Lesson 137 A pleasant dream 美好的梦
Listen to the tape then answer this question.
What would Julie like to do, if she had the money?
JULIE: Are you doing the football pools, Brain?
BRIAN: Yes, I&`&ve nearly finished, Julie.
Julie. I&`&m sure we&`&ll win something this week.
JULIE: You always say that, but we never win anything!
What will you do if you win a lot of money?
BRIAN: If I win a lot of money I&`&ll buy you a mink coat.
JULIE: I don&`&t want a mink coat! I want to see the world.
BRIAN: All right.
If we win a lot of money, We&`&ll travel round the world and we&`&ll stay at the best hotels. Then we&`&ll return home and buy a big house in the country. We&`&ll have a beautiful garden and …
JULIE: But if we spend all that money, we&`&ll be poor again.
What&`&ll we do then?
BRIAN: If we spend all the money,
we&`&ll try and win the football pools again.
JULIE: It&`&s a pleasant dream but everything depends on &`&if&`&!
朱 莉:布赖恩,你正在下足球赛的赌注吗?
布赖恩:是的。我这就做完了。朱莉。
我敢肯定这星期我们会赢一点的。
朱 莉:你老是那样说,但是我们从来没赢过!
要是你赢了许多钱,你打算做什么呢?
布赖恩:要是我赢了许多钱,我给你买件貂皮大衣。
朱 莉:我不要貂皮大衣。我要去见风世面。
布赖恩:好吧。要是我们赢了很多钱,我们就去周游世
界,并且往最好的旅馆。然后我们返回家园,在乡下
买幢大房子。我们将有一个漂亮的花园和……
朱 莉:但是如果我们把所有钱都花光了,
我们又会变穷的。那时我们怎么办呢?
布赖恩:如果我们花光了所有钱,我们设法
在足球赛赌注上再赢一次。
朱 莉:这是个美好的梦,但一切都取决于 “如果”!
