Elementary ‐ Daily Life ‐ New Guy in Town (C0011)

A: Oh, I don’t know if you've heard, but someone moved into that old house down the road.

B: Yeah, I know. I met the owner of the house yesterday as he was moving in. His name is Armand.

A: Really? What’s he like? You have to fill me in.

B: Actually, he’s a bit strange. I don’t know... I’ve just got a bad feeling about him.

A: Really? Why?

B: Well, yesterday I brought over a housewarming gift, but Armand started acting really weird, and then he practically kicked me out! I tried to, sort of, peek into his house, but everything was so dark inside that I couldn’t really get a good look.The whole thing really creeped me out.

A: Well, you’ll never guess what I saw this morning. A delivery truck pulled into his driveway, and it dropped off a long, rectangular box. It almost looked like a coffin!

B: You see! Why would he...

C: Hello ladies...

B: Ah, Armand! You scared the heck out of me! This is my friend Doris.

C: A pleasure to meet you...If you are not doing anything tonight, I'd like to have you both for dinner. I mean...I'd like to have you both over for dinner.

A:哦，不晓得你听说没，有人住进街尾的那栋老房子里了。

B:是啊，我听说了。昨天他搬进去的时候我遇见他了。他叫阿曼德。

A:真的？他长什么样？你快点告诉我。

B:事实上，他有点怪异。我不知道，我只是对他有一种不好的预感。

A:真的？为什么呀？

B:是这样的，昨天我带了一份乔迁礼过去给他，之后他的行为变得很奇怪，还把我赶了出来！我试着，某种程度上算是偷窥他的房子，但里面太黑了，我都没能好好看清楚。这整件事都吓坏我了。

A:嗯，你猜不到我今天早上看到什么。一辆送货卡车驶入他的车道，然后扔下了一个长方形的木盒，看上去几乎像是一副棺材！

B:你看！为什么他……

C:嗨，女士们……

B:啊！阿曼德！你把我吓死了！这是我的朋友桃瑞丝。

C:很高兴见到你们…… 如果你们今晚没有什么事，我想邀请你们俩过来进餐。我的意思是……我想你们两位都过来。

这期里面B的是英式口音，很难懂，我觉得女孩子讲英式口试总是给我很难听的感觉，一定都不温柔，大家多听几遍，锻炼下听力吧，大概意思能听懂，但是能把克漏字完全无误的填好就困难了
