DIALOG 38

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

(Sound of piano playing)
laurance--Listen!Somebody's playing the piano.
soony--Yeah,it sounds nice,doesn't it?I wish I
could play a musical instrument.
laurance--Don't you play the violin?
soony--No,but my sister does.Actually,she's pretty
good at it.
laurance--I took flute lessons for a couple of years,
but I never learned to play very well.I guess
I don't have any musical talent.
soony--Oh,that's not true.You sing very well.I can't
even do that!

===========================================================
注解：
1)play the piano:說演奏某種樂器時,樂器前要加定冠詞,下句中還有play the violin.
2)It sounds nice...:sound是系動詞,nice是表語.此句與you look happy是同樣的結構.
3)wish用以表示愿望,其賓語從句中的動詞必須要虛擬語氣.
4)musical instrument:樂器.
5)She's...good at it:be good at sth.是擅長做某事.
6)took flute lessons:原意是上笛子課.
7)talent:天資,才能.

參考譯文：

laurance--你聽!有人在彈鋼琴.
soony--是的,真好聽,不是嗎?我要是會演奏什么樂器就好了.
laurance--你不是會拉提琴嗎?
soony--不會.我姐姐會拉.說實在的,她小提琴拉得相當好.
laurance--我學過一兩年笛子.但我從來沒有吹好過.我想我沒有什么音樂天賦.
soony--噢,那可不是.你歌唱得非常好.我連唱歌都不會.
