Dialogue 11

NEAR ACCIDENT

laurance--How about that?
soony--What?What happened?
laurance--Did you see what that guy did?
soony--No.I was looking the other way.
laurance--He made a U-turn right in the middle of the block and almost hit a kid on a bicycle.
soony--Drivers get crazier every day!
laurance--Right.Nobody wants to drive by the rules anymore.

注解:
How about that:这是对后果难预料的行为、动作所发出的惊叹.
the other way:相反的方向
U-turn:即三百六十度的调头.左转弯叫left-turn,右转弯叫日right-turn.注意搭配的动词是make.

A CAREFUL DRIVER

laurance--There's a good chance that Mary will get home today.
soony--Teah.I had a letter from her friend,Susan,yesterday,and she said that Mary would probably arrive today.
laurance--Well, I hope she drives carefully.You know how the traffic is this time of year.
soony--Oh.Mary's a good driver--and pretty careful,too.I don't think we need to worry about her being careless.
laurance--true,but,nonetheless,that doesn't mean that all the other drivers are careful.There are a lot of wild drivers out there.
soony--I have confidence in Mary.She's very good about driving defensively.
