1． I Can’t Believe My Eyes 我简直不能相信眼前的事实 

 

A: I can’t believe my eyes! 

 

B: Well, if it isn’t Mike Li! 

 

A: Jim Wang! It’s nice to see you again! It’s been a long time. 

 

B: You know, Mike, I’ve been meaning to call you for a long time. I’m so glad I ran into you today. 

 

A: Me, too. How have you been doing? 

 

B: Super. How about yourself? 

 

A: Pretty good. I can’t complain. 

 

B: So tell me, the last time I saw you, you were planning to go abroad to study, weren’t you? 

 

A: Yes, I guess I was. But as it turned out, I changed my mind. I decided not to go after all. 

 

B: Oh, really? But if I remember correctly, you were intent on going to California. Whatever made you change your mind? I thought you were accepted to Stanford. 

 

A: Well, it’s a long story, and I don’t want to bore you with all the details. But what it boils down to is that I decided that going to Stanford wasn’t a very good idea. I decided to go to Beijing University instead. I want to save my money and start my own business after graduation. 

 

B: Really? That’s very interesting. 

 

对话二：

A: And how about you? The last time we talked, didn’t you tell me you were going to open your own restaurant and hotel? 

 

B: That’s right. I was. But things turned out differently than I expected. 

 

A: But you seemed so determined to do that. What happened? 

 

B: Well, it’s very complicated, and I’m sure you don’t want to know all the details. But as it turned out, I decided that opening my restaurant just wasn’t for me. So I decided to stay at my old job instead. 

 

A: Well, a lot sure has happened since we last saw each other. 

 

B: You can say that again! You know, we should try to stay in touch. 

 

A: Yes, we should. Let’s have lunch together sometime soon. 

 

B: That’s a good idea. I’ll call you. 

 

A: OK. Take care now. 

 

B: You, too.
