情景对话
A: Let's go to the dining hall and have dinner. I'm hungry.
B: You don't know!
A: Know what?
B: The Student Union has organized a canteen boycott.
A:How come?
B: Well, don't you think the dining hall deserves it? It's the worst ever.
A: Yes, this dining hall serves bad food; they have raised the price; every dish costs four or five yuan. But the food there still tastes like garbage. It is interested in makingmoney rather than serving good and inexpensive foods for us students.
B: And they never deal with our complaints. I hear that nearly 2,000 students have signed a petition showing our dissatisfaction with the food, price and service.
A: Do you think it will work?
B: Many hands make light work. I think this could force them to improve a little.
A: I hope so.
参考译文
A:去食堂吃饭吧，我肚子饿了。
B:你还不知道啊!
A:知道什么?
B:学生会正在组织罢餐呢!
A:为什么?
B:难道你不觉得食堂很差，应该被罢餐吗!这是我见过的差的食堂。
A:这倒是.饭菜又差，价格又贵.每盘菜都要四五元钱，吃起来味道还很差。食堂只关注赚钱。而不是为学生提供物美价廉的食物.
B:而且食堂方面对学生的抱怨从来都是置之不理的。我听说有近两千名学生签字，表达对食堂的食物、价格、服务的不满。
A:你觉得这样做会有效果吗?
B:众人拾柴火焰高，我想罢餐能迫使他们做出稍许的改进。
A:希望如此。
