A:我們來(lái)玩?zhèn)€小游戲,怎么樣?我形容一個(gè)人的長(zhǎng)相你來(lái)猜是誰(shuí)。
A: Let’s play a little game. I’ll describe someone and you try and guess who it is.
B:好的。我現(xiàn)在正無(wú)聊呢。
B: OK. I’m really bored at the moment!
A:這個(gè)人是瘦高個(gè)兒,有一雙藍(lán)色的眼睛和一頭棕色的卷發(fā)。
A: OK, This man is tall and slim. He’s got blue eyes and curly brown hair.
B:他有胡須嗎?
B: Does he have moustache or a beard?
A:?jiǎn)柕煤谩K淖焐嫌泻?,不過(guò)沒(méi)有絡(luò)腮胡。
A: Good question. Yes, he has a moustache, but no beard.
B:好像是邁克,對(duì)嗎?
B: Sounds like Mike. Is it?
A:對(duì)。你來(lái)描述一個(gè)人,我們倆都知道的。
A: Yes, it is. You describe someone we both know.
B:好吧。她不高,很胖。她長(zhǎng)著一頭金色的頭發(fā),但我不知道她眼睛的顏色。
B: Right. She’s not very tall and she’s quite plump. She’s got blonde hair, but I don’t know what colour her eyes are.
A:她漂亮嗎?我好像不認(rèn)識(shí)這樣一個(gè)人。
A: Is she attractive? I don’t think I know anyone like that.
B:啊,我不認(rèn)為她很漂亮,不過(guò)我肯定你不會(huì)同意我的看法。
B: Well, I don’t find her attractive, but I’m sure you would disagree.
A:我喜歡苗條的女孩,指所以我懷疑自己會(huì)認(rèn)為一個(gè)胖乎乎的女孩迷人。你得告訴我更多的情況。
A: I like slim girls, so I doubt I would find a plump girl attractive. You’ll have to give me some more information.
B:她的腳很小,穿著一雙過(guò)時(shí)的鞋子。實(shí)際上,她的衣服也過(guò)時(shí)了。
B: She’s got tiny feet and wears really unfashionable shoes. In fact, she wears unfashionable clothes too.
A:聽(tīng)起來(lái)好像我不認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)人。我放棄了。告訴我她是誰(shuí)。
A: This doesn’t sound like anyone I know. I give up. Tell me who she is.
B:就是你的媽媽。
B: She’s your mother!
A:真不好意思,我竟然沒(méi)有認(rèn)出我自己的媽媽?zhuān)∧阌X(jué)得外貌對(duì)一個(gè)人有多重要?
A: How embarrassing! I don’t even recognise a description of my own mother! How important do you think appearance is?
B:很不幸,一個(gè)人的外貌比性格更重要。廣告上說(shuō)我們的外貌必須要能吸引人。我覺(jué)得這種看法是錯(cuò)誤的,但現(xiàn)在的世界就是這樣。
B: I think that unfortunately it’s more important than a person’s character. Advertising and stuff tells us that we have to be attractive. I think it’s wrong, but that’s the way the world is now.
A:我認(rèn)為你是對(duì)的。我選擇我的女友就是因?yàn)樗男愿窈谩?br />
A: I’m afraid you’re right. I chose my girlfriend because she has a wonderful personality.
B:當(dāng)然,如果光看外貌,你肯定不選她!喂,我是開(kāi)玩笑的,別打我。
B: Well, you certainly didn’t choose her because of her looks! Hey, I was joking! Don’t hit me!
