Todd: Are you OK?
May: I'm fine. I'm just so touched by the sad story.
Todd: So I can say now that you must have enjoyed the opera. Which scene is your favorite?
May: I love them all. But if I had to name one as the best, I would say it's the ending.
Todd: What's it about? You know, I couldn't help falling asleep.
May: Did you? I didn't notice that. But still you should know it, for you have seen it with Laura before.
Todd: I guess I've done the same thing last time I was here with her, too. I mean falling asleep. For me, this one is not that attractive.
May: Then I doubt if you like operas at all.
Todd: Yes. I like Carmen very much. But I don't mind if you want to tell me about this one.
May: OK, then. The man was old and he was visiting his wife's grave, with a rose in his hand. When he got there, he saw someone already put a rose on her grave.
Todd: Very impressive. And I do like the leading actress who has an amazing voice.
May: Me, too. There was always a good round of applause every time she sings.
Todd: Yes, the applause! That was what kept waking me up during the show.
May: And it's been such a faultless performance with the perfect lighting, and music. Just amazing!
Todd: No doubt it's not a simple thing to put on a “phantom show”.
May: Exactly.

托德：你還好嗎？
阿美：我沒事。我只是被那個悲傷的故事感動了。
托德：那么我敢說你一定很喜歡這場歌劇。你最喜歡哪一幕呢？
阿美：我都喜歡。但是如果一定要說一幕最喜歡的，我覺得是結(jié)尾的那一幕。
托德：它是怎樣的？你知道，我忍不住睡著了（所有沒有看到）。
阿美：是嗎？我沒有注意到。但是你還是應(yīng)該知道的啊，因為你以前和羅拉一起看過。
托德：我才我上回合她來這里的時候也做了相同的事情。我是指睡著的事。對我來講，這出戲不是那么有吸引力。
阿美：那么我就懷疑你是否喜歡歌劇了。
托德：喜歡。我非常喜歡歌劇“卡門”。但是我也不介意你告訴我這部歌劇的內(nèi)容。
阿美：那好吧。那個男人老了，他去他妻子的墳前，手拿一枝玫瑰，但是當(dāng)他到那里的時候，他發(fā)現(xiàn)已經(jīng)有人在她的墳前放了一枝玫瑰。
托德：非常感人啊。我確實很喜歡那個女主角，她的聲音非常棒。
阿美：我也喜歡她。她每次演唱的時候，都會有一陣特別熱烈的掌聲。
托德：對了，掌聲。就是它在演出的過程中不停地把我吵醒。
阿美：這是一場完美的演出，配有完美的燈光和音樂。簡直太精彩了。
托德：毫無疑問，要上演一場“幽靈秀”一定不是一件簡單的事情。
阿美：沒錯。

Anyway, I didn't really know about it, because I fell asleep several times. It was the applause that kept waking me up during the show. But I did like the leading actress, because she had an amazing voice.
