英语口语情景对话

A: Today I had my first English class

B: How was it?

A: It was interesting. The teacher gave us three ways to help ourselves learn the language. First, stop talking anything except English. Then learn many complete sentences by heart. Finally, have American friends tell us how they saythings we have trouble with, and always imitate them.

译文：

A：今天我上了第一堂英语课。

B：课上得怎样?

A：很在意思。老师告诉我们有三种方法可帮助我们学习语言。首先,除英语外不要用其他语言谈话。其次.背下大量完整的句子。最后请美国朋友告诉我们，我们在口语中感到困难的那些句子，他们是怎样表达的,并且要一直模仿他们。

A: Tell me about your English class, Mary.

B: Well, yesterday the teacher wro-te some sentences on the board. The first was "if you can't produce the sounds of a langua-ge acceptable, then you can't really hear them when other people make them". Next he worte, "if you can't hearthe sounds of a language then you probably can't write the language well. Your inadequate pronunciation contributes to making your writing substandard."

A: Do you think that's right?

B: I don't know, Bob. I'll tell you when the course is over.

Substandasd--unacceptable, inferior

A：玛丽，给我说说你们英语课。

B：好吧，昨天老师在黑板上写了一些句子。第一句话是"对于一种语言如果你不能正确地发音,那么当别人发这些音时你实际上不可能听懂。"然后他又写道“如果你听不懂一种语言的发音，你大概也不可能很好地书写这种语言。你的不合格的发音将导致你的书写也不能令人满意。”

A：你认为这对吗?

B：我不知道，鲍勃。等这门课结束时我会告诉你的。

A: Ralph, do me a favor, will you?

B: That all depends on what it is.

A: This is the proble, I'm still having trouble with my English. The instructor suggests that I ask an American to help me by telling me how he says the things I say which just aren't English. I wanted you to be the American.

B: What good'll it do? You never speak English unless you absolutely have to. I'll help you if you promise to speak noting but English all the time.

A: All right. Maybe I'll do that. It's the only way I'll be able to learn English fast enough, I guess.

A：拉尔夫，帮我一个忙，好吗?

B：这要看帮什么忙。

A：我有个困难。我的英语仍然遇到麻烦。老师建议我请一位美国人帮助，要他告诉我，我说的那些根本不像英语的话应当怎样说。我想要你做这个美国人。

B：这有什么用?你除了非说不可的时候，你从来不说英语。好吧!我跟你达成一个协议：如果你保证在任何时候除了英语外什么也不说，我就帮助你。

A：好吧，也许我能办得到。我想这是我能迅速学会英语的唯一方法。

A: And then we went to a dance after dinner, and after the third dance she tells me that she's practically engaged to some G.I. who's overseas.

B: So?

A: What d'ya mean “so”? You don't accept dates if you're practically engaged.

B: Why not? You only asked her for a date, not for her hand in marriage. There's nothing wrong in going out with a friend from the office.

A: I know, but it makes me mad. They're all engaged, and they never tell you before you ask them out.

A：那样，晚饭后我们去跳舞，跳完第三只舞她告诉我，其实她已经同一位海外的大兵订婚了。

B：这没什么。

A：你说“这没什么”是什么意思?既然你已订婚，就不应再接受约会。

B：为什么不可以?你只不过是请她赴约会，又不是向她求婚，同办公室的一位朋友出去玩玩并没有什么不对。

A：我知道，不过这使我很恼火。她们都订婚了，而如果你不问她们，她们从不告诉你。
