DIALOG 22
LEARNING A LANGUAGE
laurance--I give up!I simply can’t learn French!
soony--Why do you say that?I think you’re making a lot of progress.
laurance--No,I’m not.I try and try and I still can’t speak it very well.
soony--Learning any language takes a lot of effort.But don’t give up.Why don’t we practice those dialogs together?
laurance--Good idea.That just might help.
注解:
1)give up=stop trying,不再做努力。与 keep up trying 是一对反义词组。
2)make progress:是固定搭配。意思是取得进步/进展
3)take a lot of effort:take在这里有“需要”“花费”的意思。

DIALOG 23
BORROWING A BOOK
laurance--Whose is this?
soony--It’s mine.Why do you ask?
laurance--Could I borrow it?I’ve been wanting to read it.
soony--Be my guest,but I warn you.It’s not as good as they say.
laurance--What’s the matter with it?
soony--Well,for one thing the plot is highly imporbable and for another,the characters seem more like paper dolls than people.
laurance--That’s strange.Usually that author does a good job of charcterization.I’ve read three of his books and thought they were all well done.
soony--I’ve been a fan of his for a long time too,but he really flubbed on this one!
laurance--What did the reviews say?
soony--They were mixed-some good,some bad.My review,bad!
