Listen to a conversation between two students.
请听两个学生间的对话。
Man: Hey, Sara, when does your play open? The one you wrote and directing?
男：Sara，你的话剧什么时候开演啊？就是你写的并指导的那部话剧？
Woman: In one week.
女：一个星期之后。
Man: And how's it coming along?
男：情况怎么样？
Woman: Well, the rehearsal had been going pretty well, there's just one problem.
女：彩排结果还不错，现在就剩一个问题了。
Man: What's that?
男：什么问题？
Woman: We have a guy named Bill playing one of the supporting roles, one of the minor characters.
女：我们有一个叫Bill的人，扮演其中一个配角，一个次要角色。
Man: OK?
男：然后呢？
Woman: And he just can't remember his lines.
女：他总是记不住台词。
All the other characters have their parts memorized except Bill.
所有其他演员都把角色台词背熟了，就剩Bill一个人了。
We'll be in the middle of rehearsing a big scene and he'll forget what he is supposed to say next.
我们在排练一个很重要的场景时，他总是忘记下一句该说什么。
I thought he'd eventually improve but now I'm not sure he'll be ready for opening night.
我以为他慢慢会好一些的，但是现在我不确定他能不能在开演那天晚上之前准备好。
Man: Oh, no! That's not good. What can you do at this point?
男：不是吧！这可不妙。都这个节骨眼了你还能怎么办呢？
Woman: Well, I could replace him. There are other actors on campus, actors who could play the part.
女：我可以找人代替他。学校里还有别的演员，他们可以扮演这个角色。
Man: Yeah, since it's such a minor role, another actor could probably learn the part in time.
男：对，既然这只是个次要角色，别的演员也许可以及时熟悉这个角色。
Woman: That's true. It's just that I don't know how he'd feel about that.
女：没错，只是我不知道他对这件事会怎么想。
Removing him from the play could hurt his feelings and he was really looking forward to being in it.
把他从话剧中踢出去可能会伤害他的感情，毕竟他真的很期待能够参加这个话剧。
Man: I see, well, could you, I mean, maybe another thing you could do is spent time with him, after rehearsals, you know, work with him to help him learn to remember his lines.
男：我知道了，也许，我的意思是，也许你能做的另一件事就是在他身上花点时间，比如排练完之后再跟他一起对对词，帮他把台词背下来。
Woman: Yeah, I could do that. But there are other parts of the production I try to take care of after rehearsals.
女：嗯，也不是不可以。但是排练结束之后我还要忙话剧中其他的工作。
So it'll take away from other things that I need to do before opening night.
所以这样的话就会耽误我在开演之前要完成的其他事情。
