新概念英语第二册74

74 Out of the limelight舞台之外 An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off. Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them. But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect. 'This is a wonderful place for a picnic,' said Gloria Gleam. 'It couldn't be better, Gloria,' Brinksley Meers agreed. 'No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don't we come more often?' Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared. He looked very angry. 'Now you get out of here, all of you!' he shouted. 'I'm sheriff here. Do you see that notice? It says "No Camping" -- in case you can't read!' 'Look, sheriff,' said Rockwall, 'don't be too hard on us. I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.' 'Oh, is it?' said the sheriff with a sneer. 'Well, I'm Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam. Now you get out of here fast!' 一个古老的汽车停在一条干涸的河床和一群著名男女演员下了。穿着黑色的旧衣服，他们采取了特别措施以便没人能认出他们。但他们很快就发觉，化装的效果有时过分完美了。”这是一个野餐的好地方，”GloriaGleam说。”不可能更好，Gloria，”格格利亚同意。”没有记者，没有影迷！我们为什么不经常来这里呢？”与此同时，另外两位演员，罗克梅林和格里夫斯，已经把两个大食品篮子提到了一片树荫下。当他们都使自己舒适，一个陌生人出现。他看上去很生气。”现在你滚出去，你的一切！”他喊道。”我是警长。你看，注意到？它说“露营”——除非你们不识字！”看，警长，罗克沃尔说，“别累着我们。我是Rockwall Slinger，这是格里夫斯王。”“哦，是吗？”司法官冷笑着说。”好吧，我就是Brinksley Meers .，我的另一个名字叫GloriaCleam。现在你快给我滚出去！”
