Conversation 3
M: I didn't see you at the International Talent Show.
W:(8)No time for that kind of thing.(没时间管那些事情,反映出女士消极的态度。)
M: You mean you don't belong to the ISA?
W: The ISA?
M: International Student Association.
W: Oh, no. I don't belong to any clubs.
M: But this isn't like a regular club.
W: How so?
M: Well, we have a house. You know, the brick house on fraternal row.
W: You live there, right?
M: Yeah. I moved in last year. It's really inexpensive because we take care of the house ourselves and we cook our own meals.
W: That sounds like it would take a lot of time.
M: Not really.(9)There's a list of chores posted every week, and you can choose something you like to do.(家务活的安排:从家务清单上选择自己喜欢的工作。)
W: But you have to cook too, right?
M: Okay,it's like this: twenty of us .live there so every night two of the guys cook and two of the guys clean up, so you only have to cook about once a week and clean up once.
W: That sounds good.
M: And it costs about half what it did to live in the dorm.(10)But really. I'm doing it because it's a great experience living with people from so many different countries.(居住在 ISA 真正的原因:和世界各地的朋友一起居住的经历。)
W: I wish I had time to do it. It really sounds interesting.
