法語(yǔ)考試
Listen to the tape then answer this question. How long did the exam last?
聽錄音,然后回答問(wèn)題。 考試持續(xù)了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間?
GARY: How was the exam, Richard?
RICHARD: Not too bad.
I think I passed in
English and Mathematics.
The questions were very easy.
How about you, Gary?
GARY: The English and Maths papers
weren't easy enough for me.
I hope I haven't failed.
RICHARD: I think I failed the French
paper.
I could answer sixteen of
the question.
They were very easy.
But I couldn't answer the rest.
They were too difficult for me.
GARY: French test are awful, aren't
they?
RICHARD: I hate them.
I'm sure I've got a low mark.
GARY: Oh, cheer up!
perhaps we didn't to do badly.
The guy next to me
Wrote his name
at the top of the paper.
RICHARD: Yes?
GARY: Then he sat there
and looked at it for three
hours! He didn't write a word!

加 里:考試考得怎樣,理查德?
理查德:不算太壞,我想我的英語(yǔ)和數(shù)學(xué) 及格了。題目很容易。加里, 你怎么樣?
加 里:英語(yǔ)和數(shù)學(xué)試題對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)不很容易。 我希望別不及格。
理查德:我想我的法語(yǔ)及不了格,我能回答 其中的16道題。這些題很容易。 但我回答不出其作的題。那些題對(duì) 我來(lái)說(shuō)太難了。
加 里:法語(yǔ)太可怕了,你說(shuō)呢?
理查德:我討厭法語(yǔ)。我的法語(yǔ)成績(jī)肯定 很低。
