美語情景對話 第55期:準備出門 Night Out
Todd: Clare, what are your plans for tonight?
克萊爾，你今晚做什麼？Clare: Well, tonight, first of all I'm going to head back home and take a nap because I've got a big night ahead of me. So, I'm going to be going out quite late, about 11:00 so I'll need my energy, but unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to have much of a rest because it will be probably half past seven (7:30) by the time I get home and I need to start getting ready at about 9:00 so, an hour and a half max.
今晚，首先我要家睡會兒覺，因爲我今天要熬夜到很晚。我要很晚出趟門，大約是晚上11點，因此我需要儲存能量，但不幸的是，我不認爲我會有時間休息，因爲我大概會7點半到家，大約9點鐘開始準備出門，所以我最多隻有1個半小時。Todd: Actually, what do you do to get ready when you go out?
實際上，你準備出門都要做什麼？
Clare: Well, have a shower, get changed, and then, play some games.
洗個澡，換身衣服，然後再玩兒會兒遊戲。Todd: OK. What games do you play?
你都玩什麼遊戲？Clare: Well, we've recently acquired a pack of giant cards, so we'll be playing some card games with the giant cards.
我們最近新得了一副giant牌，所以我們用它來玩紙牌遊戲。Todd: So, can you like, give a specific game that you play?
你能具體說個紙牌遊戲嗎？Clare: Well, I don't know if you know the game "Play Your Cards Right"
你知不知道一個名叫“Play Your Cards Right”的遊戲？Todd: No, no, how do you play?
不知道，怎麼玩？Clare: It's actually a TV game show. We take it from that. And it's very simple. You have a row of cards that you can't see. And you turn over the first one, and you have to say whether the next card is going to be higher or lower. Very simple, so, so you turn over a 10, and you say lower, and it's a 6, so you carry on. You say, "higher" and it's a 4, and if you're as you can imagine, it's very easy to go wrong.
實際上這個遊戲是電視節目上的。我們從那兒學來的。這個遊戲十分簡單。在你面前有一排紙牌，但你不能看。你要翻開第一張，然後預言下一張是比這張點兒大還是點兒小。很簡單，如果你第一張翻開是10點，你預言下一張點數更低，如果翻開是6，點兒更小了，說對了則繼續遊戲。如果你說的是“點兒數更高”翻開卻是4，那你就預言錯了，可以想象這個遊戲很容易說錯。Todd: Yeah. It sounds like a good game. Well, have a good time tonight and good luck in getting ready.
是的。聽起來是個有趣的遊戲。祝你今晚過得愉快，祝你好運。
