1、ACT1-1“领结总是这么难打吗？”【故事梗概】Susan和Harry今天要结婚了。Philip,Richard和Robbie在帮助Harry打领结。但是他们似乎都不知道领结的打法。Harry:[Helooksinthemirrorathisbowtie.]Itlookswrong.Philip:Hmmm.Itiswrong.Richard:Aretheyalwaysthatdifficulttomake?Philip:Thetruthis…yes.I'lltryagain.Robbie:Atthisrate,theweddingwilltakeplaceto

6、We'llfigureaway.figureaway:找到方法。8.How'reyoudoing,fellas?伙计们，你们进行得怎么样了？fella:伙计，小伙子（很口语化的讲法）。ACT1-2“那商店今天开着吗？”【故事梗概】Grandpa建议可以使用夹上去的领结。Richard去给一个礼服租借公司打电话，去看是否可以借到可以夹上去的领结。Philip:Well,youhaveyourowntuxedo.Howdoyoutieyourbowtie?Robbie:Yeah,Grandpa,I'veseenyouinit.Youlookgreat.Howdoy
