   (175) new exercise class
A: Did you hear that they are going to start an exercise class after work?
B: Oh really? When is it going to start?

A: Has your son started school yet, Tom?

A: The new computer software is driving me crazy! I really need a break!
B: I know what you mean, Carol. I’ve had nothing but trouble with it. They say it’s supposed to be easy!
A: That’s what I’ve heard. But as far as I’m concerned, it takes a genius to figure it out. Can you pass the sugar, please?
B: Sure. Why don’t you sit down for a minute? You haven’t taken a rest all morning. 电脑问题
A：这个新的电脑软件快要把我逼疯了。我真的需要休息了。
B：我明白你的意思，卡罗。除了麻烦，它什么也没给我。他们说这应该是很容易的。

B：当然。你为什么不坐下来歇会呢？你一上午都没休息。 (178)Complaining about overtime
A: You won’t believe who’s been elected to do overtime on the Baker account! Me! I’ve already logged in 20 hours of overtime!
B: Wow! Why so much? I thought they were getting you an assistant.
A: They were supposed to, but so far nobody’s turned up, and I’m left on my own to do the work. This is the first break I’ve had all day.
B: They’re really running you into the ground. Why don’t you ask for some time off? You could take a long weekend and go away somewhere. 抱怨加班
A：你想象不到谁被选中加班做贝克项目了。我！我已经加了20小时班了。
B：哇！怎么这么长啊？我以为他们要给你派名助手呢！
A：应该是。可是到目前为止还没有人来呢，只剩我一人在做这事。这是我一天来头一次休息。
B：他们对你有点太过分了。你为什么不请几天假呢？你可以到什么地方度一个长周末。 (179)Chatting with a newly wed
A: Hi, Sandy. Do you have a minute?
B: Yes, John. I’m on my break. What’s going on?

A：嗨，仙蒂，有空吗？
B：有，约翰。我正在休息。有事吗？

 (180)Chatting about a new restaurant
A: Hi, Alex. How are you doing?
B: Just fine, Karen. I’m just taking a breather from all this paper work!

 (181)Inviting for cup of coffee
A: John! Wait a second! I was just heading downstairs for a cup of coffee. You want to come? I’ve got some good news!
B: Sure. Let me just grab my wallet. You certainly do look happy this morning.

B: This is a first! You must have won the lottery. 请喝杯咖啡
A：约翰，等一下。我正要下楼喝杯咖啡。你想一起来吗？我有好消息。
B：好啊。等我拿钱包。今天早上你看上去真高兴。
A：我是高兴。别去拿钱包了。我请客。
B：这可是头一回。你一定是中彩票了吧。 (182)Offering a cup of tea
A: How are you, Kim? I haven’t seen you around for a few days.
B: Oh, I was out sick most of last week. I’m still not completely over it. You’d better not get too close!
A: I’m sorry to hear about that. Why don’t you join me for a hot cup of tea? It’ll be good for you!
B: Sure, why not? I could use a rest. 喝杯热茶

(183)Talking about appearance

B：不管怎么样，谢谢你的夸奖。 (184)Talking about a new pet
A: Jack! Do you want to see a picture of my new puppy?
B: Sure. I thought people only showed off pictures of their new babies, not new pets!

B: I see what you mean. He’s really cute. How old is he? 谈论新宠物
A：杰克！你想看看我新的小狗的照片吗？
B：当然。我以为人们就爱向人炫耀自己新生孩子的照片，不是新宠物的。
A：嗯。这就是我的新孩子。他同样麻烦，这点毫无疑问。但是，他太好玩了。
B：我明白你的意思。他的确可爱。他多大了？ (185)A newly received award
A: Philip, I was really glad to hear about your award. Congratulations!
