Dialogue 1
Mark: How's this week treating you, Jingjing?
马克：京晶，这周过得怎么样？
Jingjing: Work's pretty much the same—interesting, and keeping me busy.
京晶：工作还是老样子——很有趣，但也忙得不消停。
Mark: Did you find any of those movies we were talking about last week?
马克：上周我们谈论的那些影片，你找到资源了吗？
Jingjing: I couldn't get the download to work on that one I found. But, I didn't want to come empty-handed. So, I brought a bunch of other movies I've collected over the years.
京晶：找到了一个，但下载不了。但我不想空手而来，索性就带了一堆我多年来搜集的其他影片。
Mark: Wow! Do you mind if I plug this in to my PC?
马克：厉害了！你不介意我把它连上我的电脑吧？
Jingjing: Go ahead. That's what external1 hard drives are for. Just click on the "video" folder2, then "films".
京晶：拷吧。移动硬盘不就是干这个的嘛。你点击“视频”文件夹，然后点击里面的“电影”文件夹。
Mark: Jingjing, you have a lot of war movies. I didn't know you were into those.
马克：京晶，你有很多战争片啊！我之前不知道你对战争片这么感兴趣。
Jingjing: It's my favorite genre3. Not all of those are great movies. But I've seen some of them dozens of times.
京晶：这是我最喜欢的影片类型。不是每部战争片都很精彩。但其中一些我看了好几十遍。
Mark: I'm the same way with war movies. Which one do you like best?
马克：我们对战争片的态度一模一样。那你最喜欢哪部片子？
Jingjing: Saving4 Private Ryan is probably my favorite. I think that's a good one, even for people who don't care much for the genre.
京晶：大概是《拯救大兵瑞恩》吧。我觉得这是一部非常棒的影片，甚至不太爱看战争片的人也会喜欢上这部片子。
Mark: Yeah, I like most war films I see, and like that one a lot.
马克：没错，我看过的大多数战争片我都很喜欢，这部片子更是非常喜欢。
Jingjing: What about you? Do you have a fav?
京晶：那你呢？你有最喜欢的战争片吗？
Mark: Hmm, it keeps changing. I used to like Apocalypse Now. I watched it over and over. Now I can't get into it at all. I still like Enemy at the Gates a lot. All four of the main actors are incredible5.
马克：嗯，我最喜欢的片子总在变。我曾喜欢《现代启示录》。这片子我看过好多遍。但现在，这片子我一点也不爱看了。我仍然非常喜欢《兵临城下》。这片子四位主演的演技简直太棒了。
Jingjing: I haven't seen that one. I don't think it's on there either.
京晶：这片子我还没看过。我想我的电脑里应该也没有。
Mark: I might be able to find it and bring it next week.
马克：我或许能找到这部片子，找到的话，下周给你带来。
Jingjing: Who's in it?
京晶：这片子都谁演的？
Mark: Well, it stars Jude Law as a Russian sniper, and Ed Harris as his enemy.
马克：呃，裘德·洛扮演一名俄罗斯狙击手，艾德·哈里斯扮演他的敌人。
Jingjing: Oh, you had me at Jude Law. He's such a good-looking guy.
京晶：哦，是你劝我去看裘德·洛的。他太帅了。
Mark: Ha ha. That reminds me, we'd better go eat. I'll just leave my PC here to copy the files.
马克：哈哈，我想起来了。我们最好先去吃饭吧。我先把我的电脑留在这复制文件。

Dialogue 2
Jingjing: Do you still wanna talk about war movies over lunch?
京晶：午餐时你还想继续谈论战争片吗？
Mark: Why not? It's something we both like. I'm not really big on gory9 movies. But war movies have to show that sometimes.

马克：哦，这片子的导演是凯瑟琳·毕格罗。我一直想看呢。

京晶：太好了。你正在向你的电脑里复制的影片里就有它。而且，奥斯卡颁奖典礼上，这部片子拿下了包括最佳原创剧本在内的六个奖项。
Mark: Kathryn Bigelow got Best Director for that one. That's how I first heard about it. I loved Point Break—that's one of her earlier films.
马克：凯瑟琳·毕格罗因这部片子获得了最佳导演奖。我第一次听到这部影片时，就是因为这个。我曾经非常喜欢《惊爆点》这部片子，是她早期拍摄的一部影片。
Jingjing:Yeah, well this one has a different tone12. Like the Reader, you'll want to set aside the two hours to really watch it.
京晶：是的，但这部片子的调调跟那部不同。就像《朗读者》，你想要单独花两个小时的时间，来认真看这部片子。
Mark:Got it. I was glad I watched the Reader. Thanks for suggesting so many movies!
马克：明白了。我很高兴我看过《朗读者》这部片子。感谢你向我推荐这么多影片！
