新視野大學(xué)英語視聽說教程第一冊 Unit 7 Let’s Talk

Jack: There certainly are a lot of CDs on sale here today. I hope the new Linkin Park is on sale. What were you thinking of picking up?

Jane: Well, you know me, Jack. I love classic music. I was thinking of either the Beatles or Elvis’ “Greatest Hits.”

Jack: Jane, when are you going to get with the times? Classic Rock is not classic; it’s just old.

Jane: Yes, well, Pop Rock all sounds the same to me. For me, the Classic Rock really stands out. It’s what started it all.

Jack: It’s also been played a million times. Don’t you get tired of it?

Jane: No, never. Oh, there’s a salesperson; let’s ask him what they have on sale.

Salesman: Can I help you?

Jack: Yes, my friend and I were looking for some CDs. We were hoping they would be on sale. My friend is looking for some older selections like the Beatles or Elvis’ “Greatest Hits.” I was really hoping you’d have the new Linkin Park on sale, but if not, I’m also looking for Nickelback.

Salesman: Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that all of the CDs you have asked for are on sale. The bad news is we have just sold out of Elvis’ “Greatest Hits”, but we can order one for you.

Jane: (to her friend) Sold out of Elvis! That must mean he’s pretty popular. (to the salesman) You need to order it in? How does that work?

Salesman: Well, if you give me your telephone number, when we get it, one of our staff will give you a call. Then you can some and pick it up. It shouldn’t be more than a week.

Jane: Okay, well, I’ll take the Beatles CD right now, and you can order the Elvis for me. I’ll give you my phone number.

Jack: And I will take the new Linkin Park for now. I’m afraid I only have enough for one CD.

Salesman: The sale lasts till the end of the month. In the meantime, I’ll get your CDs for you, and I’ll take down your number for that Elvis order. Boy, he’s always a popular seller!

Jane: I know!
