 经典背诵 Recitation

 

Jenny: People always ask me where I'm from because I always don't know much about what's going on around me. And there is a guy named Clive who is really cool. He plays basketball really well. People in my school believe that he will be a star of tomorrow. He is my type. But unluckily, my chance is slim since he has got a girlfriend already.

克莱夫显然成了众人眼中的篮球明星，这不，这边的两个女生珍妮和苏珊聊得那么起劲，他们在聊什么呢？我们一起来听听吧。

 

enny: Who is that guy?

 

Susan: It's Clive of course. Where did you come from? Every girl knows Clive!

 

Jenny: Really? He is my type.

 

Susan: He is everybody's type.

 

Jenny: What position does he play?

 

Susan: Shooting guard. The same as Michael Jordan!

 

Jenny: Oh, I love Michael Jordan. He fills people's lives with great excitement.

 

Susan: Used to. But now he is too old to play in a fierce game like this. But Kobe is the upcoming superstar now.

 

Jenny: Kobe is a good player but I heard he is a womanizer.

 

Susan: That is not true. They are just jealous¹ of him!

 

Jenny: Jordan is a legend, anyway. An idol² that no one can replace. I think Clive can make a good professional basketball player. He is not just about muscles he also plays smart.

 

Susan: You know what, he is also an outstanding football player. He is surely to be a star of tomorrow.

 

Jenny: By the way, do you know if he has a girl friend?

 

Susan: You are so not here! His girlfriend is one of the cheer leaders.

 

Jenny: Oh, My chance is slim then.

 

听看学

 

珍妮：那个人是谁？

 

苏珊：他当然是克莱夫。你是从哪里来的啊？每个女孩都知道克莱夫啊！

 

珍妮：是吗？他是我喜欢的类型。

 

苏珊：他是每个人都喜欢的类型。

 

珍妮：他打什么位置啊？

 

苏珊：得分后卫。和迈克尔?乔丹是一样的位置。

 

珍妮：哦，我喜欢迈克尔?乔丹。他给人们的生活带来了那么多激动的时刻。

 

苏珊：曾经是。但他现在太老打不了像这样激烈的比赛了。但是科比却是新起的超级明星。

 

珍妮：科比打球打得好，但是我听说他很花心。

 

苏珊：那不是真的。（说的人）他们是嫉妒科比罢了。

 

珍妮：不管怎样，乔丹是个传奇。一个没有谁能取代的偶像。我觉得克莱夫会成为一名出色的专业篮球选手。他不只是靠肌肉，他打得很聪明。

 

苏珊：知道吗，他足球也踢得很好哦。他将来一定会成为一个（体育）明星的。

 

珍妮：顺便问一下，你知道他有女朋友吗？

 

苏珊：你是新来的吧！他的女朋友是啦啦队队长啊。

 

珍妮：哦，看来我（要做他女朋友）没有希望了。
