地道美语听力练习:成为社交圈中耀眼的明星

Rosa:Has the mail come yet?

Grant:We didn't get any mail today.

Rosa:Damn it!

Grant:What's the matter?

Rosa:I'm waiting for an invitation from Joanna to her birthday party.

I heard that she's having a big bash and it's going to be the party of the season.

Grant:You're worked up over a party?

Rosa:It's not just any party.

It's the social event of the year.

Anyone who's anybody will be there.

If I don't get an invitation, it means I've been snubbed.

I'd never be able to live it down.

Grant:Who is Joanna anyway?

She's just another rich girl, right?

Rosa:No, she's not.

She's the most popular girl at school and the leader of the in-crowd.

If she so much as talks to you, you're in.

But if she gives you the cold shoulder, you're out.

You're nobody.

Grant:That's ridiculous.

She only has the power to do that because you all worship her.

One of these days, I hope somebody takes her down a peg.

Rosa:But nobody would dare to go against Joanna.

It would be the end of their social life.

Grant:So what?

Rosa:So what?! I should know better than to talk about it with a clueless guy!
