICIAN: Take it easy, man. You're making me nervous!

HARRY: I'm going to call the stewardess!

MUSICIAN: Make my day, Adolf!

STEWARDESS: Did one of you gentlemen call?

MUSICIAN: Yeah, get me a bottle of Chanel No.5, and a Gucci headscarf, please!

STEWARDESS: Certainly, sir.

HARRY: Hey, wait a moment!

STEWARDESS: I'll come back for your order, sir.

HARRY: I’m going to look for another seat. Excuse me…

PILOT: …. and we have now reached our maximum cruising height of 10,000 meters.

JOHN: 10,000 meters! Gosh! That's terribly high, isn't it? That must be… let me just work it out ….

JOHN: … about 15,000 miles. Wonderful things, these personal organizers, aren't they? I've just been given this one. My Mom gave it me for my birthday, to help me with my business career. Have you got one?

HARRY: No.

JOHN: It's fantastic. Look, it hasn’t even got a keyboard; you just touch the screen with this, like, pen-type thing. And every time you touch the screen it makes a little sound.

JOHN: Would you like to try it?

HARRY: No, it's alright, thanks. I think I'll go and sit somewhere else.

HARRY: Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?

TERRY: What does it look like?

HARRY: I'll sit here then, if you don't mind.

TERRY: You don't mind if this gentleman sits here, do you, Wart?

SASA: Here's our stuff, then.

JOHN: What a lot there is! There's far more than there was at New Camford, isn't there?

SASA: Yeah. Well, there's a truck waiting outside.

DUDU: Right. You can, like, get the stuff on to it, right?

SASA: Right.

JOHN: Alright.

DUDU: And then, like, get it off at the other end, and sort of set it up, OK?

JOHN: Do what?

DUDU: Set it up - get everything ready for the show, you know.

SASA: Come on, Dudu. Let's go to the hotel.

DUDU: Right. See you.

JOHN: See you!
