實用會話 Dialogue

 A  Your sister is a really good piano player, Nancy.
 B  Thanks, Jack. Yes, she is.
 A  I loved that version of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata she played at the concert last night.
 B  Me, too. She can play other instruments as well.
 A  Oh, really! What else can she play?
 B  Well, not only can she play the piano, but she can also play the violin and the flute.
 A  She’s a woman of many talents! And not only is she talented, but she’s also very beautiful. I loved that outfit she was wearing at the
concert. Do you mind me asking...“ Is she single?”
 B  Jack! That’s my sister you’re having those thoughts about!
 A  That doesn’t answer my question, Nancy.
 B  Sorry, Jack. Not only does she have a husband, but she also has two kids.
 A  Oh, that’s a shame.
 B  Don’t worry. There’s plenty more fish in the sea.
 A  I bet they can’t play the piano as well as your sister...

 

 A  南西，妳姊姊真的是很棒的鋼琴演奏家。
 B  謝啦，傑克。是呀，她真的很棒。
 A  我喜歡她昨晚在音樂會上彈奏貝多芬《月光奏鳴曲》的那個版本。
 B  我也是。她也會演奏其他樂器。
 A  喔，真的嗎！她還會什麼樂器？
 B  嗯，她不僅會彈鋼琴，還會拉小提琴跟吹長笛。
 A  她真是多才多藝！而且她不只有天賦，還長得很漂亮。我喜歡她在音樂會上穿的服裝。妳介意我問……「她單身嗎？」
 B  傑克！你竟敢對我姊姊有非分之想！
 A  南西，妳沒有回答我的問題。
 B  抱歉，傑克。她不只有老公，還有兩個小孩。
 A  噢，那真可惜。
 B  別擔心。天涯何處無芳草。
 A  我敢說她們的鋼琴一定不如你姊姊彈得好……。
