DIALOG 38

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

(Sound of piano playing)

laurance--Listen!Somebody's playing the piano.

soony--Yeah,it sounds nice,doesn't it?I wish I

could play a musical instrument.

laurance--Don't you play the violin?

soony--No,but my sister does.Actually,she's pretty

good at it.

laurance--I took flute lessons for a couple of years,

but I never learned to play very well.I guess

I don't have any musical talent.

soony--Oh,that's not true.You sing very well.I can't

even do that!

===========================================================

注解：

1)play the piano:说演奏某种乐器时,乐器前要加定冠词,下句中还有play the violin.

2)It sounds nice...:sound是系动词,nice是表语.此句与you look happy是同样的结构.

3)wish用以表示愿望,其宾语从句中的动词必须要虚拟语气.

4)musical instrument:乐器.

5)She's...good at it:be good at sth.是擅长做某事.

6)took flute lessons:原意是上笛子课.

7)talent:天资,才能.

参考译文：

laurance--你听!有人在弹钢琴.

soony--是的,真好听,不是吗?我要是会演奏什么乐器就好了.

laurance--你不是会拉提琴吗?

soony--不会.我姐姐会拉.说实在的,她小提琴拉得相当好.

laurance--我学过一两年笛子.但我从来没有吹好过.我想我没有什么音乐天赋.

soony--噢,那可不是.你歌唱得非常好.我连唱歌都不会.
