3.医院场景第二题
W: Well Mr. Green. The first and important thing I have to tell you is that there is nothing seriously wrong with
you. The analyst’s report shows that basically you’re very healthy. M: Wow! That’ really good! Thank you doctor!
W: But I think, however, your condition has a lot to do with. Maybe the way of life, or say, the habits, you have to
take care of. M: Really?
W: That’s right. So Mr. Green, do you smoke? M: Yes. And I’m afraid, maybe already over 12 years. W: Ah…, rather heavily than I imagine.
M: I’m sorry for that, but you know, it is not easy to quit smoking. I always feel exhaustive when I wake up in the morning and can’t sleep during the night.
W: I can understand that. But you should do your best to quit. You know that.
M: Yes, I see. Actually I’ve tried to give up smoking for several times but it’s of no use. I have to smoke nearly 30
cigarettes every day, and sometimes even more when I feel tired or depressed.
W: I’m afraid you have to cut it down. I know that when you feel tense, you probably feel that a cigarette may
relax you. But in the long run, I strongly advise you to make a real effort to quit smoking. M: Of course. But you know. It’s very hard.
W: Well, Mr. Green. You really have no choice. Either you make a real effort or there’s no real chance of your feeling better. The medicine I prescribed can just help you temporarily but it can’t be used for a long time. And I still prefer to see you really back to normal, not just seemingly so. M: Erm…, I see. I will try my best to quit smoking.
4. 俱乐部场景第二题
M: Hi! My name is Jack. Can I speak to the secretary of the Arts club, please? W: Sure! I’m the secretary. How can I help you?

we’d like some more information, you know, about joining and the sort of activities.
W: Ok. And what you want now is our calendar. Please get it from the shelf near the front door. I’ll make sure
there are plenty by Friday. Is that all right for you?
M: Yeah, thank you. But would you mind telling me how much it costs to join? W: Membership fee for you, it is twelve pounds fifty every year. M: What exactly does club membership entitle one to do?
W: Oh, there will be the club events. You are invited to them. And they are for members only and free of charge. M: So what sort of events are they?
W: You’ll see what they are when you get hold of the calendar. But I’m sure to tell you there will be some parties
and many people will come. By the way, I don’t know what your interests are. You’ve got any musical talents? M: I’m not sure about talents exactly. But I like music, and so does my friend. W: Do either of you sing?
M: Yes, we’ve both been in the choir.
W: There you are then. The club’s got a very fine choir. I’m in it myself as a matter of fact. We have practices every Thursday evening.

over with my friend. And thank you very much. W: You are welcome.
