Part 1 Let's Talk on Line! 網(wǎng)上聊天

Dialogue Script 1 對話原文1

Anne: Where did you meet Susan?

Joe: I met him through a computer bulletin board.

Anne: Oh, really, what bulletin board?

Joe: It was one I ud at the local Internet Café called the E-life.

Anne: I've heard about that, but I've never tried it.

Joe: You ought to. One dollar buys you 15 minutes of computer time. A "chat s

sion" links you with other guys on the network.

Anne: I have no desire to talk on a network with a bunch of strangers.

Joe: That's the whole point. All your inhibitions disappear becau you can't e th

e other person. This network allows you to talk to people whom you normally woul

dn't talk to.

Anne: I just want a private conversation with one other person.

Joe: You can do that. A private ssion lets you talk alone. This online-chat progra

m lets you talk about anything with everyone, without prejudice becau you can't

e them.

Anne: Well, maybe I'll tag along and watch how you talk.

講解：

1. 這段對話中Joe和 Anne在談?wù)摼W(wǎng)上聊天的事。Joe在網(wǎng)站公告欄上遇見了他的女朋友

Susan。他也極力推薦Anne到網(wǎng)上去聊天。a computer bulletin board 就是網(wǎng)站的公告

欄，那我們平常所說的BBS，就是電子布告欄系統(tǒng) (It's a system that enables urs to

nd or read messages that are of general interest and addresd to no particular

person.) 電子布告欄可以給網(wǎng)站的所有用戶發(fā)送信息。

2. Joe 是在一家網(wǎng)吧上網(wǎng)的，這里用的是Internet Café。

3. Anne說只聽說過網(wǎng)上聊天，但從來沒有試過。Joe說You ought to，這個(gè)ought to相

當(dāng)于should，應(yīng)該... ...，但是程度比should強(qiáng)，就是非要做某事不可。那You ought to

try it. 就是你一定要試試。

4. buy someone something 給某人買某物。例如：I will buy you a concert ticket. 我送

你一張演唱會(huì)的票。

5. A “chat ssion” 就是網(wǎng)站上聊天室那部分內(nèi)容。a bunch of strangers 一群陌生人。

a bunch of還有一串的意思，比如 a bunch of grapes 一串葡萄。

6. That's the whole point. 要的就是這樣。point在這里是“意義、目的”的意思，例如：W

hat's the point of doing this again and again? 這樣反復(fù)做有什么意義？I got your poi

nt. 我知道你的想法了。

7. All your inhibitions disappear becau you can't e the other person. 所有的顧

慮都消失了，因?yàn)榭床灰妼Ψ降哪槨ave a private conversation with one other perso

n. 跟一個(gè)人進(jìn)行私人對話。

8. tag along 用在口語當(dāng)中是尾隨, 緊緊跟隨的意思，Anne想跟Joe去網(wǎng)吧看看網(wǎng)上聊天

是怎么回事。

Dialogue Script 2 對話原文2

Joe: That's fine with me. But we'll have to get there early. After , there's alw

ays a long waiting line.

Anne: Is it that popular?

Joe: Welcome to the 21st century!

Anne: Okay, okay. We're there tonight. So what does it cost?

Joe: One dollar buys 15 minutes of computer time. This talk isn't cheap.

Anne: I don't know. I'll feel funny talking through a computer.

Joe: Then you've got to figure out a cool name for that.

Anne: Well, how about Cinderella?

Joe: Sounds good. I guarantee you can talk to girls who would never talk to you if

they saw your face.

Anne: What's that suppod to mean?

Joe: Well, look in the mirror.

講解：

1. 這里Anne 決定跟Joe 去網(wǎng)吧上網(wǎng)聊天。Joe說要早一點(diǎn)去，否則就沒有機(jī)器了。Ther

e's always a long waiting line. 排長隊(duì)等候，就是說人很多。

2. Anne還不相信，問Is it that popular? 有那么火嗎？這里that修飾了一個(gè)形容詞 ，表

示“那么”，在口語當(dāng)中很常用。例如：The movie is not that bad. 那部電影沒有那么糟糕。

3. Joe說Welcome to the 21st century!表面上看是“歡迎來到21世紀(jì)！”其實(shí)是嘲笑Ann

e好象是從過去來到21世紀(jì)的，很土。類似的還有 “Welcome to the earth！”，歡迎來到

地球，是說某人很怪，象外星人一樣，但是突然有一天變的正常了，就可以這么說。

4. 上網(wǎng)聊天還要起一個(gè)比較吸引人的名字，you've got to figure out a cool name for t

hat. Anne起了一個(gè)網(wǎng)名叫Cinderella，就是灰姑娘。

5. Joe也同意，但是他還不忘跟Anne開玩笑，他說I guarantee you can talk to girls w

ho would never talk to you if they saw your face. 我保證那些看見你本人都不會(huì)搭理

你的男生都會(huì)跟你聊天的。Anne不服氣地問到，What's that suppod to mean? 你是什

么意思？Joe把玩笑開到底，look in the mirror. 自己照鏡子看看吧。也就是說他開玩笑說

Anne是一個(gè)“恐龍 ”。
