Telephonist: Good morning. Vane Theater, at your service.

Shirley: Hello. I'm thinking about watching a Chinese traditional opera with a foreign girl. What's on this weekend?

Telephonist: Well, there will be charity perfomp3ance on Saturday night. And also, there will be a solo concert by an opera star on Sunday night.

Shirley: It's a good thing that I have choices here. Can you tell me about the one on Saturday?

Telephonist: Sure. It's to raise money for the homeless.

Shirley: What about the perfomp3ance itself?

Telephonist: Oh, it's a reserved opera named “The Monkey Creates Havoc in Heaven”.

Shirley: Wow, a story about the clever Monkey King. It's a classic and children's favorite.

Telephonist: It surely is. And the cast is really the best.

Shirley: Wonderful! How much is the ticket?

Telephonist: The price varies according to the seats. 300 for the front, 200 for the middle, and 50 for the back. Which kind would you like?

Shirley: Two for the front. One last thing, are there any English subtitles for the show?

Telephonist: Yes, we have subtitles both in Chinese and English on the big-screen just beside the stage.

Shirley: Terrific. May I stop by to get that two tickets tomorrow afternoon?

Telephonist: Sure. And our theater is located on Liberty Avenue, just opposite the biggest guitar store. Can I have your name?

Shirley: Shirley. S-H-I-R-L-E-Y.

Telephonist: Got it. Thanks for calling. Bye.

雪莉:你好。我打算和一个外国女孩看一场中国的传统戏剧。这个周末上演什么剧?

接线员:嗯,周六晚上会有一场慈善演出,另外,周日晚上,有一位戏剧明星举办一场个人演唱会。

接线员:的确如此。而且这次演出阵容的确很强大。

雪莉:太好了!票价是多少呢?

接线员:票价根据座位的不同而有所不同。前排的300,中间的200,后排的50。您要哪种?

雪莉:两张前排的。还有一件事,这场演出会配有英文字幕吗?

接线员:有的,舞台旁边的大屏幕上会同时呈现中文和英文字幕。
