Man: Yeah, I play guitar and some friends and I got together to start making music.

We've been practicing a couple of months and I think we're ready to have a concert.
我们已经排练了几个月了,我觉得我们可以开个演唱会了。
Woman: Great, are you gonna have the show soon?
女:太棒了!你们打算很快就开演唱会吗?
Man: Yeah, hopefully sometime in the next couple of weeks.
男:对啊,希望在接下来几个星期里的某个时间吧。
We're all pretty busy but I think we can squeeze in a show before summer starts and everyone goes away.
我们都挺忙的,不过我觉得我们还是能在暑假开始之前,趁着大家都还没走,挤出时间来开个演唱会的。
Woman: Cool! Where's it gonna be?
女:好酷啊!你们打算在哪里开演唱会呢?
Man: We wanted to do it in the campus auditorium. We play rock and roll. It's kind of loud so it'd sound great in there.
男:我们想在学校礼堂里。因为我们唱的是摇滚,声音有点大,所以如果能在礼堂表演的话,效果会很棒的。
Problem is the auditorium's already booked for the next few weekends.
可是问题是接下来几个周末礼堂都被预定了。
Woman: So what are you gonna do?
女:那你们打算怎么办?
Man: Well, there are no weekends left before summer but there is an opening next Wednesday night, we could do the show then.
男:暑假之前没有其他周末了,不过下周三晚上礼堂还没被预定,我们可以那个时候开演唱会。
Woman: That could be good, I mean, concerts are usually on weekends, but it'll be something fun for people to do in the middle of the week.
女:那也很好啊。虽然演唱会一般都在周末,不过你们放在周三晚上的话,也让大家在一周中间有了点好玩的事情可以做。
Man: Yeah, that's true. It's just that, well, there'll probably be a smaller audience on a Wednesday which might be kind of disappointing.
男:是啊,没错。只是,星期三的观众可能会少一点,这样有点让人失望。
Woman: Well, yeah.
女:对。
Man: But there is one other option.
男:但是还有另一个选择。
We're friends with people in another band. They're gonna be performing in the auditorium next Saturday.
我们有一群朋友也组了个乐队,他们下周六会在礼堂演出。
And they actually said they'd be willing to let us perform with them.
他们实际上说过愿意让我们跟他们一起表演。
Woman: Wow! That's really nice of them.
女:哇!他们人真好。
Man: Yeah, we'd play for a little while and then they'd play the rest of the night as scheduled.
男:是啊,我们可以表演一小段时间,然后他们再按计划表演剩下的时间。
Woman: Sounds good.
女:听起来不错啊。
Man: Yeah, only catch is we wouldn't have much time to perform so we wouldn't be able to do all the songs we've been preparing.
男:对,唯一的问题是,这样我们就表演不了多长时间了,也没办法把我们准备的所有的歌曲都唱掉了。
