Part3 Fall in Love on the Internet? 网络恋情
Dialogue Script 1 对话原文1
Jack: Hi, Susan. Are you finished teaching for the day?
Susan: Yes, I'm going home and getting on the Net.
Jack: Really? You use the Internet?
Susan: Yes, I do research for my piano lessons.
Jack: There's information about music on the Internet?
Susan: Yes, but there's not the only reason I use the Net.
Jack: So what's the other reason, to meet a guy?
Susan: No, it's to understand my students. They all use the Internet.
Jack: So why don't you take full advantage of the Internet?
Susan: What do you mean?
Jack: All you think about is your students and music!
Susan: That's my job. I love my job!
Jack: But there's so much more to life than a job, Susan.
Susan: You're talking about men again.
Jack: You guessed it.
Susan: I'm not interested!
Jack: A lot of women like you meet nice men in chat rooms.
Susan: You mean where you can talk with people one-on-one?
Jack: Sure! Lots of people do it.
Susan: Use a computer to find friends? I don't know. It's not for me.
讲解:
1. Susan是一位钢琴教师,在业余时间会在网上找一些关于音乐教学的资料。她说I do research for my piano lessons. do research for something 为某事做调查。
2. 但是她的朋友Jack却劝她更好的利用互联网。take full advantage of 充分利用某物,advantage在这里是好处的意思,但是take advantage of someone 却是占某人便宜,侵犯某人权利的意思,例如:He took advantage of that girl. 他侮辱了那个女孩。
3. Susan 很爱自己的工作,但是there's so much more to life than a job 除了生活之外还有更多事情,这里Jack指的就是爱情。
4. You guessed it. 你猜对了。也可以说You got it.
5. A lot of women like you meet nice men in chat rooms. 很多象你这样的女人都在网上聊天室里碰到了不错的男人。chat room聊天室。
6. talk with people one-on-one 跟人一对一地谈话。
7. 但是Susan还是有些犹豫,她说I don't know. It's not for me. 我不知道,那可不适合我。这里I don't know.相当于I'm not sure. It's not for me 不适合我,可以用在别人劝你接受一样东西,而你不愿意的时候,这样说比较委婉。
