aHello! What are you reading about in the newspaper?
你好!你在看什么呢?
bHello! I was exhausted form studying, so I decided to read the newspaper to relax. Unfortunately, the news is so depressing. There has been another murder in the city center. I’m shocked that the police haven't caught the killer yet.
aPeople are starting to get frightened by it. Everyone will be relieved when they finally catch the murder.
大家对此开始感到害怕。只有抓住了凶手,人们才能安心。
bYou mean if they catch the murderer. I’m scared stiff about going into the city center at night.
听你的意思,即使他们抓住凶手了。我晚上也不敢去市中心。
aThere must have been some good news in the newspaper. I can’t believe that none of the news stories make you happy or excited.
报纸上一定也有好消息吧。我不信没有让人高兴和兴奋的好消息。
bWell, there was one good piece of news. You remember the local girl who was dying of a rare blood disease?
恩,有一条好消息。你还记得那名得了少见的血液病而死去的女孩吗?
aYes. Her parents were raising money to have her treated in the united states.
记得,她的父母正在筹钱,准备带她到美国接受治疗。
bWell, they’ve got the money and she’s going tomorrow for treatment.
嗯,他们已经筹到钱了,明天就要启程了。
aI’m so happy for the family! They must be very relieved and excited about that.
真为这一家感到高兴!他们一定感到很安慰并且很兴奋。
bI’m sure they are. Oh, and a local man won the lottery. I’m so jealous! I wish it were me! I buy a lottery ticket every week and I’m amazed that I haven’t even won a small prize yet. It’s so unfair!
