【原文】

Jack: Did you hear what happened to Helga? She almost lost her job.

Mary: I didn't know she had one.

Jack: Well, it's just a part-time job. Helga takes care of the Jotmsons' children when their mother is sick. Mrs. Johnson hasn't been well lately.

Mary: What happened? Why did Helga almost lose her job?

Jack: Well, there was a children's movie advertised at the neighborhood theater last Saturday. It was one of those G movies, for general audiences.

Mary: I suppose Helga took the Johnson children to the movie. Wasn't that all right?

Jack: Yes, but here is what happened. When they got to the theater, they found that the G movie wasn't there any more. The theater was showing an X-rated movie called GIRLS.

Mary: X-rated movies are really bad, aren't they?

Jack: They're even worse than R-rated ones which teenagers aren't supposed to see. But Helga didn't know what X meant, and she thought a movie about "girls" would be fine for little girls. Mary: Did the theater let her in?

Jack: No, but Helga tried to make them let her in. The manager had to call Mrs. Johnson. That's how she almost lost her job.

Judy watched a bit of TV last night. Before the football came on, she switched over just to protest, for she couldn’t bear football, and thus she saw the end of the film The Graduate. When the football came on, she turned over to a programme on foxes. After the foxes, she turned over back to see who won the football, but only saw the beginning of the News. Then she packed up and went to bed.

Stuart: What did you do last night then? Did you work all night?

Judy: Yes, I did some work, but I watched a bit of TV ... Got to relax, you know.

Stuart: Did you watch the football?

Judy: No, no I didn't. I can't bear football.

Stuart: Really?

Judy: Yes. I really hate it. Well, actually, just before the football came on, I switched over just to ... just to protest.

Stuart: What did you see then?

Judy: Well, I saw the programme before ... just the end of a film that was on before the football. It looked quite

good actually. It's a shame I didn't switch on earlier. It was some kind of love story ... with Dustin Hoffman, you know, The erm ...

Stuart: The Graduate?

Judy: That's it. The Graduate.

Stuart: Yes. I know. I've seen that. Yes, good film.

Judy: Yes, and nice music. And then, when the football came on I turned over.

Stuart: Terrible, terrible!

Judy: I hate it! I really can't stand it.

Stuart: It was a great game!

Judy: Yes? Who was playing?

Stuart: England, of course. What did you see then, that was more important than football? Judy: Foxes. Yes, a good programme on foxes. Yes, they spent ages watching these foxes in a house. They were

watching them all night and these little baby foxes. It was tremendous.

Stuart: Yes, sounds all right.

Judy: Yes, it was good—better than football ... and then, then I turned over, back to the other channel to see who

won the football, but I missed it and I just saw the beginning of the news and packed up and went to bed.

Stuart: Well, I'm sorry you missed it. It was a good game.

Judy: Who did win?

Stuart: England, of course. Who do you think? Six nil. Yes.

Judy: Must have been quite good then!

Stuart: Yes, it was good, actually. It was very good.
