4.1 Agreement 贊成

W: Eric, how long will you be in China?

M: I don't know. Well, my contract here is for one year, and I don't know what I should do after that. Maybe going around for a while.

W: Well, have you ever thought about learning some Chinese?

M: Actually, I am learning that now. But it's too hard for me. You know the four tones and the stuff. It really freaks me out.

W: Don't worry. All things are difficult before they are easy.

M: You hit the nail right on the head.

W: Well, are you intested in some language-exchange program?

M: What is it?

W: It's where I teach you Chinese, and in exchange you teach me English.

M: Awesome. I've been giving this a lot of thought. When can we do this?

W: How about this sunday?

M: Ok, cool.

W: Good. I'll give you a call tonight.

M: No problem.

W: Bye.

譯：

W：Eric，你要在中國呆多久？

M：不知道，我在這里的合同是一年的，我也不知道之后該干點什么，也許會四處走走。

W：有沒有想過學點漢語？

M：事實上，我正在學，但對我來說那太難了。你知道四聲那些東西，真夠煩的。

W：別擔心，萬事開頭難嘛。

M：你說得有道理。

W：你有興趣參加語言交換活動嗎？

M：什么意思？

W：在這個活動中，我教你漢語然后你教我英語。

M：太好了，我一直在想這個問題，什么時候開始？

W：星期天怎么樣？

M：好啊。

W：好，我今晚給你打電話。

M：沒問題。

W：再見。

注釋：

句子“All things are difficult before they are easy.”和“You hit the nail right on the head.”都是英語諺語。前一句的意思是“萬事開頭難。”；后一句的意思是“你說到點子上了。”，完全可以把它和“You hit the point.”這句話一起理解。
