B. Shopping.

Shopkeeper: Yes, Mrs. Davies？ What could we do for you today？

Mrs. Davies: I want to order some foods.

Shopkeeper: Well, I thought that might be the reason you came here, Mrs.

Davies. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Mrs. Davies: But I want rather a lot, so you’ll have to deliver it.

Shopkeeper: That’s perfectly all right. You just order whatever you like

and we’ll send it straight round to your house this afternoon.

店主：是的，戴维斯太太？我们今天能为您做什么？

戴维斯夫人：我想订些食物。

店主：好吧，我想那可能是你来这儿的原因，戴维斯夫人。哈，哈，哈，哈，哈。

戴维斯夫人：但是我要很多，所以你得送货。

店主：当然可以。你只需要点你喜欢的，我们今天下午就把它直接发到你家。

Mrs. Davies: Right. Well, first of all I want two boxes of baked beans.

Shopkeeper: You mean two tins？

Mrs. Davies: No, I mean two boxes. Two boxes of tins of baked beans.

Shopkeeper: But each box contains forty-eight tins. Are you really sure

you want so many？ I mean, it would take a long time to eat so

many.

Mrs. Davies: Who said anything about eating them？ I’m saving them.

Shopkeeper: Saving them？

Mrs. Davies: Yes, for the war.

Shopkeeper: War？ Are we going to have a war？

Mrs. Davies: You never know. I’m not taking any chances. I read the

papers. You’re not going to catch me stuck in the house without a

thing to eat. So put down two boxes of baked beans, will you？ And

three boxes of rice, five boxes of spaghetti and you’d better send me a

hundred tins of tomato sauce to go with it. Have you got that？

Shopkeeper: Yes, two boxes of baked beans, three boxes of rice, five

boxes of spaghetti and a hundred tins of tomato sauce. But I’m not

sure we have all these things in stock. I mean not that amount.

戴维斯夫人：好的。好吧，首先我要两箱焗豆。

店主：你的意思是两罐？

戴维斯夫人：不，我是说，两箱。两箱罐装焗豆。

店主：但是每箱有四十八罐。你真的确定你要这么多吗？我的意思是，需要很长时间才能吃这么多。

戴维斯太太：谁说要把它们吃了，我要储存它们。

老板：储存?

戴维斯太太：是的，以防有战争。

店主：战争？我们会有一场战争吗？

戴维斯夫人：你永远不知道。我不会冒险的。我看报纸。你不会看着我被困在房.

子里，没有东西吃吧。所以记下两箱焗豆，好吗？三箱大米，五箱意大利面，你最好给我一百罐番茄酱用来拌面。你明白了吗？

店主：是的，两箱焗豆，三箱大米，五箱意大利面和一百罐番茄酱。但我不确定所有的东西都有货。我的意思是说这么多数量。

Mrs. Davies: How soon can you get them, then？

Shopkeeper: Well, within the next few days. I don’t suppose you’ll be

needing them before then, will you？

Mrs. Davies: You never can tell. It’s touch and go. I was watching the

nice man on the television last night. You know, the one with the nice

teeth. Lovely smile he’s got. And he said, ‘Well, you never can tell.’

And that set me thinking, you see. Anyway, you just deliver them as

soon as you can. I shan’t be going out again after today. Now ... now

what else？ Ah yes, tea and sugar. I’d better have a couple of boxes

of each of those. No...no make if four of sugar. I’ve got a sweet tooth.

Shopkeeper: So two boxes of tea and four boxes of sugar. Anything

else？ It doesn’t sound a very interesting diet. How about half a

dozen boxes of tinned fish？

Mrs. Davies: Fish？ No, can’t stand fish. Oh, but that reminds me, eight

boxes of cat food.

Shopkeeper: Cat food？

Mrs. Davies: Yes. Not for me. You don’t think I’m going to sit there on

my own, do you？

戴维斯夫人：那么你多久能到货呢？

店主：嗯，在接下来的几天里。我认为你不会在此之前需要它们，是吗？

戴维斯夫人：你永远无法预测。情况很紧迫。昨天晚上我在电视上看到一个很好的人。你知道，这个人有很好看的牙齿。他拥有可爱的微笑。他说，“你永远无法预测”这让我思考，你知道吗。不管怎样，只要你可以你就赶快就把它们送过来。今天之后我应该不会再出去了。现在…现在还有什么吗？是的，茶和糖。最好每一样两箱。如果是四箱糖也没关系，我爱吃甜食。

店主：那么两箱茶叶和四箱糖。还有什么吗？这听起来不是一个有吸引力的食谱。六箱罐头鱼怎么样？

戴维斯夫人：鱼？不，我不喜欢吃鱼。哦，但这提醒了我，八箱的猫食。

店主：猫食？

戴维斯夫人：是的。不是给我的。你不会认为我会自己坐在那里吧，是吗？

Section Three:

Spot Dictation.

Spot Dictation 1:

A (sailor) once went into (a pub) in a very dark street in (Liverpool).

He got (very drunk) there and staggered out (around ). Around

(midnight), one of his friends found him (on his hands and knees) in the

.

gutter. “What are you doing (there)？” he inquired. “I’m looking for (my

wallet). I think I lost it in that dark street (down there),” he said. “Well, if

you lost it (in that street), why are you looking for it (here)？” the

friend(demanded). The sailor thought for a moment. “Because (the light)

is better here,” he answered.

有次一个水手走进了一家在利物浦一条昏暗街道上的酒吧。他喝得很醉，11点多了还在外面晃悠。午夜时分，他的一个朋友发现他四肢着地趴在排水沟那。朋友问，“你在那干嘛呢？”他说，“我找我钱包呢。我想我把它掉在那个黑暗的街道上了。”朋友又问他，“那你要是把它掉在街上了，你在水沟这儿找它干嘛？”这个水手想了想，回答道，“因为这儿比较亮”。

Spot Dictation 2:

A famous (85)-year-old (millionaire) once gave a lecture at (an

American university). “I’m going to tell you how to live (a long, healthy

life) and how to get (very rich at the same time),” he announced. “The

(secret) is very (simple).” “All you have to do is (avoid bad habits) like

(drinking) and (smoking). But you have to (get up early) every morning,

(work) at least (10 hours) a day and (save every) penny, as well,” he said.

A young man in (the audience) stood up. “My father did (all those things)

and yet he died (a very poor man) at the age of only (39). How do you

(explain that)？” he asked. The millionaire thought (for a moment). “It’s

very simple. He didn’t (do them) for (long enough),” he answered.

一位著名的85岁的百万富翁曾经在一个美国大学做了讲座。。“我要告诉你如何生活得长久又健康,以与如何同时变得非常富有,”他宣布。“这个秘密很简单。”“你所要做的就是避免坏习惯例如喜欢饮酒和吸烟。但是你必须每天必须早起,每天至少工作10小时,并且节约每一分钱,”他说。观众中一个年轻人站了起来。“我的父亲做了所有这些东西,但他在年仅39岁去世时也非常穷。你怎么解释呢?”他问道。百万富翁想了一会儿。“这非常简单的。他没有做到足够长的时间,”他回答说。
