　　May: I'm fine. I'm just so touched by the sad story

　　Todd: So I can say now that you must have enjoyed the opera. Which scene is your favorite?

　　May: I love them all. But if I had to name one as the best, I would say it's the ending.

　　Todd: What's it about? You know, I couldn't help falling asleep. 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　May: Did you? I didn't notice that. But still you should know it, for you have seen it with Laura before.

　　Todd: I guess I've done the same thing last time I was here with her, too. I mean falling asleep. For me, this one is not that attractive.

　　May: Then I doubt if you like operas at all.

　　Todd: Yes. I like Carmen very much. But I don't mind if you want to tell me about this one.

　　May: OK, then. The man was old and he was visiting his wife's grave, with a rose in his hand. When he got there, he saw someone already put a rose on her grave.

　　Todd: Very impressive. And I do like the leading actress who has an amazing voice.

　　May: Me, too. There was always a good round of applause every time she sings.

　　Todd: Yes, the applause! That was what kept waking me up during the show.

　　May: And it's been such a faultless performance with the perfect lighting, and music. Just amazing! 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　Todd: No doubt it's not a simple thing to put on a “phantom show”.

　　May: Exactly.

　　大学英语口语练习翻译：

　　托德：你还好吗?

　　阿美：我没事。我只是被那个悲伤的故事冲动了。

　　托德：那么我敢说你一定很喜欢这场歌剧。你最喜欢哪一幕呢?

　　阿美：我都喜欢。然而如果一定要说一幕最喜好的，我觉得是结尾的那一幕。

　　托德：它是怎么的?你晓得，我忍不住睡着了(所有不看到)。

　　阿美：是吗?我不留心到。然而你还是应该知道的啊，因为你以前跟罗拉一起看过。

　　托德：我才我上回合她来这里的时候也做了相同的事件。我是指睡着的事。对我来讲，这出戏不是那么有吸引力。

　　阿美：那么我就猜疑你是否喜欢歌剧了。

　　托德：喜欢。我异样喜欢歌剧“卡门”。但是我也不介意你告诉我这部歌剧的内容。

　　阿美：那好吧。那个男人老了，他去他妻子的坟前，手拿一枝玫瑰，但是当他到那里的时候，他发现已经有人在她的坟前放了一枝玫瑰。

　　托德：无比感人啊。我确实很喜欢那个女主角，她的声音非常棒。

　　阿美：我也爱好她。她每次演唱的时候，都会有一阵特别热烈的掌声。

　　托德：对了，掌声。就是它在演出的过程中不停地把我吵醒。

　　阿美：这是一场完善的演出，配有完美的灯光跟音乐。简直太杰出了。

　　托德：毫无疑难，要上演一场“幽灵秀”必定不是一件简单的事件。

　　阿美：没错。

But I did like the leading actress, because she had an amazing voice.
