Conversation One

W: You're going to give a short speech of thanks for the speaker this evening, aren't you, Bill?

M: Yes.

W: You don't sound very enthusiastic.

It's not that bad, is it?

M: No, I don't mind really.

But I can never forget the first speech of thanks I did.

W: Why? What happened?

M: Well, I was in my early twenties.

I joined the local history society.

W: Yes.

M: Anyway, I went along to a lecture by a Miss Bligh.

W: Oh. Do go on.

M: She was going to talk with slides about our town amid eighteenth century.

She'd just published a book on the subject, which was reckoned to be quite good.

So I went along.

When I arrived, the secretary asked me if I could give the speech of thanks.

Rather stupidly, I said yes.

W: We've all done it.

M: Anyway, from that point on, I was scared.

What should I say?

I decided to make notes during the lecture and refer to interesting parts and thank her on behalf of the society.

In fact, by the time Miss Bligh stood up to talk, I was feeling much better.

But she was so nervous that she kept forgetting what to say, and she spoke almost in a whisper.

People at the back kept calling out "we can't hear."

It was embarrassing.

W: I can imagine it.

M: At least the slides were good, that is, until the bulb in the projector blew.

And she had to finish the talk with no illustrations.

W: So what did you say in your speech of thanks?

M: What can you say?

You have to be polite.

I mentioned the interesting facts, referred to the excellent slides, and then finished up by saying "we'd all like to thank Miss Bligh for blowing out her slides."

W: Oh, no.

M: I felt terrible.

I tried to apologize, not very successfully.

W: And the speech of thanks this evening?

M: I'll write down exactly what I'm going to say and read it carefully.

Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

1. What is the man asked to do this evening?

2. What do we learn about the man?

3. What does the man say about Miss Bligh?

4. What does the man say about the first time he gave a speech of thanks?

对话一

比尔，你今晚要为演讲者致感谢词，对吗？

没错。

你听起来兴致不高。

没那么糟，不是吗？

不，我不介意。

但我永远忘不了第一次致感谢词的经历。

为什么？发生了什么？

好吧，我那时才二十小几岁。

我加入了当地历史学会。

然后呢。

总之，我去了布莱小姐的演讲。

继续说。

她要用幻灯片讲我们镇子十八世纪的事儿。

关于这个话题她当时刚出版了一本书，反响不错。

所以我去了。

到那儿时，秘书问我能否致感谢词。

太蠢了，我答应了。

我们都干过。

总之，从那一刻起，我很害怕。

我该说些什么？

我决定演讲过程中做些笔记，谈一些有趣的部分，再代表学会感谢她。

事实上，布莱小姐起身演讲时，我感觉好多了。

但她太紧张了，一直忘词，讲话声音也太小了。

后排观众一直喊着"我们听不到"。

太尴尬了。

我能想象得出来。

至少幻灯片还不错，直到投影仪的灯泡爆了。

然后她得在没图片的情况下讲完。

所以你感谢词都说了些什么？

你还能说什么呢？

你得礼貌。

我谈了些有趣的事实，谈到了幻灯片很棒，然后结束时说了"我们都很感谢布莱小姐吹炸了幻灯片"。

哦，不。

我感觉糟透了。

我试着道歉，但效果不好。

那么今晚的感谢词呢？

我会完全写下要说的话，然后仔细读出来。

请根据你刚刚听到的对话回答问题1至问题4。

问题1：男士被要求今晚做什么？

问题2：关于男士，我们知道了些什么？

问题3：男士关于布莱小姐说了些什么？

问题4：男士关于第一次致感谢词说了些什么？
