聊天常用英语口语第38期:Living in the Dorm 宿舍生活

T: Hi, Michael, how's it going?
M: well, things are all right.
T: I heard you got a new roommate. What's he like?
M: yeah, Bob moved in last week. He is a nice guy and so far everything is cool except this girlfriend.
T: oh? What's wrong with his girlfriend?
M: she came over last weekend. She is a nice girl but there's something about her voice that really creeps me out. I tried to smile and be polite, but the whole time all I could think was "what's wrong with your voice?"
T: well, I guess it might take some time to get used to.
M: I doubt it. Last time was an oral train wreck. Listening to her talk is like chewing tin foil.
T: oh come on, it can't be that bad.
M: no, it's much worse. And tonight they invited me out to dinner. I really have no idea how I'm going to pull it off.
T: rough. Maybe you can do most of the talking.
M: that's the plan.
T: good luck.
