Episode 14: Playing Games ACT I-英语听力

[00:00.45]You like living in New York, don't you? [00:02.35]Oh, I love it. [00:03.42]It's so convenient. [00:04.86]I can take the bus to work ... [00:06.28]or the subway ... [00:07.09]or a taxi. [00:08.25]And there's so much to do. [00:10.43]Lots of movie houses, and the theater. [00:13.40]I know what you mean. [00:15.20]I'd like to live in the city, [00:16.98]but living in New Jersey and the suburbs [00:18.89]is better for Michelle. [00:20.00]Trees, grass. [00:22.49]There's a lot of good things about suburban living. [00:25.52]I grew up in Riverdale, remember? [00:27.66]So I know. [00:28.76]But, as a working woman, [00:31.35]I think New York has all the conveniences-- [00:33.35]including the best tomatoes. [00:40.02]The truth is, I'd like to live in the city. [00:43.07]Michelle's the right age. [00:45.20]There are lots of things for her here. [00:47.70]You're right, Harry. [00:48.85]Today is the perfect example. [00:50.70]Michelle and her friends are at the aquarium in Brooklyn. [00:53.78]They come back here for lunch, [00:55.49]then go uptown to the Museum of Natural History. [00:58.20]There's so much for young people to see and do. [01:00.52]It's just incredible! [01:01.89]Not just for young people. [01:03.01]What about me? [01:04.14]I've never been to the aquarium [01:05.59]or the Museum of Natural History. [01:06.99]Have you? [01:07.77]Oh yes, Harry. [01:08.85]My mother and father [01:09.83]often took us somewhere in the city on the weekends. [01:12.27]Dad was a busy doctor, [01:13.56]but he usually managed to squeeze a Sunday in [01:15.98]with Richard, Robbie, and me. [01:17.47]I used to love to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. [01:20.81]I've been there several times. [01:22.08]Twice with Michelle. [01:24.49]You ought to think about spending more time with Michelle [01:26.83]at all the great places in the city. [01:29.52]Well, perhaps, [01:32.20]you'll help me select some of the great places. [01:35.52]And perhaps, you'll join us? [01:40.41]Perhaps I will. [01:47.51]Well, there we are. [01:48.93]All set for lunch, Harry. [01:50.55]It looks inviting. [01:51.58]I wish Michelle and her friends would get here. [01:53.16]I'm starving, aren't you? [01:55.22]I can't wait to take a bite of the pumpernickel. [01:57.86]It smells so delicious. [02:00.50]Coming! Coming! [02:05.36]Who is it? [02:06.24]Michelle. [02:07.98]It's us, Susan. [02:09.31]Come in, Michelle, [02:10.22]and bring your friends along. [02:11.44]We're on the fifth floor. [02:12.74]Oh, you've been here before. [02:18.91]Susan, [02:21.43]I really appreciate [02:23.90]your doing this for Michelle and her friends. [02:25.79]Oh, please, Harry. [02:26.84]It's nothing. [02:28.83]I'm not just doing it for Michelle. [02:31.54]I'm doing it for you. [02:34.80]Thank you. [02:37.78]I'm doing it for us, Harry. [02:43.21]Well, [02:43.82]it's ... it's important for Michelle to see us together more often. [02:47.08]That's true. [02:48.78]It's important [02:49.65]for Michelle and me to get to know each other better. [02:53.24]That's important for us. [02:58.46]That makes me feel good. [03:01.05]What, Harry? [03:02.23]What makes you feel good? [03:03.54]Well, that you care about Michelle, [03:05.12]that you care about me, and [03:06.68]that you care about us. [03:11.24]Well, Harry, that's because I do. [03:14.69]I do care. [03:19.64]They'll be here any minute. [03:21.11]Susan, I'd like to continue this conversation later. [03:28.07]Of course, Harry. [03:29.75]We'll finish the conversation when they go to the museum. [03:33.78]I'd like that. [03:35.89]So would I.
