1．Beauty and Cosmetics美容化妆
Dialogue 1A（Addison）J（James）Addison: How can I help you?
James: I d like to buy some perfume for my girlfriend.
A: Do you know what kind of scent she usually wears?
J: She usually doesn’t wear anything but a few drops of Chanel No. 5. But I’d like to buy her a new fragrance.
A: Ok, here are some of our most popular perfumes.
J: Which one would you recommend?
A: Personally, I quite like the new perfume by Clinique. It’s a subtle flowery scent. What do you think?
J: That smells great. I’ll take one bottle, please.
A: Would you like to buy any other cosmetics for your girlfriend? We have a full range of products from cosmetics to skin cleansers and moisturizers.
J: That’s ok. She normally just wears a little foundation and some loose powder, and I wouldn’t know what shade to buy.
A: How about some lipstick? Every woman needs a nice tube of red lipstick.
J: She doesn’t usually wear lipstick. She thinks it makes her nose look too big.
A: How about some mascara? That will make her eyes look bigger.
J: No thank you. She has big enough eyes as it is.
A: I know what she would like some whitening cream.
J: No thanks. Western women usually try to make their skin darker, not lighter.
A: Will that be all then?
J: That will be all. You’ve been very helpful, thanks.
安德森：需要我帮你什么。
詹姆斯：我想给我女朋友买点香水。
A：你知道她平常爱用哪种香型的吗。
J：她一般除了香奈儿5号不用别的。但是我想给她买一种新的。
A：好的，这有一些我们卖的特别好的香水。
J：你推荐哪一种。
A：就个人而言，我非常喜欢倩碧的这个新款。属于神秘花香型。你觉得怎么样。
J：闻起来感觉好极了。请给我拿这瓶。
A：你想不想给你女朋友买些其他的化妆品。我们有各种产品，从彩妆到洁肤和润肤用品。
J：没关系。
她一般只用一点粉底和散粉，我也不知道该买哪种颜色的。
A：唇膏呢。每个女人都需要一支好口红。
J：她很少用口红。她觉得涂口红会使她的鼻子显得很大。
A：那睫毛膏呢。睫毛膏能使眼睛看起来更大。
J：不用了，谢谢。她的眼睛已经很大了。
A：我想她会喜欢美白润肤霜。
J：不了，谢谢。
西方女子通常想让她们的皮肤更黑一些，而不是更白。
A：这些就行了吗。
J：就这些了。你帮了不少忙，谢谢。
2. Feelings情绪
Parker: Why are you in such a good mood today?
Jayden: Well, yesterday, I decided to face my fear of heights.
P: I didn’t know you were scared of heights。 Was it really bad?
J: Let me put it this way. I’ve never seen a professional sports game in a stadium because I could never get myself to walk to the top of the stairs to sit down。
P: So what did you do about it yesterday?
J: I went sky diving。
P: You’re kidding me。
That sounds really scary。
J: It was scary, but it felt great, too.
P: Weren’t you scared?
J: Of course I was scared. But I had an instructor that went with me and that helped.
P: So have you cured your fear of heights?
J: I think so. After I jumped out of the plane, I realized that I should just enjoy life. Worrying about it or not doing things out of fear is just plain silly.
P: I’m impressed.
J: Are you scared of anything?
P: Well, sometimes I get scared when I’m in my apartment all by myself.
J: What do you think is going to happen?
P: I always worry that the door is unlocked or that a window is open and that a stranger will come in and steal my things.
J: It sounds like you just need to be more careful.
P：你今天心情怎么这么好。
J：嗯，昨天我下定决心正视自己的恐高问题。
P：我不知道你恐高。严重吗。
J：这么跟你解释吧。
我从来没去体育馆看过任何一场职业比赛，因为我不敢从楼梯走上去找座位坐下。
P：那你昨天怎么做的。
J：我去高空跳伞了。
P：你开玩笑吧。
这听起来太恐怖了。
J：确实很恐怖，不过感觉棒极了。
P：你不害怕了吗。
J：我当然害怕。
不过有个教练一直陪着我，指导我。
P：那你的恐高症就这么好了。
J：我觉得是。从飞机上跳下去的那一刻，我意识到我应该尽情享受生活。
总是怕东怕西或者陷入恐惧什么都不敢做，实在是太傻了。
P：我明白了。
J：你有什么害怕的吗。
P：嗯，有时候，我独自一人呆在房间里时会有点害怕。
J：你觉得会发生什么事情吗。
P：我总是担心门或窗没锁，会有小偷进来偷东西。
J：听起来你做事需要更谨慎一些。
3. Is There Any Other Life Out There? 外星生物存在吗。
Ben: Guess what。 I know something you don’t know。
Layla: What’s that?
B: How many planets are there in the solar system?
L: That’s easy. Everyone knows that there are nine.
B: Not anymore。 Can you believe it? They’ve decided that Pluto is not a planet anymore。
L: Nice try. I wasn’t born yesterday, you know.
B: I’m dead serious. They’ve decided that it’s too small to be a planet, but actually they haven’t yet agreed on how big something has to be in order to be a planet anymore.
L: That sounds crazy. They can’t just change their mind about things like that.
B: Yes, they can. If you remember correctly, people used to believe that the world was flat.
L: I suppose you’re right. They also used to think that they were so important that the sun revolved around them, not the other way around.
B: We actually know relatively little about space and the cosmos.
L: Do you think that we’ll one day be able to travel to another planet for a vacation?
B: I suppose we could actually live on a planet outside of the milky way.
L: Do you think we’ll ever get to meet an alien from outer space?
B: I hope not. I think they would be a threat to those of us that lived on Earth.
L: You’re so old fashioned. That’s what people used to think about people from another country。
B: Point taken. Hopefully one day, we’ll live in an interplanetary society.
B：你猜怎么着。
我知道一些你不知道的事情。
L：什么事。
B：你知道太阳系有多少行星吗。
L：很简单。大家都知道有九大行星。
B：现在可不是啦。
你相信吗。他们决定取消冥王星的行星资格了。
L：想得美。
别哄我了，我又不是昨天才生出来（我又不是三岁的孩子）。
B：我是认真的。他们认为冥王星太小了，不够做行星的资格，不过他们尚未对行星的体积究竟该有多大而达成一致的意见。
L：这听起来简直是疯了。他们不能对这种事情随便乱改主意。
B：是的，他们可以。如果你还记得的话，以前人们曾经认为地球是平的。
L：我觉得你说的有道理。他们过去还认为人类是特别重要的，以至于太阳都是围绕着我们转的，不存在其他运行的方式。
B：可能我们对空间和宇宙的了解只是非常有限的一点点。
L：你觉得未来我们有可能去其它星球度假吗。
B：我想我们可以居住在银河系以外的其他星球上。
L：你觉得咱们会在外太空遇到外星人吗。
B：我希望不会。我觉得他们可能对生活在地球上的人类是一种威胁。
L：你的思想可太老派了。这就好像人们以前对外国人的看法一样。
B：知道啦。
希望未来有一天，我们能生活在一个行星际的社会里。
4. Mind Your Posture注意姿态
Isabella: Matthew, do you know much about body language in countries around the world?
Matthew: Sure. I’ve picked up a few things from travelling around for work. Why?
I: Well, I had a meeting today with a woman from Japan and she wouldn’t stop bowing。
I didn’t know what to do。
M: Did you bow back?
I: No, I tried to shake her hand, but her hand was so limp I was a bit offended.
M: Well, Japanese businessmen and women typically bow to greet each other in Japan. She might have been offended by your strong handshake.
I: But she was in America。 Shouldn’t she have known that strong handshakes in America signify confidence and respect?
M: Things are different in Japan. You know, in some countries, making eye contact with others is considered rude.
I: Is that why she wouldn’t look at me in the meeting?
M: I think it’s highly possible, yes.
I: The meeting really didn’t go down well at all. I think I need to read up about intercultural communication before I have another meeting with someone from another country.
M: That’s a good idea. When you don’t know much about other cultures, the simplest thing can offend someone.
I: That’s so true. It’s great that we see eye to eye on this
.伊莎贝拉：马修，你了解世界各国的身体语言吗。
马修：当然。我工作中有很多出差的机会，了解到一些这方面的知识。
怎么了。
I：好哎，我今天参加了一个会议，会上有个日本女子总是不停地鞠躬。
我不知道该怎么办。
M：你鞠躬还礼了吗。
I：没有。我试图跟她握手，可是她的手握上去很无力，我好像有点冒犯她了。
M：哦，在日本，谈生意的人无论男女一般都会互相鞠躬致意。你握手那么用力她很可能因此而有点不愉快。
I：但她这是在美国。难道她不知道，在美国用力握手意味着信任和尊重吗。
M：这跟日本的习俗完全不同。你知道吗，在有些国家，直视对方的眼睛被认为是无礼的举动。
I：这就是她为什么在开会时一直不看我的原因吧。
M：我觉得很可能是这个缘故。
I：这次的会晤进行得非常不顺利。我想下次再出席类似这样有外国人参加的会议之前，一定要熟知一些有关跨文化交流方面的知识。
M：这是个好主意。当你对另一种文化缺乏了解的时候，即使是最简单的举止也会冒犯到别人。
I：一点没错。真高兴咱俩对这件事情看法一致。
5. Chinese Food中餐
Morgan: Are you good at cooking?
John: No, but I’m pretty good eating。
M: Do you prefer Chinese food or Western food?
J: Well, to be honest with you, Chinese food is really different from western food.
M: Are you used to the food here?
J: I’m not really used to it yet.
M: What’s your favourite Chinese dish?
J: Like most foreigners, I really like Sweet and Sour Pork and Kung Pao Chicken. I eat them almost every day.
M: Have you tried traditional Chinese dumplings yet?
J: I tried once, but they are quite difficult to eat with chopsticks.
M: You know, foreigners are not expected to use chopsticks proficiently. If you do, you’ll give your Chinese friends quite an impression.
J: That’s good to know. I’d like to try more Chinese food, but since I can’t read any of the menus in the restaurants near my home, it’s difficult to try new food.
M: If you want, I can introduce you to some typical Chinese dishes.
J: That would be great. I really only want to taste real Chinese food, not just the food that foreigners like to eat。
M: If you haven’t tried Beijing duck yet, I’d like to treat you to a meal at a famous duck restaurant near Qianmen. It would be a pity if you left without tasting it。
摩根：你擅长做饭吗。
约翰：不太擅长，不过我是个美食家。
M：你喜欢吃中餐还是西餐。
J：嗯，坦白说，中餐和西餐可是大相径庭。
M：你吃得惯这儿的饭菜吗。
J：还没习惯呢。
M：你最喜欢中餐的哪道菜。
J：和大多数外国人一样，我喜欢吃咕噜肉和宫保鸡丁。我几乎天天都吃。
M：你吃过中国传统的饺子吗。
J：吃过一次，不过用筷子夹太难了。
M：要知道，中国人并不要求老外能对筷子运用自如。
但是如果你能用好，会让人对你印象深刻。
J：知道这个真是太好了。我很想品尝更多的中餐，可是我家附近餐馆里的菜单我都读不懂，所以要想尝试新的品种就很困难。
M：如果你愿意，我可以向你介绍几种经典菜式。
J：那可太好了。
我是真的想吃正宗的中餐，而不是外国人喜欢吃的那种。
M：如果你还没吃过烤鸭，我请你去前门附近的那家有名的烤鸭店去吃一顿。你要是没吃过烤鸭就离开北京那可太遗憾了。 。
