Professor: Winnie, today we're going to listen to Emily and Peter talking about movies on theirblind date.

　　哎，初次約會通過聊電影來了解對方，這辦法不錯!

　　Professor: I agree! Now let's find out if they both like going to the movies in their free time.

　　P: So Emily, what do you like to do for fun?

　　E: I like to go to the movies. What do you do in your free time?

　　P: I also like going to the movies.

　　E: Well that's great! It's nice that we have something in common.

　　聽起來倆人都愛看電影，已經(jīng)有共同話題了!對了，Professor Bowman, doing something "for fun" 和 doing something "in your free time" 有區(qū)別么?

　　P: They're very similar. When you want to know what people's hobbies are, you can ask them what they do "for fun", or what they do "in their free time".

　　原來如此，那我可以說 "I like studying English in my free time."

　　P: Exactly, Winnie! Now let's listen and see when they go to the movies.

　　E: When do you usually go to the movies?

　　P: I usually go in my free time on the weekends. How about you?

　　E: The movie theater is always so crowded on the weekends. I like to go to the movies during the week.

　　P: That's true. And sometimes the tickets are cheaper during the week as well.

　　Professor: It looks like Emily and Peter like going to the movies at different times. Did you hear the difference, Winnie?

　　嗯，好像Peter是周末去電影院，但Emily嫌周末人多，所以她一般都是周一到周五去看電影。

　　Professor: That's right, and Peter says the tickets are cheaper during the week too. What kind of movies do you think they like?

　　唔，男生和女生喜歡的電影類型一定不一樣，最好能有什么類型的電影是他們倆都喜歡的，這樣第二次約會就有戲了!

　　Professor: Let's listen and find out.

　　P: I like watching comedies, like "Borat". Do you like watching comedies too?

　　E: Not really, I like watching horror movies, like "The Unborn".

　　P: You like horror movies? I don't like them because they're too scary! I like comedies because I love to laugh.

　　E: I like horror movies because I like to be scared.

　　啊呀，他倆的電影口味相差很遠呢!Emily是個女孩子，結(jié)果反倒愛看恐怖片，Peter是男子漢，卻不敢看這種電影。Professor Bowman，我有個問題，他們好像管喜劇叫"comedies"，而不是"comedy movies"，這是為什么?

　　Professor: Well, Winnie, for some kinds of movies, you don't have to use the word "movies" after them. For example, you can talk about "comedies," "dramas" and "thrillers", and everyone will know you're talking about movies.

　　我明白了。comedies喜劇片、dramas劇情片和thrillers驚險片，后面都不用加movies. Professor Bowman，你覺得，他們電影口味不同，還會繼續(xù)約會么?

　　Professor: I think if they really like each other, they'll find a way to solve the problem. Let's listen.

　　P: Well, it's too bad that we like different kinds of movies. Maybe we're just different kinds of people.

　　E: Yeah it's too bad ... but actually I think I know what to do.

　　P: What's that?

　　E: We can go to a horror movie, and I'll hold your hand so you don't get scared.

　　P: You mean ... like on a second date?

　　E: Of course! Or are you still too scared!

　　P: No way! That sounds great!

　　哈!Emily可真不簡單!她不僅安排了第二次約會，而且還找到了和Peter拉手的理由!

　　Professor: That was indeed very smart of her, Winnie! It looks like this date was a success after all.

　　是啊!您說他們能成一對兒么?

　　Professor: Well, we'll have to listen in next time and see what happens.
