介绍:
Lesson 127
A famous actress
著名的女演员
Listen to the tape then answer this question. Who is only twenty-nine, and why is it so unclear?
听录音，然后回答问题。谁只有29岁？为什么这件事如此含糊不清？
KATE: Can you recognize that woman,
Liz?
LIZ: I think I can, Kate.
It must be Karen Marsh,
the actress.
KATE: I though so.
Who&`&s that beside her?
LIZ: That must be Conrad Reeves.
KATE: Conrad Reeves, the actor?
It&`&s can&`&t be.
Let me have another look.
I think you&`&re right!
Isn&`&t he her third husband?
LIZ: No. He must be her fourth or
fifth.
KATE: Doesn&`&t Karen Marsh look old!
LIZ: She does, doesn&`&t she!
I read she&`&s twenty-nine,
but she must be at least forty.
KATE: I&`&m sure she is.
LIZ: She was a famous actress
When I was still at school.
KATE: That was a long time ago,
wasn&`&t it?
LIZ: Not that long ago!
I&`&m not more than twenty-nine
myself.

凯特：莉兹，你能认出那个女人吗？
莉兹：我想我认得出来，凯特。那一定是女
演员卡.马会。
凯特：我也这样想。她旁边的那个人是谁？
莉兹：一定是康拉德.里弗斯。
凯特：康拉德.里弗斯，那个男演员吗？
不可能是。让我再看一看。
我想你是对的。他不是她的第3个
丈夫吗？
莉兹：不，他一定是她的第4个或第5个丈夫。
凯特：卡伦看上去不显老嘛！
莉兹：是的，谁说不是呢！我从报上看到她
是29岁，但她一定至少有40岁了。
凯特：我肯定她有40岁了。
莉兹：当我还是学生时，她就是个著名的
演员了。
凯特：那是好久以前的事了。是吗？
莉兹：不，没有那么久。我自己现在还没
29岁呢。
