PART I - The Dialogue
我們的記者Geoff Howard訪問兩位住在大橋飯店附近的居民,飯店坐落在住宅區(qū)。飯店里有個樂隊,到了晚上就演奏。有的居民喜歡這種音樂;有的居民感到討厭。這段話在廣播里分三部分播放。
GEOFF:
We're talking about live music at the Bridge Hotel.(問)Jean,what do you think of live music at the Bridge Hotel?
JEAN:
Well,in my opinion,it's the wrong place for live music.
GEOFF:
Why is that?
JEAN:
The hotel's in a residential area.
GEOFF:
Paul,how do you feel about this?
PAUL:
If you want my opinion,I think Jean Thomas is reacting too strongly.Many people in the area need somewhere to go. And they like the music at the Bridge Hotel.
GEOFF:
But rock'n roll's noisy, isn't it?
JEAN:
Right!

That's true,but the band stops at ten o'clock.

And curses the old snagger(干活不細致的剪羊毛工人)with the bare-bellied yoe.(母羊)
