情景對(duì)話:
A: Your dog is really beautiful. What breed is it?
B: I don't know. When it was a puppy two years ago, I saw it on the street and adopted it.
A: You mean it's a street dog?
B: Yes. I liked it at the first sight.
A: What's its name?
B: Sam.
A: Oh, come here, Sam. Well, it's really lovely. Can it do any tricks yet?
B: Yeah. It can sit down, shake hands, chase ball and even play dead.
A: Really? It's so smart! I also want to have a dog, but I'm afraid I can't take good care of it.
B: Keeping a dog is not a very easy thing. You have to walk the dog at least twice every day. You also have to brush it and give it a bath frequently.
A: Oh... I don't think I have time to do those things.
B: Besides, you have to buy the special pet shampoo,collar, cage and food for it. All of these things are not cheap. When it is ill, you need to take it to the vet immediately...
A: Oh, please, I think I'd better drop the idea.
參考譯文:
A:你的狗真漂亮啊.是什么狗呀?
B:我也不知道。兩年前它還是小狗的時(shí)候，我在街上看見(jiàn)它并收養(yǎng)了它。
A:這樣說(shuō)，它是一只流浪狗啦?
B:是的。我一看見(jiàn)它就非常喜歡。
A:它叫什么名字呢?
B:山姆。
A:噢，到這兒來(lái).山姆.它真可愛(ài)。它會(huì)表演一些小把戲嗎?
B:會(huì)呀。它會(huì)坐、握手、追球，還會(huì)裝死呢。
A:真的嗎?太聰明了!我也想養(yǎng)一只狗，但我害怕照顧不好它。
B:養(yǎng)狗可不是容易的事啊。你每天得至少遛兩次狗，還得經(jīng)常給它刷毛、洗澡。
A:哦……我想我可沒(méi)時(shí)間做這些事。
B:除了上面提到的事情，你還得買(mǎi)寵物沐浴液、項(xiàng)圈、籠子、狗糧。這些東西都不便宜啊。當(dāng)它生病的時(shí)候，你得立刻送它去看醫(yī)生…….
A:噢，別說(shuō)了，我想我還是放棄這個(gè)念頭吧。
