應(yīng)急英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)停電

STEVE: Ah! No! Damn it!
DEREK: It's a blackout. Now I can't see Seinfeld.
STEVE: So what? I just lost one hour's worth of work.
DEREK: Really? How could you do that?
Don't you save every couple minutes?
STEVE: No, I didn't save this time.
Damn it! And I'm sick of writing this paper. Now I have to write it all over again too.
DEREK: I've had that problem too many times. So I learned to save.
When I'm writing something, I save every three sentences or so.
I don't want to lose anything.
STEVE: I hate computers. Sometimes I think they cause more trouble than they're worth.
DEREK: What are we going to do now?
STEVE: I don't know. I feel like going out.
DEREK: I wonder how much of the city is down.
STEVE: It doesn't matter. I still can go out and buy a beer.
DEREK: Maybe. But if there's a blackout, probably the pubs are closed.
And besides, I know you have a political science exam tomorrow.
I thought you had a lot of reading to do.
STEVE: Yes, that's true. Damn!
I just lost half my paper, and now I can't even do my homework.
This is a bad time for this to happen.
DEREK: I have a flashlight in my closet. If you want to use that to read, you can.
STEVE: Thanks. I think I will try. Where are you going?
DEREK: I like your idea of getting a beer. I think I'll go out myself.
STEVE: Maybe we can trade.
Why don't you stay here and read for my exam, and I'll go drink beer?
DEREK: No, it just won't work.
If I read for your exam, you won't know the answers tomorrow. I will.
STEVE: So? You can go to the class for me.
Just write my name on the exam book and take the exam. Why not?
DEREK: How many students are in the class?
STEVE: About fourteen.
DEREK: So it won't work, old buddy. They'll see that I'm not you. Sorry.
STEVE: Damn!
