马克：我是在一个叫做布拉福德的地方长大的。
Todd: Yeah.
托德：好。
Mark: Actually Bradford is famous in England for two things. One, it's famous for curry. Indian curry because in Bradford we have a lot of Indian and muslim people, but also it's famous for riots because Bradford had major riots in England, it's had maybe the two worst riots in England for the past 10 years and that's due to racism basically.
马克：实际上，布拉福德有两样东西在英格兰很出名。一件是，布拉福德的咖喱很有名。印度咖喱，因为布德福德有许多印度人和穆斯林，而布拉福德也因混乱而出名，因为布拉福德是英格兰最混乱的地方，在过去间那里发生了英格兰历史上最严重的两场**，引发**的原因是种族主义。
Todd: Really.
托德：是吗?
Mark: Yeah.
马克：对。
Todd: Oh, no! Is it a rough area?

马克：对，那里都是工人阶级。嗯，布拉福德并不富有，非常穷。
Todd: What was it like growing up there, like, what did you do as a kid?
托德：在那里长大怎么样，你小时候都做些什么?
Mark: What did I do as a kid? It was, it was tough, I lived on a government, well we call it councilor estate, maybe in America it's called maybe government assisted housing, so my area was pretty tough, but always there were lots of kids around so we were always playing football, cricket, or riding bikes or sometimes causing mischief.
马克：我小时候做什么?很艰难，我住在，我们称之为政府工厂，可能在美国称为政府资助的房屋，所以我生活的地方非常艰苦，不过周围有许多孩子，所以我们经常一起踢足球、打板球、或是骑自行车，或是其他的恶作剧之类的。
Todd: How would you cause mischief?
托德：你怎么恶作剧?
Mark: It depends, maybe sometimes there's an old guy who nobody likes who lives near us so we go and throw maybe eggs at his windows and as we grew older we started throwing rocks at his windows, yeah.
马克：这要看情况，那里有住在我们附近但是大家都讨厌的老人，所以我们可能会往他家的窗户扔鸡蛋，我们长大以后，会向他的窗户扔石块。
Todd: What would you do if you had a house now and some kid threw eggs at your house?
托德：那如果现在你有了自己的房子，而有些孩子向你的房子扔鸡蛋你会怎么做?
mark: If some kid threw eggs at my house I'd probably buy a big dog and set the dog off the least and the dog can chase the kids away.
马克：如果有孩子们往我的房子扔鸡蛋，我可能会买只大狗，放开狗的绳子，让狗把孩子们赶走。

A : That's a good idea.
A：好主意。

A: the company is selecting three employees to attend the marketing seminar next month. Did you put your name in for it?
B: no, I don't really care too much for seminars…I find them to be either boring ot useless. I mean, how much can you really learn in one afternoon?
A: it's not just about the things that you learn, you know...seminars are a really great opportunity to mingle and network with professionals in our industry from all over the nation. You can learn a few things, but more importantly, you rub shoulders with the business leaders and make contacts that could lead to potential sales or patnerships in the future. The social mixers are always more important than the seminars anyway.
B: I'm still not too jazzed about going…I feel kind of awkward in those cocktail party situations.
A: well, what if I told you the seminar is going to be held in Hawaii? Does that perk your interest?
B: now you're talking.
公司准备挑选3名员工继续参加这个月举行的一个市场销售研讨会.你报名了吗?
没有,我实在对研讨会没有大多的兴趣…我觉得研讨会不是没意思就是没有用.我的意思是,一个下午的时间你能真正学到多少东西?
你知道,这不仅是你学东西的问题…研讨会真的是个很好的机会,能结交,联络全国各地我们本行业的专业人士.你能学到不少东西,而更重要的是你能接触那些企业领导,而且能建立联系,而这些在将来很可能会有助于打开产品销路或建立合作关系.不管怎样,联谊会总比研讨会更重要.
我还是对参加会议不感兴趣…我觉得在那些鸡尾酒会的场合里有点儿不舒服.
好了,那如果我告诉你研讨会要在夏威夷召开,你会怎么看?这会让你打起精神吗?
你这算是说对了!

Han Meimei pays a visit to Li Lei on Sunday.
H: This is the second time I’ve been here.
H:这是我第二次来这儿。
L: You’ve been here before?
L:你以前来过?
H: Several weeks ago, John showed me around, but we only took a look at the buildings and scenery.
H:几个星期以前，约翰带我转了一下，但只看了些建筑和风景。
L: Next week you two will come and sit in on the class of positive psychology, right?
L:你们两个下周要来听积极心理学了是吧?
H: Yes, I feel time goes by so slowly. Tell me about your first impression of Harvard.
H:是的，我觉得时间过得好慢呀。给我说说你对哈佛的第一印象吧。
L： Well, as I went through the main gate and entered the Yard, the sun was filtering through the trees, softly illuminating the historic, brick buildings and causing the green grass to sparkle in the early morning dew. I gazed out the window at this beautiful scene and thought to myself, “No freshman should be so lucky.”
L:好吧，当我穿过大门来到哈佛园，看到阳光穿过树木，柔和地照在古老的砖墙建 筑上，阳光下绿草在晨露里闪光。我凝望着窗外，看着这美丽景色，心想M没有 新生竟会这么幸运了”。
H: Get to the point, tell me about your life in the first week. The first thing you did must be going to your dorm room.
H:说重点，给我说说你第一周的生活。第一 件事应该是去宿舍吧。
L: Right. I was luckily enough to move into the Canaday Hall. It s the newest dormitory in Harvard Yard，yet it was completed as early as in 1974.
L:对。我很幸运搬进了卡纳迪堂，它是哈佛 学院最新的宿舍楼了。尽管如此，它早于 1974年就建成了。
H: The newest was built in 1974. How old the other dormitories are!
H:最新的楼都是1974年的，其他宿舍楼该 多古老呢!
L; Very old. Some were even built in the 18th and 19th century.
L;很古老，一些甚至建于18和19世纪。
H: I know. Last time John and I had a look at Massachusetts Hall, the oldest dormitory, from the outside.
H:我知道，上次我和约翰从外面看了最古老的宿舍楼马萨诸塞堂。
L: In addition to Mass Hall and Canaday Hall, there're about 15 other dormitory buildings, most of which are quite ancient. And these dormitories have housed many distinguished people in history. Emerson lived in Hollis Hall, J. F. Kennedy lived in Weld Hall, Bill Gates lived in Wigglesworth Hall, and so on and so forth.
L:除了马萨诸塞堂和卡纳迪堂，还有大约15个宿舍楼，很多都很古老。历史上有 很多著名人士曾经住过这些宿舍楼。爱默生住过霍利斯堂，J. F.肯尼迪住过维 尔德堂，比尔?盖茨住过威格尔斯沃斯堂，等等。
H: The feeling of living in these buildings must be different.
H:住在这些楼里的感觉肯定不一样吧。
L： Quite different. When I went into the Canaday Hall, I was a little disappointed. It lacks some of the charm of the freshmen housing. Instead of hardwood floors and fireplaces, Canaday's rooms have white cinderblock walls and sketchy carpeting,
L:相当不一样。我刚进卡纳迪堂时，有点失望。它缺少一些新生宿舍的魅力。卡纳 迪的房间不是硬木地板和壁炉，相反却是白色煤渣墻壁和破烂的地毯。
H: I think it’s good to have a different feeling in modem times when everything is made of, you know, cement. Didn’t it give you the feeling of historical vicissitudes?
H:我想，在什么都是用水泥做的现代社会，有一种别样的感觉也挺好的。设有给你 一种历史沧桑感?
L: Whatever you say, I was really disappointed at the first sight. However, my initial disappointment quickly wore off as I came to realize all the advantages Canaday has to offer.
L:随便你怎么说，反正我第一眼看到时，真的有些失望。不过，这种失望很快就消 失了，因为我发现了卡纳迪的好处。
H: You change your mind so quickly and easily.

H: That’s wonderful. In Chinese universities, usually six or eight students have to share one room. It’s too crowded. How do you like your roommates?
H：那很好啊，在国内的大学，通常6到8个人要住在一个房间，很挤。你喜欢你的 室友吗?
L: I adore my roommates. They’ve definitely helped make this place feel more like home. During this first week, it’s such a relief to have four boys to be my friends whom I can count on to help me through this adjustment process.

Dialogue 情景对话1
A: It's such a nice day outside. Let's take a walk into town and do some window-shopping.
C: You know I hate shopping more than aything else in this world.
A: I know. But we could get some exercise in, and we could get some errands run, too. Windous-shopping won't cost you anything?
C: What kind of errands do we need to run?
A: Well, we could go to the newsagent's to pick up the Sunday paper, go to the butcher's to pick up a Chicken for a roast dinner, and to the chemist's to pick up your prescription from the doctor.
C: I'll only go if we can stop at the off-license to pick up something to drink for tonight.
A: Fine, we'll do that on the way home, so we don't have to carry it the whole time.
C: Sounds good. You have to promise not to go into any of the stores in the mall though. I know how you like to try things on in the fitting rooms, especially if the stores have special offers.
A: I promise. We're only going for a walk to get some exercise and to get some things done that we haven't had time for.
C: OK, let's go then.
A: Do you have any money?
C: For what?
A: For our errands, and maybe a little extra for something from a vendor on the street.
C: You said you were only going to windos shop!
A: I agreed to not go into the mall, but I still look at things in the market!

C: Don't worry. I've decided that for your birthday I'm going to take you shopping for a new dress.
A: Really? I thought you hated shopping?
C: I do, that's why you should appreciate this gift!
A: Sure. That's really nice of you. Let's go in and try some things on.
C: How about this red dress? I think it would really suit you.
A: That's gorgeous! Do they have it in a size 8?
C: Here you go. On my other day, it would cost me a fortune, but it's on special offer today.
A: I think this colour isn't quite right for me. Do they have the same dress in white?
C: Let me look. Let's see... they've got one in blue, green, pink, black... and white. Here you are.
A: This is perfect! What do you think?
C: I think you look fantastic. Happy Birthday!
A: I'm so lucky. You only get a chance like this once in a blue moon! Thanks honey!

扩展：什么是履历表
A resume is a summary of your life to date and includes details of your education and work experience. A resume is also called a CV (Latin: Curriculum vitae) in some countries, especially in the UK.
The rule to resume writing is: there is no hard and fast rule! You can choose to list your career history in chronological1 order, to highlight your skills, or even to target your resume to one particular job. However, always include a cover letter with your resume.
Make sure your resume is up-to-date. Always use a PC to compile it, and try not to clutter2 it up with different font styles or clip-art. Sober and simple is best for most jobs, although, there is more flexibility3 for jobs that call for creativity. Keeping it simple also helps you to edit and personalize your resume for each future job that you apply to. If possible, use the company's language ?reflect the qualities that they emphasize in advertisements and pamphlets etc.
A resume should always include:
Contact details
An educational history
An employment history
Your skills, talents and interests
References
Don't forget to spell- and grammar-check your resume and get a qualified4 friend to go over the grammar for you. You can write brief and concise5 descriptions of your experiences as well as what you have achieved through these experiences. You can illustrate6 this with certificates, diplomas, degrees, awards, and/or portfolios7.
The educational history should be brief. If you have a master's degree, your high school grades are irrelevant8. Don't use superficial adjectives, such as ”excellent sales results.“ Try to turn this around by using positive verbs instead, such as ”achieved 200% increase in sales.“
Here are some adjectives that always look good on resumes:
Self-starter
Initiative taker
Independent worker
Team player
Accountable
Reliable
Organized
Good communicator
For example: ”planned sales strategy with team of three and coordinated9 implementation10.“
下面是关于外贸付款条件的情景对话，来看看吧!
A: Well, we've settled the question of price, quality and quantity. Now what about the terms of payment?
A: 好吧，我们已经谈妥了价格、质量和数量问题。现在谈谈付款条件，怎么样?
B: We only accept payment by irrevocable letter of credit payable against shipping documents.
B: 我们只接受不可撤消的凭装船单据付款的信用证。
A: I see. Could you make an exception and accept D/A or D/P?
A: 哦，你们能不能来个例外，接受承兑交单或付款交单?
B: I'm afraid not. We insist on a letter of credit.
B: 恐怕不行，我们坚持用信用证条款。
A: To tell you frankly, a letter of credit would increase the cost of my import. When I open a letter of credit with a bank, I have to pay a deposit. That'll tie up my money and add to my cost.
A: 坦率地说，信用证会增加我方进口货的成本，要在银行开立信用证，我得付一笔押金。这样，那一部分资金就无法周转，因此会增加成本。
B: Consult your band and see if they will reduce the required deposit to a minimum.
B: 你和开证行商量一下，是否把押金设法减少到最低限度。
A: Still, there will be bank charges in connection with the credit. It would help me greatly if you would accept D/A or D/P. You can draw on me just as if there were a letter of credit. It makes no great difference to you, but it does to me.
A: 即使那样，开立信用证还要付银行手续费。假如你能接受承兑交单或付款交单，这就帮我大忙了。你就当作有信用证一样，向我开汇票，这对你来说区别不大，但是对我关系可大了。
B: Well, Mr Schmidt, you must be aware that an irrevocable letter of credit gives the exporter the additional protection of the banker's guarantee. We always require L/C for our exports. And the other way round, we pay by L/C for our imports.
B: 史密特先生，你一定知道，不可撤消的信用证给出口商增加了银行的担保。我们出口一向要求用信用证;反过来讲，我们进口也采用信用证付款。
A: To meet you half-way, what do you say to 50% by L/C and the balance by D/P?
A: 我们都退让一步吧，货价的百分之五十用信用证，其余的用付款交单，你看怎么样?
B: I'm very sorry, Mr Schmidt, but I'm afraid I can't promise you even that. As I've said, we require payment by L/C.
B: 很对不起，史密特先生。即使那样，我恐怕也不能答应。我已经说过了，我们要求用信用证付款。
