VII. Dictation
Baseball is America's national sport, played mainly by men. It developed in the mid 19th century from the British games of rounders and cricket. Baseball is also popular in Japan and several Latin American countries, and has been an Olympic sport since in 1972. Softball is similar but uses a large, softer ball and is popular with women. Many Americans play baseball for fun because players do not have to be strong like football players or tall like basketball players. Some people think baseball is too slow, but the team managers often change their players and plans during the game, and there are many exciting plays. Many American families enjoy
going to a Sunday afternoon double-header, that is, two games between the same two teams in one day.

你能想像一个身体严重残疾的妇女独自经营一个网站并且像一个专业的体育记者一样详细报道洛杉矶道奇队吗?如果我没有亲眼见到她蜷曲在轮椅里，用固定在头上的一根棍子敲击字键打出她的评论，我是绝不会相信的。

我长途驱车希望揭露一个精心策划的骗局，但是，看着她在黑暗的棚屋里添写她的报道，我知道我发现了一个真正的赢家。

她对棒球的热情和她对球员的信赖使我回到了积极的态度。

Could you imagine a woman with a severe physical handicap running a website on her own and covering the Los Angles Dodgers as extensively as a professional sportswriter? I would never believe it if I had not seen her with my own eyes, curled up in a wheelchair, typing her comments by hitting the key with a pointer fastened to her head. I had driven a long way in hopes of uncovering an elaborate hoax, but watching her strain in the gloom of her shanty to add to her story, I knew I had found a true winner. Her enthusiasm for the game and her trust in the athletes brought me back to a positive attitude.

Dictation
The Terezin concentration camp was established by the Nazis in an 18th century fortress in Czechoslovakia on November 24, 1941. More than 150,000
Jews passed through the camp during its four-year existence, which was used as a holding area for eventual murder in Auschwitz. By 1943, rumors began circulating in the international community that the Nazis were exterminating Jews in gas chambers, and that the conditions of the concentration camps did not permit survival. The Nazis rebuilt parts of this camp to serve as a "showpiece" for propaganda purposes. Flowers were planted there. Shops, schools, and a cafe were built. When an investigating commission of the International Red Cross came to visit, they did not see a typical concentration camp. In July 1944 the Nazis made a documentary propaganda film about life in this camp. After the movie was completed, most of the Jewish "actors" were shipped to their death at Auschwitz.

今年三月初的一个美好夜晚，我和我的家人到上海大剧院（Shanghai Grand Theater）看著名的音乐剧（musical）《剧院魅影》（#The Phantom of the Opera#）。

爱情是该剧的主题, 然而它说的却是一场三角恋爱的故事（a love triangle）。

一位名叫克里斯汀（Christine）的年轻的女高音歌唱家引起一个经常戴着面具出没于（haunt）巴黎歌剧院的幽灵的注意，他爱上了她。

可是，克里斯汀的一位从前童年的朋友，如今是一位年轻而又富有的美男子也爱上了她。

剧情围绕他们三人展开。

他们的演唱和演技都非常好，他们演出时充满情感，同时，合唱部分也很和谐。

自始至终，演出就像放在我们面前的佳肴，那绝对是一种享受。

演出在观众雷鸣般的掌声中结束。

该音乐剧于1986年首次上演，其原创人员（creative team）几乎一夜成名。

迄今该剧已在全球22个国家对一亿多人演出过。

这确实是一次巨大的胜利。

One beautiful evening in early March this year my family and I went to see the famous musical "The Phantom of the Opera" at the Shanghai Grand Theater. Love is its theme; yet love in a love triangle. A young soprano named Christine attracts the attention of the phantom who, always wearing a mask, haunts the Paris Opera House, and he falls in love with her. However, Christine's former childhood friend, now a handsome, wealthy young man, loves her, too. The plot unfolds around the three of them. The singing and acting were superb; all performed with passion while the chorus parts were done perfectly in tune. From beginning to end the performance was like a delicious banquet spread out / delicious food put in front of us. It was sheer joy, ending amid the thunderous applause of the audience. This musical was first staged in 1986 and its creative team made a name for itself almost overnight. It has so far played to over 100 million people in 22 countries around the world, a tremendous triumph indeed.
