你觉得这个周末天气会好吗？
Susan：I heard it may rain. 
我听说会下雨。
William：Oh. That’s a pity. I thought that we might go hiking in the hills. 
哦，那太遗憾了。我本来想咱们可以去山上散步的。
Susan：Mmm…. Well we could go to that new art gallery instead. 
嗯…. 我们或者也可以去那家新开的美术馆看看。
William：Yes that might be a better idea. 
对，那可能是个更好的主意。
Susan：Maybe we’ll meet some of the artists too. 
也许我们还会碰到一些艺术家。

Mary：I really envy these stewardesses. I wish I could be one of them. 
我真羡慕这些空姐的工作，我也想当空姐。
John：You? 
就你？
Mary：What! Anyone can be a stewardess if she is tall and good-looking. 
怎么了？只要身高长相可以，谁都可以当空姐嘛。
John：
Honey, that's not as simple as you think. To be a flight attendant, the most important thing is to be amiable. More, you must speak English fluently. 
亲爱的，没你想的那么简单。做空姐，最重要的是要有亲和力，英语也得很流利。

天啊，那我完了，英语肯定会拖我后腿。
John：Well, go practice your English first. 
那你还是先好好练练英语吧。

就是。我听说有将近两千个学生在请愿书上签名了，表达我们对食物、价格和服务的不满。
Serenity：Do you think it will work? 
你说这能管用吗？
Dan：Many hands make light work. I think this could force them to improve a little. 
众人拾柴火焰高嘛。我想总能让他们改进一点儿吧。
Serenity：I hope so. 
希望如此。
