听力题目：

Q: Which of the following describes the situation?

A: The rule is the first man owns the table and he should buy a new one.
B: The rule is the second man owes the first man one table since he broke it.
C: They are not ready for the commitment of buying a table together.
D: They will split it and buy the table together.

答案解析

答案解析：
C
A 不正确，首先并没有什么 rule，从 A 来说，并不是说谁拥有这个桌子就负责再买一个。从 B 来说，不是说他打坏了这个桌子就得去买一个。对话中二人均没有妥协，因此 C 正确，D 是 C 的反义，D 错
误。

听力原文：

Chandler:Ok, so it's just because it was my table, I have to buy a new one?
Joey:That's the rule.
Chandler:What rule? There's no rule, if anything, you owe me a table!
Joey:How'd you get to that?
Chandler:Well, I believe the piece of furniture was fine until your little breakfast adventure with Angela Delvecchio
Joey:You knew about that?
Chandler:Well, let's just say the impressions you made in the butter left little to the imagination.
Joey:Ok, ok, How about if we split it?
Chandler:What do you mean, like, buy it together?
Joey:Yeah
Chandler:You think we're ready for something like that?
Joey:Why not?
Chandler:Well, it's a pretty big commitment, I mean, what if one of us wants to move out?

听力笔记：

Split it, AA 的意思。Split表示分开，在这段对话中，Joey 表示要和Chandler 一起买这个桌子。例句：A skilled person can split slate into layers. 手巧的人能把板岩剖成片。commitment承诺，保证。
