英语PK台 第209期:重温迪士尼经典动画王国

 Dialogue 1

Xiao Gao: Hey, Jingjing,do you wanna swing by tonight? I wanted to reminisce on old times by watching some classic Disney movies.

小高：嗨，京晶，你今儿晚上想到我家来坐会儿吗？我想怀怀旧看几部迪斯尼的经典影片。

Jingjing: Oh, cool! I'm so down! I haven't seen them in ages. Which ones are you gonna watch?

京晶：哦，太棒了，我要来，我已经好久没有看那些片子了，你想要看哪几部？

Xiao Gao: I was thinking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs¹.

小高：我想看《白雪公主和七个小矮人》。

Jingjing: That's an oldie. Why do you wanna watch that one?

京晶：哦，那可真是部老片子，你为什么想看这一部？

Xiao Gao: Well, just like you said, it's an oldie. Actually, it's one of the first animated² features that Disney came out with back in 1937.

小高：嗯，就像你说的，它是一部老片子，确切来说它上映于1937年，是迪斯尼最早制作的动画片之一了。

Jingjing: Then I'm gonna bring Pinocchio which came out three years later in 1940. I love it when Pinocchio's nose gets bigger every time he tells a fib.

京晶：那我就带《木偶奇遇记》过来吧，这部片子是在3年之后的1940年上映的，我特别喜欢看匹诺曹撒谎的时候鼻子变长的样子。

Xiao Gao: Yeah, I'm glad that doesn't happen to the rest of us. Anyways, I'll see you later. Don't forget to bring the movie!

小高：哦，幸好这种事不会在现实生活中发生，不管怎么样，回头见吧，不要忘了带电影来哈。

Jingjing: I'm so excited!This is gonna be a blast from the past!

京晶：我太高兴了，今晚将是一个愉快的怀旧之夜！
