作者: sqh2687191 时间: 2006-6-27 19:12 标题: 想学新概念英语2的来,是翻译

第一课
      上星期我去看戏.我的座位很好,戏很有意思,但我去无法欣赏.一青年男子与一青年女子坐在我的身后,大声地说着话.我非常生气,因为我听不见演员在说什么.我回头去怒视着那年一男一女,他们却毫不理会.最后,我忍不住了,又一次回过头去,生气地说:"我一个字也听不见了!"
      "不关你的事,"那男的毫不客气地说,"这是私人间的谈话!"
   打的我好累啊!!!

word. Every day I thought about post-
cards. My holidays passed quickly, but I

Lesson 59 In or out ?进来还是出去?
Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out ! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.

Lesson 60The future 扑算未来
At a village fair, I decided to visit a fortune-teller called Madam Bellinsky. I went into her tent and she told me to sit down. After I had given her some money,she looked into a crystal ball and said: 'A relation of yours is coming to see you. She will be arriving this evening and intends to stay for a few days. The moment you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise. A woman you know well will rush towards you. She will speak to you and then she will lead you away from this place. That is all.'
As soon as I went outside, I forgot all about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried towards me. 'Where have you been hiding ?' she asked impatiently. 'Your sister will be here in less than an hour and we must be at the station to meet her. We are late already.' As she walked away, I followed her out of the fair.
在一个乡村集市上,我决定去拜访一位称作别林斯基夫人的算命人.我走进她的帐篷,她叫我坐下.我给了她一些钱后,她便查看着一个水晶球说道:"您的一个亲戚就要来看您了.她将于今天傍晚到达,并准备住上几天.您一走出帐篷,就会大吃一惊.一位您很熟的女人将向您冲来.她会对您说点什么,然后带您离开这个地方.就是这些."
我一走出帐篷,就把别林斯基夫人给我算卦的事忘得一干二净了,因为我的妻子正匆匆向我跑来."您躲到哪儿去了?"她不耐烦地问,"再有不到一个小时你姐姐就要到这儿了,我们得去车站接她.现在就已经晚了."当她走开时,我也跟着她出了集市.
