Agreeing and disagreeing 贊成與反對
Linda and Jack talk about the Women's Liberation Movement.
W: What do you think about the Women's Liberation Movement?
M: I'm not in favor of it[1]. I think women should accept their traditional role of being housewives.
W: I really disagree with you. Women should enjoy the same rights as men. Why can't a woman have her own career?
M: Women and men have different advantages. Women are generally tender and considerate, so are suitable for caring for[2] kids and so on. But because they're oftentimes too emotional, they're not likely to be as successful in the professional world[3].
W: Those are stereotypes[4]. There are many cases that prove that women are just as competent[5] in fields of law, management and so on.
M: There are some, but not many.
W: That's because there are still too many prejudiced[6] men. And too few women have woken up to their rights[7]. That's where the Women's Liberation Movement comes into play[8].
林達和傑克談論婦女解放運動。
W: 你如何看待婦女解放運動？
M: 我不贊成。我認為婦女應當接受她們傳統的角色，做家庭婦女。
W: 我很不同意你的看法。女性應當和男性享有同樣的權利。為什麼一個女人不能有她自己的事業呢？
M: 女人和男人有各自不同的優勢。女性通常溫柔體貼，所以適合照顧孩子等等。但是因為她們常常感情用事，她們不太可能在職場上取得同樣的成功。
W: 這些都是老一套了。有很多例子可以證明女性在法律、管理等領域裡和男性一樣有能力。
M: 有一些，但不多。
W: 那是因為現在仍然有很多持有偏見的男人，而且太少的女人意識到她們（擁有的）權利。那就是為什麼會產生婦女運動。

A Dance舞會
Phil: Hi, Paul.
Paul: Hi, Phil. This dance is really nice, isn't it?
Phil: It sure is. Lots of food and drinks.
Paul: Where's Sandy?
Phil: She's over there, dancing with that fatty, and enjoying herself.
Paul: Aren't you enjoying yourself?
Phil: Well, it's a great dance all right, but I'm fed up with these parties.
Paul: You sound like you've been to quite a few parties lately.
Phil: I have. Eight parties in two weeks. If you count this in, it'll be nine.
Paul: That sure is a lot.
Phil: Did you come here alone?
Paul: No, of course not. Melody is with me. Have you met her?
Phil: No. You have at least one dozen girlfriends. Even if I met her before, I won't be able to remember.
Paul: Melody isn't my girlfriend. She is my sister. Here she comes. Let me introduce her to you. Here, Melody!...(To Melody) I'd like you to meet my best partner, Phil Miller. (To Phil) This is Melody, my sister.
Melody: Hi, Phil. Paul talks about you a lot.
Phil: Mostly good things I hope.
Melody: I don't want to interrupt you, but I'm getting bored. Can we go home now?
Paul: All right. It's getting late anyways. Good-bye, Phil.

Tears In Heaven
Eric Clapton
Tears In HeavenWould you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please, begging please
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven
