大忙人学社交英语口语3-1 长对话：谈论高尔夫球赛事（中英+mp3和文本下载）

Jane: Good game?

Jane:比赛还好吗?

Bob: Not bad. Bit too hot for me today.

Bob:还不错。我觉得今天太热了。

Jane: Yes, I know. Kind of hard to concentrate, isn't it?

Jane:是啊，我知道。有点难以定下心来，对吧?

Bob: Absolutely. Who were you playing with?

Bob:没错。你跟谁一起打球?

Jane: Oh, just on my own. I just joined, so I don't really have any partners.

Jane:噢，我自己打。因为我才刚加入，所以我连个球伴都没有。

Bob: Really? Oh, well in that case we should play together some time. What's your handicap?

Bob:真的吗?噢，要是这样的话，我们应该找个时间一起打。你的差点是多少?

Jane: 16. Yours?

Jane:16。你呢?

Bob: No kidding! I'm 16, too. We should definitely play together some time. My name's Bob.

Bob:不盖你!我也是16。我们一定要找个时间一起打球。我是Bob.

Jane: Jane. Nice to meet you.

Jane:我是Jane，很高兴认识你。

Bob: Me too. So, do you like the course?

Bob:我也是。对了，你喜欢这个球场吗?

Jane: Yes, it's fine. However, I personally think the fairways between the greens are a bit too long, especially for such a hot climate. Don't they have carts?

Jane:喜欢，还不错。不过，我个人觉得果岭间的球道太长了，点，尤其天气又这么热。他们没有球车吗?

Bob: Well, they used to, but they got rid of them because of environmental concerns.

Bob:哦，以前有，可是后来基于环保的理由就不用了。

Jane: Oh, that's good. I guess the caddies were pleased.

Jane:嗅，那很好。我猜球童会很开心。

Bob: Actually, in my opinion, the carts were better because you don't have to tip them.

Bob:其实我觉得有球车比较好，因为你不必给小费。

Jane: Yes, but look at it this way: getting rid of the carts probably gives more work to local people, which is a good thing, right?

Jane:是啊，可是换个角度来看，不用球车或许可以增加本地人的就业机会，这也是好事一桩，对吧?

Bob: Possibly, but I still miss them! What bothers me is that the heat makes the caddies' life quite hard. One member's caddy fainted last week!

Bob:也许吧，可是我还别食坏念球车!我担心酷暑会使球童的日子变得很难过。上星期就有一位球员的球童昏倒了!

Jane: How awful, poor guy.

Jane:太惨了，真可怜。

Bob: Right. Luckily it was on the eighteen hole, quite near the clubhouse, so he didn't have far to carry him.

Bob:的确。所幸那是在18洞，距离会馆很近，所以他不用背很远。

Jane: Oh, my God, you're kidding me! He carried him back?

Jane:噢，天啊，你是在开玩笑吧!他背球童回去?

Bob: Yup.

Bob:是啊。
