NINA: Hi, George! Glad you're back, Loads of people have phoned you.

妮娜：啊，乔治！你回来太好了，一堆人打电话找你。

GEORGE: Really?

乔治：真的啊？

NINA: I felt just like your secretary!

妮娜：我都快成你秘书了！

GEORGE: Sorry! I went into the library this afternoon to have a look at a newspaper and I came across something really interesting.

乔治：不好意思啊！我下午去图书馆看报纸去了，结果发现了一个很有意思的东西。

NINA: What? A book?

妮娜：啥呀？一本书吗？

GEORGE: No, a brochure from a summer festival - mainly Spanish music.

乔治：不是，是一个夏日节庆的宣传册，主要是一些关于西班牙音乐的。

Look, I've got it here.

我把宣传册带回来了，你看……

NINA: Spanish music? I really love the guitar.

妮娜：西班牙音乐？我超喜欢吉他！

Let's have a look.

我看看。

So what's this group 'Guitarrini'?

这个叫“Guitarrini”的乐队是表演什么的？

GEORGE: They're really good.

乔治：他们很棒。

They had a video with all the highlights of the festival at a stand in the lobby to the library, so I heard them.

图书馆大厅有一个展架在放节日活动精华剪辑的视频，我听了一点他们的演奏。

They play fantastic instruments - drums and flutes and old kinds of guitars.

他们的演奏很出色——鼓、笛子，还有一些古典吉他。

I've never heard anything like it before.

我从来没听过这样的演奏。

NINA: Sounds great.

妮娜：听起来不错啊。

GEORGE: Okay. Shall we go then? Spoil ourselves?

乔治：那我们去不去？犒劳一下自己。

NINA: Yes, let's.

妮娜：好啊，一起去！

GEORGE: The only problem is there aren't any cheap seats ... it's all one price.

乔治：有个问题啊，没有便宜的票……所有票都一个价。

NINA: Well, in that case we could sit right at the front - we'd have a really good view.

妮娜：这样的话我们就坐前排好了——看得清楚一些。

GEORGE: Yeah, though I think that if you sit at the back you can actually hear the whole thing better.

乔治：那倒是，不过我觉得坐在靠后一些音效更好一些。

NINA: Yes. Anyway we can decide when we get there.

妮娜：也是。没关系，我们到了现场再说吧。

NINA: So will you fill in the form or shall I?

妮娜：那这个表是你填还是我来填？

GEORGE: I'll do it. Name: George O'Neill.

乔治：我来吧。姓名：乔治·奥尼尔。

Address: 48 North Avenue, Westsea.

Do you remember our new postcode?

你记得咱们这儿的新邮编吗？

Still can't remember it.

我到现在还记不住。

NINA: Just a minute - I've got it written down here. WS6 2YH.

妮娜：等会儿，我记了。是WS6 2YH。

Do you need the phone too?

电话号码要吗？

So, let's book two tickets for Guitarrini.

好的。订两张Guitarrini的票。

GEORGE: Okay. If you're sure ￡7.50 each is all right.

乔治：你要是觉得7.5英镑的票价能接受的话就没问题了。

How do you feel about the singer?

歌剧有兴趣吗？

NINA: I haven't quite decided.

妮娜：我还没想好呢。

But I've noticed something on the booking form that might just persuade me!

不过表上有一项挺吸引我的。

GEORGE: What's that then?

乔治：哪一项啊？

NINA: Free refreshments!

妮娜：餐饮免费！

GEORGE: Really?

Singer, ticket ￡6.00 includes drinks in the garden.

歌剧，票价6英镑，含花园的酒水。

乔治：听起来很划算啊。

NINA: Yes, let's book two tickets for that.

So, what else? I'm feeling quite keen now!

还有什么吗？我都迫不及待了。

How about the pianist on the 22nd of June?

这场6月22号的钢琴演奏怎么样？

GEORGE: Anna Ventura? I've just remembered that's my evening class night.

乔治：安娜·文图拉的演奏吗？我突然想起来那晚我有课。

NINA: That's okay. I'll just have to go on my own - but we can go to the Spanish dance and guitar concert together, can't we?

妮娜：没事儿。我自己去就好了。西班牙舞和吉他演奏会我们能一起去吗？

GEORGE: Yes– I'm sure Tom and Kieran would enjoy that too.

乔治：当然。汤姆和基兰也会很喜欢的。
