第一部分对话:谈论乐队

Dialogue 1
英语情景对话1

GEOFF: We're talking about live music at the Bridge Hotel.(问)Jean, what do you think of live music at the Bridge Hotel?
JEAN: Well, in my opinion, it's the wrong place for live music.
GEOFF: Why is that?
JEAN: The hotel's in a residential area.
GEOFF: Paul, how do you feel about this?
PAUL: If you want my opinion, I think Jean Thomas is reacting too strongly.
Many people in the area need somewhere to go. And they like the music at the Bridge Hotel.
GEOFF: But rock'n roll's noisy, isn't it?
JEAN: Right!
PAUL: That’s true, but the band stops at ten o'clock.

And curses the old snaggel** with bare-bellied yoe.***

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
“You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
