Dialogue Script 2 对话原文 2

(They have just come out of Sacre Coeur)

Mark: (Yawns) Well, I thought that was going to be much more interesting.
Tina: Well, it's one of the newer churches. I bet you will like the stained glass in some of the others.
Mark: Too bad Marie had to work today. I bet she'd know a great place to grab lunch.
Tina: Before we eat, can we climb up to the top? We'll get a great view.
Mark: Climb? Why don't we just take a picture here and tell people we climbed.
Tina: Well, I'm going even if you don't.
Mark: OK, but I was serious about that picture.

…

Mark: Pardones-moi! (points to camera) You...us...a...photograph? Merci.
Woman: Your English is almost as bad as your French.
Mark: Oh, hah, you speak English. Could you take a picture of us?
Woman: Mais oui, but where do I press the button?
Mark: Right here. And can you make sure you get the church in behind us?
Woman: You need to move a little to the right...and voila. Now, say "cheese!"
Mark: (To Tina as woman walks away) Boy. Parisians are so friendly.

讲解：

1. 对话中Tina和Mark参观完圣心堂，在拍照留念。Mark觉得这个地方没什么意思，Tina说这还是最新式的教堂之一了。也许Mark会喜欢其他教堂的彩绘玻璃。stained glass就是“彩绘玻璃”。

2. I bet...这个用法表示“我敢说…”，常用在朋友之间的对话，一副笃定的语气说对方一定想怎么样，要是猜中了当然是可喜可贺，但是要是猜错了，也别觉得丢脸，反正是朋友嘛，说说笑笑又何妨呢？我们用一个对话来做例子，---I bet you want to come out to dinner with me tonight. ---Actually, I have other plans. ---我敢说你今晚想和我出来共进晚餐。---事实上，我有别的计划了。

3. Mark说太可惜了，他们的法国朋友Marie今天要工作，她一定知道吃午餐的好地方。grab lunch 就是指“吃午餐”，是比较随意的口语化说法，类似的用法还有grab a bite，表示“吃点东西，吃点零食”。Tina建议爬到圣心堂上面，这样可以看到很棒的风景，Mark一点也不感兴趣，问可不可以在外面拍张照片，然后告诉别人我们已经上去过了呢？

4. Tina可不管他，就算Mark不愿意上去，她也要自己上去。Mark无可奈何，只好陪Tina爬上去，不过他刚才说拍照可是认真的。他们从圣心堂下来后，Mark就招手拦住一位法国人帮他们拍照，还用他蹩脚的法语跟人家沟通。

5. 法语英语一块上了，Pardones-moi! (points to camera) You...us...a...photograph? Merci. Pardones-moi! 表示“不好意思”，相当于英语中的Excuse me。 Merci的意思是“谢谢”。还好那个法国人会说英语，要不然真的被他搞糊涂了。这个法国人还取笑Mark说，他的法语和英语一样差。

6. 法国人的说法是“Parisian”。这个法国人挺热情的，说Mais oui，相当于OK, sure. 意思就是“没问题”。Mark希望她能把教堂也拍进去。Mark他们再往右挪一点，就好了，...and voila这句话来自法语，意思是“好了”，是用来要人看某样东西或改变时的发语词。...and voila是用在“看着”某件事完成的时候，表示“看，这样就好了”。下次看着某件事做好了的时候，别忘了用...and voila这个表达方式。比如说，---Just put this program on your computer. --- ...and voila, the problem will be solved? ---只要把这个程序安装到你的电脑上就好了。---装好了，这样问题就解决了吗？

Dialogue Script 3 对话原文 3

Marie: This is Le Petit Saint Benoit. It has been open for over a hundred years.
Mark: It seems so French. Ooh, tell me, Marie. Where are we going tonight?
Marie: Ah, but you are a party boy! I thought we could go to a local café.
Mark: Just a café? Can't we go to a high class club or something?
Marie: Oh, Mark. To get into such places, you must be much better dressed than we are.
Mark: Well, tomorrow we shop, and then, tomorrow night, we dance.
Marie: Pas de problem. And tonight, Tina, we boy-watch at the café.

讲解：

1. 对话中Tina和Mark跟Marie碰面一起吃晚饭。他们来到了一家有百年历史的餐厅，Le Petit Saint Benoit 小圣贝诺餐厅，真的很有法国的感觉，It seems so French. 我们也可以模仿说It seems so Chinese.很有中国的味道，只要用国家的形容词形式就行了。

2. Mark对吃饭并不感兴趣，他想知道晚上他们去哪里happy。Marie说Mark是一个热衷夜生活的人，a party boy，这是一个俚语，我们当然也可以说a party girl。Marie建议大家晚上去一家本地的咖啡馆。

3. Mark一听就失望了，只是去一家咖啡馆阿，多没劲，就不能去高级俱乐部之类的地方吗？Marie说，如果要去这些地方，可是要打扮得很漂亮才行。Mark一听就有精神了，本来很讨厌购物的他打算明天就去逛街购物买衣服，晚上就可以去跳舞了。

4. Pas de problem. 没问题，相当于No problem. 那么今晚呢？Marie 和Tina打算去咖啡厅看帅哥，boy-watch，其实就是watch boys，也就是“看帅哥”的意思，当然“看美女”就是girl-watch了。

Dialogue Script 4 对话原文 4

Mark: Oh, I think I drank too much last night!
Tina: I warned you. Time to get going, sleepyhead. We have a busy day today.
Mark: We're going shopping today?
Tina: Actually, no. Marie said she needs to work late tonight, so I thought we'd focus on sightseeing today.
Mark: You're not my friend.
Tina: Hah. Trust me, Mark. You will have a good time today.
Mark: Sure I will.

…

(The two start at the catacombs)

Tina: Now, aren't you glad I talked you into wearing walking shoes?
Mark: Yes, I am. Ah! Oh my god! This place is full of skulls.
Tina: The rest of the skeletons are here, too. This is, in a way, Paris' grand cemetery.
Mark: This is also, in a way, very creepy.
Tina: There are hundreds of years of dead people in there.
Mark: Hmm. Think we should take one of these skulls with us? It would make a great souvenir.

讲解：

1. 对话中，Tina和Mark又来到了地下墓穴，地下通道，catacomb。昨天晚上Mark喝酒喝多了，早上起来头疼。Tina催促他，Time to get going. 该走了！这句话的意思其实就是和Time to go.是一样的，告诉别人该走了，或是到了出发的时间，就可以用这句话，轻松地提醒一下，比如说，---It's time to get going. ---I'll be ready in a minute. ---该走了。---一分钟就好。

2. sleepyhead就是指“贪睡的人”。Mark还以为今天大家要一起去逛街，但是Marie今晚还要工作到很晚，所以今天他们主要还是观光。focus on 表示“集中在...”，比如说，I'm so tired I can't focus on anything today. 今天我太累了，精神集中不起来。还有focus sth on sth，将…集中于…，比如说，Focus your minds on the following problem. 请集中考虑以下问题。

3. Mark一听今天又是景点观光，就不高兴了，还赌气说Tina真不够朋友。Tina只好哄他说，今天一定会让他高兴的。他们来到了地下墓穴，多亏Tina劝Mark穿上了运动鞋，要不然会被累死的。talk sb into doing sth这句话表示“说服某人做某事”，He talked his father into buying him a new car. 他说服他的父亲给他买一辆新车。

4. 那么有talk sb into doing sth，就会有talk sb out of doing sth，“说服某人不要做某事”，比如说，I tried to talk her out of going. 我尽量劝她不要去。他们现在所在的地下墓穴还挺恐怖的，到处都是骷髅头，skull就是指“头盖骨”，skeleton是“全身骨架”。原来从某种意义上说，这个地方就是巴黎的一个巨大墓穴。

5. 我们学过honestly speaking “老实说”，generally speaking“大致上来说”还有strictly speaking“严格来说”，现在我们又学了一个“以某种程度来说”，就是in a way。当你对一件事提出委婉的看法的时候，in a way就派上用场了。比如说，---How did you liked the scary movie? ---In a way, I liked it. ---你觉得恐怖片如何？---某种程度上来说，我挺喜欢的。

6. Mark觉得从某种意义上来说，这里面也挺吓人的，因为堆了好几百年的死人骨头。Mark建议说可以拿个头骨回去做纪念品，souvenir 指“旅游纪念品”，跟一般的present不太一样。
