Dialogue 1

Mark: What's new, Jingjing?
马克:最近怎么样啊,京晶?
Jingjing: Same old, same old, I'm afraid. Hey, did you catch the Oscars?
京晶:老样子,老样子吧。对了,你关注奥斯卡了吗?
Mark: I didn't actually watch it, but I was interested to see who won.
马克:我没看,但是我还挺感兴趣都谁得奖了。
Jingjing: So, you got the run down online, eh? I saw a few short videos of the ceremony, but searched the web for most of the info.
京晶:所以,你在网上找到这方面的消息了?我看了颁奖礼的几个短视频,大多数相关资讯还是在网上搜的。
Mark: Good old Wikipedia! Were you surprised by any of the results?
马克:真是又方便又靠谱的维基百科啊!有结果让你觉得惊讶吗?
Jingjing: Well, I've not had time to catch most of those films. So, I was just rooting for the ones I had seen.
京晶:我没时间看其中大部分影片,我就支持我看过的片子。
Mark: Me too! I watched Dunkirk last summer, and was glad to see another film by Christopher Nolan.
马克:我也是!我去年夏天看了《敦刻尔克大撤退》,很开心看到克里斯托弗·诺兰执导的另一部影片。
Jingjing: That's the same director who did Inception, right?
京晶:是执导过《盗梦空间》的同一位导演吧?
Mark: Yeah, and Memento. I've been a fan of his films for a long time. I even watched his first film, the Followingin the theater.
马克:对,还有《记忆碎片》。我一直是他的粉丝。我甚至还在电影院看过他的第一部影片《追随》。
Jingjing: He didn't win Best Director, though. Dunkirk got three or so other awards, for technical stuff.
京晶:可他没有得到最佳导演奖,《敦刻尔克》因为技术运用获得了差不多三个其他奖项。
Mark: Yeah, editing and sound. Did you see the movie that won Best Picture?
马克:是的,剪辑和音响(注:最佳音响,最佳音效剪辑)。你看了最佳影片吗?
Jingjing: No, but on the radio, I heard an interview of one of the actors.
京晶:没有。但是我在广播上听到了其中一名演员的采访。
Mark: Do you mean Richard Jenkins?
马克:是理查德·詹金斯吗?
Jingjing: I think that was the actor's name. He played Giles in the movie.
京晶:我想这就是那个演员的名字。他在电影里扮演的吉尔斯。
Mark: He's been a supporting actor in a bunch of comedies. I'm glad he at least got nominated for an Oscar this time, for a more serious role.
马克:他在很多喜剧里演过配角。我很高兴听到他终于被奥斯卡提名的消息,因为一个严肃的角色。
Jingjing: Yeah, now I'm really interested in seeing the Shape of Water.
京晶:是啊,现在我非常感兴趣想看看《水形物语》。
Mark: So am I. It's supposed to be very well written.
马克:我也是。应该创作得很好。
Jingjing: I've gotta go now, Mark. If I have a chance to find those films, I'll share them with you.
京晶:我得走了,马克。如果我有机会能找到那些片子,我就带给你看。

Dialogue 2

Jingjing: Hi again, Mark.
京晶:嗨,马克
Mark: I was looking forward to seeing you.
马克:我盼着见你呢。
Jingjing: Is that just because you expect me to have some movies to share with you?
