M: Hi, Heather, I was wondering if you're free tomorrow night.
W: Well, George, I guess I am. Why do you ask?
M: I have just gotten a pair of pre-sale Star Wars movie tickets from a friend and was (5) thinking of g inviting you along for the opening.(男士想邀请女士观看电影首映。)Are you interested?
W: Yeah, definitely! I really want to watch Star Wars on the opening day but the pre-sale tickets have been sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?
M: A friend of mine works at the corporate headquarters of "Pepsi", which is a major sponsor of the movie. He was able to get the tickets for free,and then (6-1) he sold two to me for $50 a piece.(根据下文可知,黑市价200美元,减去50,每张多花150,两张就是300美元。)
W: You paid $50 for each ticket? That's a lot of extra money over the regular price!
M: Not really,considering the fact that other people are (6-2)paying as high as $200 each on the black market.(黑市价200美元。)Besides,(7-1) I knew you were really looking forward to watching Star are on the opening day.(买票的主要原因是女士很想看电影首映。)
W: Wow, I'm really honored (7-2) you went through all this trouble just for my sake.(因为女士想看,男士才想尽办法买到票。)I really appreciate that. So, what time are we going?
M: Well, let's see. The movie starts at 10 p. m. We should get there at least 1 hour earlier because there'll be a big line. I could pick you up at your house at 8, if that's OK with you.
W: Okay, George. Bye!
M: Bye, Heather.
