聽力每日練習(xí) listen 3753 Are?you?still?coming?to?my?place?for?dinner
1-- are you still coming to my place for dinner tomorrow night?
2-- of course. Is the dinner still on?
1-- yes, I was just wondering how you and your roommate were planning on coming to my place.
2-- we were planning on walking both ways since the weather is still nice.
1-- that's what I thought you would do. Listen, I live in a bit of a rough neighborhood. It's just down the street from all the bars. You probably don't want to be walking around after dark.
2-- it can't be that bad.
1-- I wish it wasn't, but there is actually a lot of crime and prostitution around here.
2-- really? I never would have guessed. The criminals must only come out in the evenings, because I've never noticed anything strange when I've been at your house in the daytime.
1-- do me a favor, and take a taxi. It'd make me feel a lot better.
2-- ok, we will. How do you get around in the evenings?
1-- when I first moved in, I walked everywhere. But within a week, I had my purse stolen—just a block away from the police station! Now, I always take public transportation.
2-- has anything else happened to you?
1-- nothing else has happened to me, but I have seen quite a few fights on the streets after the bars close.
2-- well, we'll be careful. Thanks for letting me know.

譯文：
1--你明天晚上還會(huì)來(lái)我家吃飯嗎？
2--當(dāng)然去.你的晚餐會(huì)還開嗎?
1--開,我只是想知道你和你的室友打算怎么來(lái)我家？
2--最近天氣很不錯(cuò)，所以我們打算來(lái)回都步行。
1--我猜你們就是這么打算的。聽著，我住的地方附近有點(diǎn)亂。緊挨著一條全是酒吧的街。所以，天黑以后你大概不想在附近步行。
2--不會(huì)那么糟糕吧。
1--我也希望不會(huì)，可是實(shí)際上這附近的確是犯罪活動(dòng)和賣淫活動(dòng)的多發(fā)地段.
2--真的??？我從來(lái)沒(méi)想到會(huì)這樣。犯罪事件一定都是在晚上才發(fā)生的吧。因?yàn)槲乙郧鞍滋烊ツ慵业臅r(shí)候從來(lái)沒(méi)發(fā)現(xiàn)附近有什么奇怪的地方。
1--就算幫我個(gè)忙，你們還是打車來(lái)吧。這樣我能覺(jué)得放心些。
2--好，我們會(huì)的。那你晚上怎么在附近活動(dòng)呢？
1--我剛搬進(jìn)來(lái)的時(shí)候，到哪兒都是走著去. 可是不到一個(gè)星期,我的錢包就被偷了---要知道只隔著一個(gè)街區(qū)就是警察局了!現(xiàn)在,我通常都乘坐公共交通工具.
2--你還遇到過(guò)什么其它事情嗎?
1--我本人是沒(méi)再發(fā)生過(guò)什么了,可是我在街上看到過(guò)幾次打架,都是酒吧打烊以后.
2--哦,我們會(huì)小心的.謝謝你告訴我這些.
