基础听力精选【31】

Richard和女孩谈得很开心，竟忘记了和太太约定的时间。轮船的汽笛声提醒了他事件，于是他急匆匆和女孩告别，结果还是迟到了，可比迟到更糟的事还在后头呢……

　　提示：　　terrific 非常好的，漂亮的
　　ferry 渡轮（Richard先前就是在这里拍照及与人交谈的）
　　Staten Island Ferry 这艘渡轮的名字
　　lost-and-found office 失物招领处

　　（Marilyn is Richard's wife, Susan is his sister, and Robbie is his brother）
　　Marilyn:It's six o'clock. Where's my husband? I was expecting him here at five forty-five.
　　Susan:Don't worry. The traffic is very heavy at this hour.
　　Marilyn:I know. But we're going to be late for dinner.
　　Susan:I'll take this green sweater. I like the color on me, don't you?
　　Marilyn:I think it looks terrific on you.
　　Richard:I'm sorry I'm so late. I had a really bad day.
　　Marilyn:It's ten after six. We're late.
　　Susan:Robbie's cooking tonight, and dinner's at six thirty.
　　Richard:I know. I know. I'm really sorry. I left my bag of film on the ferry. I went back for it, but the ferry was gone. I lost a whole day's work.
　　Marilyn:I'll call the Staten Island Ferry lost-and-found office.
　　Richard:I didn't think of that. Thanks.

　　玛瑞琳：已经六点了。 我丈夫怎么还没来?我们约好了五点四十五在这儿会面的。
　　苏珊：别担心。这个时间交通很忙。
　　玛瑞琳：我知道。但我们晚餐可要迟到了。
　　苏珊：我买这件绿色毛衣吧。 我觉得这种颜色较适合我,你说呢?
　　玛瑞琳：我觉得你穿上它好极了。
　　理查德：对不起我迟到这么久。 今天真是糟透了。
　　玛瑞琳：现在是六点十分。我们晚了。
　　苏珊：今晚Robbie做饭,晚餐六点半开始。
　　理查德：我知道。我知道。我真的很抱歉。我把装底片的旅行袋遗忘在渡船上。等我回去找的时候,船已经开走了。 我浪费了一整天的工作成果。
　　玛瑞琳：我来打电话给Staten Island渡轮失物招领处。
　　理查德：我倒没有想到这个法子。谢了。
