学校里的咖啡馆英语作文
学校里的咖啡馆英语作文英文回答：School cafeterias are an essential part of the school experience. They provide a place for students to socialize, relax, and refuel. However, not all school cafeterias are created equal. Some are known for their delicious food, while others are known for their bland and uninspired offerings.When I was in high school, I had the good fortune of attending a school with a great cafeteria. The food was always fresh and tasty, and there was a wide variety of options to choose from. I especially loved the pizza, which was made with a homemade dough and fresh mozzarella cheese. The cafeteria was also a great place to hang out with friends. We would often sit at one of the large tables and talk about our day or just relax and listen to music.I know that not all students are as lucky as I was tohave a great school cafeteria. But I believe that all students deserve to have access to healthy and affordable food options. School cafeterias can play a vital role in ensuring that students have the energy they need to succeed in school.中文回答：学校食堂是学校生活中不可或缺的一部分。

[美语咖啡屋]第44课：School Plays
J: Hello, welcome to American Cafe! Im Jody!
Y: 各位好，欢迎到美语咖啡屋。
我是杨晨。
J: Hey, Yang Chen, dont forget to keep next weekend free.
Y: Oh, 对，下个周末我们要去看音乐剧。
因为Eric要在里面扮演一个角色。
说Eric起来，我觉得他可是够忙碌的，又要上学，又要参加学校剧团的演出。
J: He is a very busy 14 -year old. But you know, all kids sooner or later are in a school play.
Y: 是吗，所有的孩子都有机会参加演出啊？
J: Oh sure. And today well hear from Eric and his mom Lara about what it means to be in a school play.
Y: 好啊。
那我们就先来认识Eric的妈妈Lara 。
Lara: Its, I think fairly common, almost every junior high school and high school in the country has some sort of play or dramatic opportunity that kids can participate in.
Y: 原来我以为只有那些将来想进演艺界的小孩才会参加这种演出呢。
J: Oh no, no, no. Everyone tries out for school plays!
Y: "Try out" 就是参加audition，I mean 参加“演员挑选”
J: Thats right. Everyone tries out. The nerdy students try out, the artsy students try out and just the plain ol average students try out. Again here is Lara.
Lara: Everyone tries out. Anyone whos interested can try out. The more nerdy kids, if you will, the artsy kids, and just plain ol average kids. Anyone can try out.
Y: 哎，Jody，你来给大家描述一下，如果说个人很nerdy，那该是什么样子呢？
J: OK. A nerd is anyone who studies too much, never gets into any trouble and carries around lots of pens and pencils. That is a nerdy student.
Y: Nerdy kids 一般来说都是书呆子。
那么artsy呢？
J: Artsy, very creative, artistic students. But no matter if you are nerdy or artsy , being in a play makes you busy.
Y: 没错，特别是对一个14岁的孩子来说。
那他有那么时间吗？
J: Well, Yang Chen, that is the negative side of being in a school play - it can really drain a students time.
Lara: The negatives are its a very large drain on a kids time. For an individual play its several weeks of practice - maybe six weeks of practice.
Y: 要花6 个星期的时间来排练。
那这样会不会影响他的学习成绩呢？
J: Well, it probably does influence a students grades. But I also think its well worth it.
Y: Jody, 你的意思是说参加演出比取得好成绩还要重要吗？
J: Well, it could be. Acting in a play is a wonderful opportunity to develop such things as public speaking abilities, confidence.
Lara: Well, the pros are that its a wonderful opportunity for kids to
develop public speaking ability and confidence. Thats a definite plus - building a positive self-image.
Y: 说了半天，Eric到底参加的是那一部戏的演出？
J: Eric performed in the Music Man.
Eric: My name is Eric. And... I was in a play called the Music Man. Its about this man named Harold Hill and hes a con artist. A con artist is someone who tricks people into giving them money. And so Harold is selling boys bands.
Y: Con artist, 就是诈骗犯的意思。
J: In the Music Man boys bands means a marching band with lots of instruments!
Y: Marching band，该怎么解释呢？
J: Ive got an idea. Bring in the band!
[Enter music here.]
Y: 哎，我想Eric一定演的是Music Man里面的男主角大骗子Harold Hill，对不对？J: Well ... not exactly.
ACT Eric
I was Man #2. I was a non-important character who said three lines and had one musical solo line.
Y: 不过不要紧，我相信Eric下次一定能演主角。
J: Oh, sure! He is very talented. And to a parent it doesnt matter if youre the lead role or Man #2.
Lara: It doesnt matter if theyre in the big part or theyre just Man #2; every parent who sees their child on stage feels enormously proud.
J: Lara does sound like a proud parent, doesnt she?
Y: 没错。
J: Thats all for American Cafe. Thanks for joining us and see you next time.
