初中英语口语对话之你完蛋了

　　李华要参加课堂辩论，心里很紧张， 找Larry出主意。在初中英语口语对话他们会用到两个常用语：you're toast跟the tables have turned。

　　LH: Larry，我可怎么办?这次辩论的成就占期末成绩的一半呢!

　　Larry: OK, OK. Calm down for a minute. What's the topic of the debate?

　　LH: 争辩的主题是国会最近通过的医疗改革法案!我当时没留心这个新闻，当初什么都不晓得啊!

　　Larry: Oh, my. That is certainly a complicated topic, even for an American. Are you arguing for or against it?

　　LH: 我是辩论的正方还是反方?哦……我忘了。（在这个初中英语口语对话中注意生单词的积累）

　　Larry: You don't even know what side of the argument you're on? Well, looks like you're toast。

　　LH: I'm toast? 你在说什么啊?

　　Larry: It means you have no chance; you're done for; you're finished. I don't see how you could possibly be prepared for this debate。

　　LH: "I'm toast" 就是I'm finished? 我完了?没戏了?哎呀，这门课可是必修课，我必须要通过呀!Larry, you have to help me!

　　Larry: I don't think I can, Lihua...Although I know I'm going to be toast if I just sit there and be negative. Haha.。.

　　LH: 没错，要是你只顾坐在那里看我出丑，你就去世定了!哼!

　　Larry: Well, I can tell you about the health care bill, but if you don't know what side you are on for the debate, I don't think that will help you。

　　LH: 诚然我忘了自己在哪一方，可我的老对头Susie是我的对手，咱们不在一队，而且她特别能辩论。I really AM toast,英语培训, Larry。

　　Larry: Unfortunately, I would have to agree with you. You don't have any friends in that class? Give one a call and see if they remember which team you are on。

　　LH: 对! 我给Jennifer打个电话，看她知不知道我是哪一方的。

　　******

　　李华给Jennifer打电话之后，得到了一些好消息。

　　LH: Larry, 好消息!Susie生病了!

　　Larry: Huh?

　　LH: Jennifer说，Susie重感冒，嗓子出不了声，更别提辩论了!I'm not toast anymore! 我有救啦!

　　Larry: Oh, I see. What about your team? Do you know what side you need to prepare to argue for?

　　LH: Jennifer说，我和她都是正方的，支持这个法案。她还让我不必担心，说我们这方有多少个很牛的人!这真太棒了!

　　Larry: That is good news. Looks like the tables have turned in your favor。

　　LH: The tables have turned? 什么桌子?

　　Larry: I'm not talking about an actual table. The tables have turned means that the person that used to be ahead is now behind, and the person who used to be at a disadvantage now has an advantage。

　　LH: 我明白了，the tables have turned就是指局面发生了一百八十度大转弯!我之前处于弱势，可现在忽然处于优势了!

　　Larry: Exactly. You can say the tables have turned in your favor. It doesn't look like your grade for this class is toast anymore。

　　LH: The tables have turned in my favor，风水转到我这边来了!所有都对我有利了!我本来以为I was toast, 然而当初，对手病了，队友富强，The tables have turned! 我真是幸运!

　　Larry: It looks like your classmate Susie is the one who is toast now. And since you don't have to prepare for that debate anymore, I was wondering if you could help me out a little.。.

　　LH: 怎么了Larry?

　　Larry: Well, I need to submit a report on the Chinese market to my boss, and I've been putting it off. It's due tomorrow and I could use someone to help me do some research on Chinese websites.。（初中英语口语对话记得口语节奏要模仿到位哦）

　　LH: 你明天将来要交一分对中国的市场分析报告，现在还没怎么写?你想让我帮忙在网上查资料?哼! 我才不管呢!

　　Larry: Oh! Lihua, Please! If I don't finish this report in time, well, I'd be.。.

　　LH: You'd be toast! 你就完蛋啦!Larry, 多少分钟前你还不肯帮我准备辩论呢，现在轮到你求我，我不帮忙了。哈哈!It seems the tables have turned!

　　Larry: That situation was a little bit different...I didn't really have any way to help you。

　　LH: 这倒也是。可是，我也真的帮不了你啊，我又不会写市场考核报告。

　　Larry: You're not going to help me? But I'll be toast without your help!

　　LH: Sorry, Larry! 可我真的没法帮你，我要跟咱们辩论队的人在藏书楼开会，对了，你能开车送我去图书馆么?

　　Larry: Ha, it looks like the tables have turned again.。.
