DIALOG 37
AFTER THE GAME

laurance--Did you watch the game last might?
soony--I sure did.I wouldn’t have missed it for anything!
laurance--I think it was one of the best games I’ve ever seen.
soony--Me too.I thought both teams played super ball.Too bad one had to lose.
laurance--Yeah.I thought they were evenly matched.It could have gone either way!
soony--That shot that won in the last fifteen seconds was really something.

===========================================================
注解:
1）I wouldn’t...for anything.此句是虚拟语气。for anything=no matter what had happened.
2）played super ball:球踢得好极了。
3）evenly matched:势均力敌。match是“相匹配”之意。
4）It could have gone either way.=Either team could have won or lost.It指的是球赛的结果。因为实际上输赢已定，所以此句用了虚拟语气，反映说话人的看法而已。
5）really someting:意思是“非同寻常的事情。”

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.
