英语听力练习下载：清晰还是困惑 Laurent： So I'm confused. Who's David again? 劳伦： 所以我被弄糊涂了。谁又是大卫？ Bethany： David is my roommate's friend's brother. Haven't you been listening? 伯大尼： 大卫是我室友的朋友的哥哥。你一直没有在听吗？ Laurent： I have, but how am I supposed to keep all of these people straight? Your stories are always so convoluted, with too many twists and turns. Why don't you try telling a straightforward story for once? 劳伦： 我在听，但我该如何记住所有这些人呢？你的故事总是那么复杂，充满各种曲折。你为什么不试着一次只讲一个简单的故事呢？ Bethany： My stories are only confusing for people who don't pay attention or who can't deal with complexity. 伯大尼： 只有那些不专心的或者头脑简单的人才会觉得我的故事令人困惑。 Laurent： Complexity? Is that what you call going off on tangents and including completely irrelevant information? Half the time the end of the story contradicts the beginning! 劳伦： 复杂？你所谓的复杂难道就是漫无边际地扯开话题，聊一些完全不相干的事情？绝大部分时候，故事的开头跟结尾会自相矛盾！ Bethany： You just don't appreciate intricate plots. My stories are crystal clear to anyone who pays attention. Good stories have lots of detail. Just ask Shakespeare. 伯大尼： 你根本就不懂得欣赏错综复杂的情节。只要认真听，任何人都会觉得我的故事一清二楚。好故事都有大量的情节描述。看看莎士比亚的作品就明白了。 Laurent： Talk about delusions of grandeur! When you start comparing yourself to Shakespeare, it's time for you to seek professional help! 劳伦： 你太狂妄自大了！当你开始跟莎士比亚作比较时，就该去寻求专业协助了！ 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/30f6a9b1de3383c4bb4cf7ec4afe04a1b071b0e5.html
