基礎聽力精選【31】

Richard和女孩談得很開心，竟忘記了和太太約定的時間。輪船的汽笛聲提醒了他事件，於是他急匆匆和女孩告別，結果還是遲到了，可比遲到更糟的事還在後頭呢……

　　（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.

　　理查德：我知道。我知道。我真的很抱歉。我把裝底片的旅行袋遺忘在渡船上。等我廻去找的時候,船已經開走了。 我浪費了一整天的工作成果。
