Todd: Oh, sorry, we are late. How long has the play been on?

Usher: No, even the overture hasn't started yet. There are still 10 minutes left.

Todd: Oops! I forgot that I set forward my watch.

Usher: OK. Have you reserved any seats?

Todd: Yeah. Two seats at the dress circle. What should I do to get in?

Usher: Go to the barrier and show your tickets to get in.

Todd: How can I find my seat? You know it's quite a big theater and it will be really crowded then.

Usher: We have ushers to show you to your seats.

Todd: May I take any photographs during the show?

Usher: Sorry, but I'm afraid not. And make sure to set your cell phone to vibrant state.

Todd: Sure. Where is the entrance?

Usher: Right over there, around the corner. See? People are already lined up.

Todd: Oh, stupid question. Anything else?

Usher: Nope. Here are the programmes. Enjoy the performance.

Todd: Thanks. Can't wait to listen to the fantasia!

聽看學(xué)

托德：哦，對不起，我們遲到了。演出開始多久了？

招待員：沒有，連序幕都沒有開始呢。還有十分鐘。

托德：噢！我忘記把手表撥快了。

招待員：沒事。你們預(yù)定座位了嗎？

托德：是的。兩個前排的位置。我該從哪里進(jìn)去?。?br />
招待員：去那邊檢票處，出示一下您的票就可以進(jìn)去了。

托德：我怎么才能找到我的座位?。磕阒?，這是一個相當(dāng)大的劇院，待會兒一定會很擁擠的。

招待員：我們有引座員引領(lǐng)您去您的座位。

托德：演出時我可以拍照片嗎？

招待員：對不起，恐怕不行。另外，一定要把您的手機(jī)調(diào)成震動狀態(tài)。

托德：好的。入口在哪里？

招待員：就在那邊，轉(zhuǎn)角那里?？吹?jīng)]？已經(jīng)有人在排隊了。

托德：哦，我的問題好傻啊。還有別的事情嗎？

招待員：沒有了。這是節(jié)目單。祝您愉快。

托德：謝謝。等不及想聽狂想曲了。
