Listen to a conversation between two students.
請聽兩個學生間的對話。
Man: Hey, Sara, when does your play open? The one you wrote and directing?
男：Sara，你的話劇什么時候開演啊？就是你寫的并指導的那部話劇？
Woman: In one week.
女：一個星期之后。
Man: And how's it coming along?
男：情況怎么樣？
Woman: Well, the rehearsal had been going pretty well, there's just one problem.
女：彩排結果還不錯，現在就剩一個問題了。
Man: What's that?
男：什么問題？
Woman: We have a guy named Bill playing one of the supporting roles, one of the minor characters.
女：我們有一個叫Bill的人，扮演其中一個配角，一個次要角色。
Man: OK?
男：然后呢？
Woman: And he just can't remember his lines.
女：他總是記不住臺詞。
All the other characters have their parts memorized except Bill.
所有其他演員都把角色臺詞背熟了，就剩Bill一個人了。
We'll be in the middle of rehearsing a big scene and he'll forget what he is supposed to say next.
我們在排練一個很重要的場景時，他總是忘記下一句該說什么。
I thought he'd eventually improve but now I'm not sure he'll be ready for opening night.
我以為他慢慢會好一些的，但是現在我不確定他能不能在開演那天晚上之前準備好。
Man: Oh, no! That's not good. What can you do at this point?
男：不是吧！這可不妙。都這個節骨眼了你還能怎么辦呢？
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。學校里還有別的演員，他們可以扮演這個角色。
Man: Yeah, since it's such a minor role, another actor could probably learn the part in time.
男：對，既然這只是個次要角色，別的演員也許可以及時熟悉這個角色。
Woman: That's true. It's just that I don't know how he'd feel about that.
女：沒錯，只是我不知道他對這件事會怎么想。
Removing him from the play could hurt his feelings and he was really looking forward to being in it.
把他從話劇中踢出去可能會傷害他的感情，畢竟他真的很期待能夠參加這個話劇。
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，也許，我的意思是，也許你能做的另一件事就是在他身上花點時間，比如排練完之后再跟他一起對對詞，幫他把臺詞背下來。
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。但是排練結束之后我還要忙話劇中其他的工作。
So it'll take away from other things that I need to do before opening night.
所以這樣的話就會耽誤我在開演之前要完成的其他事情。
