A: Hi Sam, we'd better start planning the party, it's in less than two weeks, isn't it?
A:山姆,你好,我们最好开始计划这场派对了,还有不到两周时间,不是吗?
B: Yeah, I guess it is. There isn't much to do, is there?
B:对,我想是的。没有太多事情要做,对吧?
A: Well, we need to sort out food, for a start. B: Why don't we just order some pizzas?
A:我们要先准备好食物。B:我们为何不直接订些披萨呢?
A: But we always do that. Let's do something a bit different. Besides, it's pretty expensive.
A:但我们总是这么做。做点别的吧。再说了,这很贵。
B: What about a barbecue then, or we could just do hot dogs.
B:那烧烤怎么样,或者我们只提供热狗。
A: Hmm, too much preparation involved. There are a lot coming, you know.
A:准备工夫太多了。你要知道会有很多人来。
B: Sandwiches then? That's easy enough.
B:那三明治呢?足够简单。
A: Sandwiches? That's a good idea. Hmm, hang on, that would be even more preparation than the barbecue! Better go back to the original idea, I suppose.
A:三明治?这主意不错。等等,这要准备的比烧烤还多。我想还不如回到最初的想法呢。
B: Pizzas it is, then!
B:那就是披萨了。
A: Now, we also need to think about music, and invitations. B: Well, we don't need to buy invitations, I think we should just do them on the computer and keep costs down.
A:现在,我们还需要想想音乐,和邀请函。B:我们不需要买邀请函,我觉得我们只要直接在电脑上做(发邀请函)就行了,节省成本。
A: Good idea. And what about music? B: We can just use the same stuff we had last time. It's fine.
A:好主意。那音乐呢?B:我们直接用和上次一样的就行了。没问题的。
A: OK, well, if we don't let people know soon there won't be anyone there. So let's make that our priority. Have you got your laptop? B: Yeah, told you there wasn't much to do.
A:好吧,如果我们不尽快告诉别人,到时候就没人来了。所以先做这件事吧。你的手提电脑在吗?B:告诉你了,没有太多事情要做。

A: Hi, Julie, have you got time to plan our project?
A:朱莉,你好,你有时间计划一下我们的项目吗?
B: Sure, I've got a few minutes. We need to choose a topic based on the theme of pollution, don't we?
B:当然,我有些空闲时间。我们需要在“污染”这个主题的基础上选个课题,对吧?
A: That's right. Have you got any preferences? B: Well, I did a huge assignment on water pollution last year so we could just do that?
A:对。你有什么想做的吗?B:我去年在水污染课题做了一项较为大型的作业,我们能直接做这方面吗?
A: Actually, the tutor did make a point of saying not to use last year's materials. So we'd better not.
A:事实上,老师强调不能用去年的材料。我们最好不要。
B: It's probably a bit out of date now anyway. Also, it focused specifically on industry and I think we're supposed to take a broad view.
B:它现在也有点过时了。而且,它专门关注工业,我想我们应该要视野放宽些。
A: That's right. We could look at something totally different, like the effects of fumes on air quality.
A:对。我们能看看完全不同的课题,比如烟雾对空气质量的影响。
B: Hmm, good idea. And we could make sure we include all of the sources, like traffic and factories.
B:好主意。我们要确保我们涵盖了所有的来源,像交通和工厂。
A: So, what else do we need to do? Shall we go to the library and look for resources?
A:那么,我们还有别的事情要做吗?我们要去图书馆查找资料吗?
B: Actually, I think we'd be better off looking online.
B:事实上,我觉得我们最好上网查。
The good resources in the library are often all out at this time of the year.
图书馆里的好资源在每年这个时候通常都全被借走了。
Anyway, before we notify the tutor which topic we've chosen, I think we need to ask the others what they're doing.
不管怎样,在我们告诉老师我们选的课题之前,我们需要问问其他人他们做的是什么。
A: You're right. We need to make sure we're not all doing the same thing. Let's ask them this afternoon in the tutorial.
A:你说得对。我们要确保我们大家不是在做一样的课题。今天下午上课时问问他们吧。
B: Great idea.
B:好主意。
