(Music)

Emily和Peter正在約會，倆人聊到了電影，還有平時喜歡的消遣。

Professor: Winnie, we already know that both of them like going to movies in the theaters. Now let's listen to them talking about other ways to watch movies.

P: Did you do anything fun over the weekend?

E: I didn't want to go out last weekend, so I decided to stay at home and watch a movie.

P: Why didn't you want to go out?

E: I was very tired after working all week. Sometimes on the weekend I don't have enough energy to go out to a movie theater.

P: Did you download a movie or rent it at the store?

E: I downloaded it so that I didn't have to remember to return it.

Professor: So, Winnie, besides going to the movie theater, what are the two other ways to watch movies that Emily and Peter talked about?

兩個方法我都記下來了！一個是從商店里租電影看，另一個是直接從網(wǎng)上下載。

Professor: Right. And what's better about renting a movie by downloading it?

這個我有親身體會，下載電影不用記得去還！這么做的確很方便！

Professor: I agree, Winnie! Now let's listen to Peter talking about the other activity he really likes.

P: Last weekend I didn't want to go out either, so I stayed at home and played video games by myself. It was really fun!

E: Oh yeah, that sounds pretty cool, I guess ...

P: Yeah, I'm really into video games. In fact, all my friends are on the Internet. I've never met any of them in the real world.

E: Oh really ... well you must be very popular on the Internet. But it's true that it's nice to do some things in the comfort of your own home.

不會吧？Peter的朋友都是玩線上游戲時認識的網(wǎng)友？在Emily眼中，這好像不能加分呦！

Professor: I think you're right, Winnie. Emily didn't sound very impressed by Peter's being "into" video games. By the way, saying you're "into" something is a casual way of saying you really like it.

哦，所以，如果我對政治特別感興趣的話，就可以說"I'm really into politics"?

Professor: Exactly. I wonder if Emily is "into" guys who spend all their time playing video games. Let's listen and find out.

P: You're right. Watching movies at home is way cheaper than going to the theater, too. I like downloading movies too because it's easy and fast.

E: I agree. And it's very convenient.

P: Have you ever heard of a movie rental company called Netflix? They send the movies directly to your house in the mail.

E: Really? That's great! I'm going to try that next time.

P: Yeah, but I wish they delivered video games too. Then I would never leave my house!

Professor: Winnie, did you hear Peter say why he likes watching movies at home?

好像是他覺得在家看電影比去電影院便宜。可是，他說"way cheaper"是什么意思呢？

Professor: The word "way" can be slang for "very."

我明白了。前面加個way, w-a-y, 是為了加重語氣。那我可以說 "Peter is way into video games"！

Professor: That's it!

P: So Emily, do you still want to see a movie together this weekend?

E: Well, what do you want to see? I don't think there are many good movies out right now.

P: Hmmm ... I know! We can go to a really bad sci-fi movie and sit in the back of the theater and make fun of it. What do you think?

E: Now that's a great plan. It's a date!

大功告成！雖然Peter沉迷于網(wǎng)絡游戲，可Emily還是愿意繼續(xù)跟他約會，兩人準備去看最爛的sci-fi movie科幻片，然后一起嘲笑電影的粗制濫造！

Professor: That's right. When you say that a movie is "out," that means that it is playing in the theaters.

對?。∥姨貏e想看布拉德皮特的新片，but it won't be out until next month！So, professor Bowman, do you think Emily and Peter's next date will go well?

Professor: For that, Winnie, we'll have to tune in next time and find out!
