4. Before class 上课前

A: Hello, Bob. Have you got your work done for today?

B: No, But maybe the teacher won't ask for it.

A: No such luck. The last time he forgot to collect our homework was the day he came down with the flu. He's in better

shape now. He won't forget again.

B: I know. That was a great week. I went out with Mary three nights running.

A: Who's Mary?

B: You know, the dark-haired girl who sits in the front row.

A: Oh, her. I've never met her.

B: Sorry, friend. You won't if I have my way.

译文：

A：喂，鲍勃。今天的功课做完了吗？

B：没有，也许老师不会收作业。

A：没那么运气。上次他忘了收我们的家庭作业，是因为那天他患流感病倒了。现在他已痊愈，不会再忘了。

B：我知道。上星期实在太忙了。连续三个晚上我和玛丽有约会。

A：谁是玛丽？

B：你知道，就是坐在前排的那个黑发姑娘。

A：哦，她。我同她从没有接触。

B：对不起，朋友。如果我按照自己的愿望行事，你当然见不到她。
