Men's Best Friend人类最好的朋友 ACT I教师讲解版视频
In the Stewarts' home. Robbie Stewart and his friend Alexandra Pappas are listening to music in the living room.
Alexandra:Robbie, this new Walkman is absolutely wonderful.
Robbie:Richard and Marilyn bought it for me for my birthday.
Alexandra:They're so thoughtful. You are very lucky, Robbie, to have such a nice family.
Robbie:Is something wrong, Alexandra?
Alexandra:No, nothing.
Robbie:Yes, there is. I can tell. What's the matter?Come on, you can tell me. What's up?
Alexandra:I don't know. Something's wrong.
Robbie:OK, let's talk.
Alexandra:I received a letter from my parents this morning.
Robbie:Did they write some bad news?
Alexandra:No.
Robbie:Well, then why are you so sad?
Alexandra:I miss them. I miss them very much.
Robbie:I'm sorry, Alexandra. But I understand.
Alexandra:The Molinas treat me so nicely, and I love being with your family so much… but when I received the letter with photographs of my family, I cried. I cried because I miss them all.
Robbie:You really miss your family, don't you?
Alexandra:Yes. I know I must seem silly. It's not like I have nobody. I like the Molinas very much, and they're so kind to me.
Robbie:Hey, why don't we go out for a cheeseburger and french fries? That'll cheer you up. And you can use my Walkman.
Alexandra:That's a good idea. But if we go out, please don't complain about your math teacher or your math homework. I want
to have fun.
Robbie:So do I. [He begins to turn off the lights.] I have to turn off the lights, or else my father will get really angry.
He says I never turn them out when I leave. If they come home and they're on…[He moves his index finger across his throat to show that his father will be angry.]
[There is a sound at the patio door.]
Robbie:Do you hear something?
Alexandra:Yes. What was that?
Robbie:It sounded like a dog barking.
Alexandra:It sounded like a dog barking right here.
Robbie:Yeah. [He opens the door. A dog is standing there.]
Alexandra:A dog!
Robbie:A springer spaniel![to the dog] Come on in! Make yourself at home.
Alexandra:Oh, you poor little thing. Come here.
Robbie:Come on.
Alexandra:Poor baby.
Robbie:Where did you come from?
Alexandra:[She looks at the dog's identification tag. ]Her name's Gemma, and she belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Levinson. There's a
phone number ----five five five…eight four four eight. Robbie, maybe you should call them and tell the Levinsons we have
their cute little spaniel.
Robbie:I've always wanted a springer spaniel. She's so cute. [He goes to the telephone and dials the Levinsons' number. ]
Operator:The number you are calling----555-8448----is no longer in service.
Robbie:[He hangs up the phone. ] The number's no longer in service.
Alexandra:[to the dog] Oh, you poor, poor baby. You've lost your family.
Robbie:We'll find them. Don't worry, Alexandra.
