生活英语情景主题:第一印象(2)

真是大千世界无奇不有，睡睡觉居然脸被一只狗咬掉了...我们来看看下面的对话

J: Did you see the picture of the guy on the front page of the newspaper this morning?
M: No, I haven’t had a chance to read the paper yet.
J: You’ve got to see it. It’s an unbelievable picture!
M: What’s so interesting about it?
J: well, this guy fell asleep on the sofa and when he woke up, half of his face had been bitten off!
M: what! How did that happen?
J: they think his dog was trying to wake him up and couldn’t, so ended up biting him in his face.
M: wow. What does his face look like now?
J: it looks pretty frightening. He doesn’t have any lips, so all you can see are his gums and teeth. Most of his nose and chin are missing too.
M: what did he look like before his dog bit his face off?
J: he was actually quite handsome. What a shame.
M: what’s he going to do?
J: it said that he’s hoping to get a face transplant, but until then, he’s looking forward to Halloween so he isn’t the only one wearing a mask.
J: 你看到今天早上报纸头版登的那个人的照片了吗？
M: 没有。我还没有机会看报纸呢。
J: 你应该看看。真是张令人难以置信的照片。
M: 有什么特别的地方？
J: 嗯，这个人在沙发上睡着了，醒来之后发现自己半边都被吃了。
M: 什么？这是怎么回事啊？
J: 大家认为是他的狗想叫他起床，但是没叫醒，最后只好咬他的脸了。
M: 哇。那他的脸现在是什么样子啊？
J: 看起来非常恐怖。他的嘴唇都没了，你能直接看到他的牙齿和牙龈。大部分的鼻子和下巴都没了。
M: 被狗咬掉脸之前他长得怎么样？
J: 其实挺帅的。真是太遗憾了。
M: 那他现在打算怎么办？
J: 据说他希望能做个面部的移植手术，但在那之前，他最盼望过万圣节。这样，他就不是唯一一个戴面具的人了。
