Part Three
句型活用
Commenting on Movies谈论电影
1.情景会话
KEVIN: I just saw “ Something About Mary” last night. It was hilarious3
.
LILY: David took me to it last week. I thought it was a little sick.
KEVIN: What do you mean “sick”? It was really funny, don't you think?
LILY: It was entertaining in some ways. But in general I didn't like it.
KEVIN: Why not?
LILY: I just think the humor was too gross4. There were too many disgusting
things in it.
I don't think a comedy has to have so much smut to be funny.
KEVIN: It wasn't a dirty movie. There wasn't even any nudity.
LILY: No, you're right. But nudity doesn't bother me. What bothered me wer
e all the jokes about masturbation, stuff like that. It was too sick.
KEVIN: Oh, you are too conservative5. It's just realistic.
LILY: I don't think it's realistic. I thought it was sick. Why does a movie
have to use that kind of humor?
KEVIN: People think it's funny.
LILY: But it was the most disgusting comedy I've ever seen. And it was a bi
g budget movie too. It wasn't just a low-budget film you can see on cable TV.
KEVIN: I told you, you are conservative.
LILY: I'm not really conservative. But some new movies are just 〖WTHX〗v
ulgar〖WTBZ〗. If they become popular, it proves that people are vulgar6.
KEVIN: I'm really surprised at this. I didn't think you were like this.
LILY: I'm not what you think, Kevin. Did you see the movie “Everyone's Nig
htlife”?
KEVIN: Yes. I think it's good.
LILY: That was a movie about sex too.
KEVIN: 〖WTHX〗I agree. But what do you think of that one? 〖WTBZ〗
LILY: I thought it was excellent.
KEVIN: Yes, I suppose.
LILY: So maybe you can see now that I'm not conservative. But I have a sen
se of value. “Something About Mary” depends on gross humor. But “Everyone's
Nightlife” depends on drama. They are both about sex, but they are different.
KEVIN: Hmm. I will have to think about it.
Bungee Jumping 蹦极
1.情景会话
SANDY: What's your number?
FOGGY: I'm number seven. What about you?
SANDY: Five.
FOGGY: Hah hah! You have to go before me. Hah hah hah!
SANDY: You think it's funny. I'm terrified.
FOGGY: Don't worry. It's safe.
SANDY: But I've never jumped off anything in my life. The highest thing I've ju
mped off is my bed. I'm scared.
FOGGY: You are the one who wanted to come here, Sandy. You should enjoy it.
SANDY: I guess I'm adventuresome, but then I'm scared too.
FOGGY: I'm not too scared. But I've done sky diving before.
SANDY: Really? When?
FOGGY: I did it about two years ago, in Los Angles. It was great.
SANDY: Weren't you scared?
FOGGY: Of course. Bu t if you go with an established company, you're usually saf
e.
SANDY: Is this bungee company established?
FOGGY: Well, I know it has been in business at least a year.
And only four people have died.
SANDY: Four people?
FOGGY: I'm just kidding. Don't be so nervous.
SANDY: I don't like jokes like that. I have heard people died bungee jumping.
FOGGY: But now things are better.
SANDY: I remember one woman died because she lied about her weight.
They set the equipment for a lighter7 person, and she hit the gro
und.
FOGGY: I've read about that one too. That was in a kind of fair, I think. In Fl
orida.
SANDY: I'm glad we're over water here.
FOGGY: Just don't lie about your weight, or you will come up with fish in your
mouth.

SANDY: Oh, my God! I can't believe I'm going to do this.
