W: Hey,Tom. How is your literature presentation going?
M: What literature presentation? I don't have to give mine until the end of the next week.
W: You mean you haven't even started working on it yet?
M: No. (1)I need the pressure of a deadline to set inspired.(男士說他事到臨頭才會激發靈感,可能到下周才做。)
W: Really? (2)I'm quite the opposite.(原因一:與男士的態度相反。) I can't concentrate unless I know I have plenty of time.(原因二:需要足夠的時間。)Besides I have a big math test next week.(原因三: 下周有重要考試。)So I want to get my presentation out of the way.
M: What's your presentation on?
W: T. S Eliot.
M: Wasn't he a poet?(3) I thought we were supposed to focus on a novel.(內容須是關于一本小說的。)
W: He wrote novels,do you know?
M: Oh. Really? (4-1) I never knew that. I guess I'll learn more on Tuesday.(男士不了解T. S Eliot的作品。)Is that when you are supposed to talk?
W: Uh-huh. But I was going to offer you a preview. (4-2) I'm looking for someone to tell me whether I'm talking too fast and whether you can follow what I'm saying.(女士需要別人對她的陳述給出意見。)
M: I guess I could do that. When were you thinking of?
W: Will this afternoon be all right? I have a class to go to now but I'll be around before dinner.
M: That sounds good. I'll stop by your room. It's probably quieter there than in my hall.
