Lesson Five Bungee Jumping
Peter: On this page we have a new lesson, lesson 5 and we have a picture here. This picture describe a person. This person's or rather ,this is not a person,but an animal. But it looks familiar to me. What's it?
Bruce: It's wild Bruce. ur...wild boar.

Text: Bungee jumping looks like fun.It makes me nervous just to watch someone do it. It certaintly takes a lot of guts to jump 1000 feet above the water with only a rope tied to your legs. It scares me just to think about it. However,it's something I really want to do one day. Some people think I'm crazy. They say to jump is foolish enough, but to have to pay for it is madness. I don't agree. For me to live a short,exciting life is far better than to live a long and boring one.What do you think?
Peter: Wow, this is not the case with Bruce.He will think that bungee jumping is something we should do. So tell us some history about the exciting activity. I think, if I remember correctly,it originated in the country ,New Zealand.
Bruce: That's right.It originated in New Zealand. To originate simply means to start some place, to start somewhere. New Zealand is an island nation, in the south Pacific,it's an English-speaking country.and it's not very big in population.But some of people there really like to have an exciting,fun time.So they had the idea you can jump from the bridge or jump from the tall building with a rope tied to your legs,just like we see here in the picture. There's a rope tied to one of wild boar's four legs. That rope will stop you from hitting the ground.
Bruce: Paper originated in China.
Peter: I heard him singing.I watched him doing it.
Bruce: Billy doesn't have guts to ask Marry out for a date.
Bruce: Appointment is for the teachers,the doctors and the dentists.
Peter: I'd like to have an appointment with you,doctor.I hope that I can see you at seven tomorrow morning.Will you be available then?
Bruce: That poor dog is tied to the fence. He can't run.
Peter: I hate his guts.
Peter: He scared me to death.
Bruce: peter's scared of mirrals/snakes.
Bruce: He looked into the mirral and found that he looked much older.
Bruce: She is frightened of cockroaches.
Bruce: You make him afraid.
Peter: When Bruce appeared at midnight,I was frightened.
Peter: If you work hard,you'll get somewhere some day.
Peter: One day I met John somewhere in that city.
Bruce: People used to think,and some people still think that the moon will influence us.And they used to think that the moon made people go crazy
Peter: When the moon is full,don't go out.
Bruce: I agree with you on this point,but I disagree with you on that point.
Bruce: I like Marry beause she has a agreeable personality. This means I like Marry because she is a friendly,helpful and thoughtful person.She is very agreeable.
Bruce: The weather is agreeable today.Let's go biking.

Lesson 6: Nothing Ventured ,Nothing Gained
Dialog: Lisa and Bill are talking about their future.
Lisa: What's your goal in life,Bill?
Bill: To fly in the sky,and to feel as free as a bird.
Lisa: That's easy.
Bill: What do you mean?
Lisa: Go bungee jumping.
Bill: You must be kidding.It's too dangrous.
Lisa: Well,nothing ventured,nothing gained.

Peter: And the last line happens to be the title of this dialog,'Nothing ventured,nothing gained'.Now please tell us something about this saying.First of all,please tell us the phrase,then later on,if possible,try to explain the structure of this particular saying.
Bruce: Okay.First let's talk about the meaning of "Nothing ventured,nothing gained".If we don't try to do things in our lives,we can't learn about life or about ourselves.Some people're afraid to try anything new,and they know how to do,
what they already know how to do,but they can't learn anything new.Some new things may hurt us,but some new things may help us,too. Growing up is a learning experience. So we often encourage our friends to try something and find out about it.Is it right for you?Is it suitable for you?You'll never know if you don't try it.So nothing ventured ,if you don't try anything,nothing gained ,you won't learn anything.So you can never gain any new ideas or experience.
Peter: Growing up is a learning experience.
Peter: You must have the guts to try something new.Now we have this word,Spell this word and tell us how to use this word.
Bruce: Guts,肠子，that's original meaning.But we also mean courage,when we say guts.For example,he doesn't have any guts means he's a coward,he's afraid to fight or to try something.Ur..if someone has no guts,then he has no courage.If you have no courage,then you are a coward.
Peter: He's cowardly.
Peter: Pluck up one's courage
Bruce: To pluck up one's courage means to make yourself feel brave even though you might feel cowardly.
Bruce: Mark finally plucked up his courage and asked Pearl for a date.Of course if it's a girl's name,要大写;if you talk about the beautiful stone we found in the shell,then it's not capitalized.
Peter: What's your plan for your future?
Peter: If you don't work hard now,you'll never be able to carve out a bright future.
Bruce: By going to school and studying hard, Sam carved out a good career for himself.
Bruce: He attained a fortune by writing a beautiful song.
Peter: To attain one's goal. Peter desires to be a musican.Petet,don't goof around, to attain your goal,you must study hard.
Bruce: We can also use 'reach one's goal'. Sarah reached her goal by graduating with a master's degree.
Peter: Fulfill one's goal.fulfil is ok.
Peter: My purpose is to see Marry.
Bruce: My plan is to learn english better.
Peter: I feel very happy whenever I see you ,Bruce.
Bruce: That's the first time you've ever said that,Peter.
Peter: Well,his words implies Peter's very mean,very sly,very bad.
Bruce: I feel as strong as a bull ,Peter looks as large as  a bull.
Peter: However,Bruce's not as handsome as Peter.
Bruce: We have another 'as...as'expression,Peter,which our students should know.Peter and I are as busy as bees.
Peter: He's as busy as a bee.
Bruce: Take it easy.Don't worry,don't be nervous ,don't be unhappy.Take it easy.We can also use esy as an verb in this expression'easy come,easy go'.Well that's talking about me and money.It's easy for me to make money,and it's just as easy for me to spend the money.I can't seem to save any money.
Peter: What do you mean by laughing at me?
Bruce: What do you mean by calling me at midnight?
Peter: Well, I just want to say hello.
Bruce: I just want to say I love you.

回goal,ivws2006的短信：
goal asked if he/she had a word with me.Of course,just go ahead,and you can leave messages on qq group whose id is 22160643.
ivws2006 advised that I should upload 赖世雄中级美语 three or four lessons a week.I am afraid that I have to say sorry,ivws2006,I don't think you can really master one lesson by spending only one hour on it.Yes,the text or the dialog is short,but the extended content is much more than the text /the dialog itself.So are you sure you really make it your own?Could I ask if you do the dictation practice?
Thanks for your passion!
