英語大贏家:243 占座 Taking a Seat
快熄燈了，利莎和同學(xué)準(zhǔn)備回宿舍。明天這個教室將被別人占用，他們只好去圖書館。于是占座就成了問題，他們是怎樣解決的呢？

Lisa:Are you ready to go? It's getting late. The lights are going to be off soon.
Classmate:Yes, I gotta pick up all my stuff, and bring them to my dorm.
Lisa:We don't need these. We are coming here tomorrow.
Classmate:Don't you know? There is an exam to be held in this classroom tomorrow. I think they have put the notice on the front gate of this building.
Lisa:Really? I didn't notice that. What exam?
Classmate:College English Test, Band 4. This classroom will not be available for the whole day.
Lisa:Hell. Where else are we going then? I need to finish my graduate paper tomorrow.
Classmate:I am going to the school library tomorrow morning and will stay there until evening.
Lisa:You must get there early. There is usually a long queue in front of the gate. All the people will jostle to get in when it opens.
Classmate:I know. I have met several queue jumpers, all big, robust boys.
Lisa:Big chunk and narrow mind. Could you save a seat for me anyway? I have to go to the job fair tomorrow.
Classmate:No problem. Do you want me to put your school bag on the desk?
Lisa:No. I have lost two bags because of that. I now just put a useless book on the desk. Here it is, “Fitness Consultant”.
Classmate:OK, I will take care of that.
Lisa:Thank you.
Classmate:It's not enough. You have to ask me for dinner.
聽看學(xué)
利莎:你準(zhǔn)備走了嗎？很晚了，馬上就要熄燈了。
同學(xué):嗯，我馬上收拾自己的東西，帶回宿舍去。
利莎:我們沒有必要這樣呀。明天我們還會來的。
同學(xué):你難道不知道嗎？明天這個教室有考試。我想他們已經(jīng)在樓前的大門上貼出通知了。
利莎:真的嗎？我沒有注意到，什么考試呀？
同學(xué):大學(xué)英語四級考試。明天一整天這個教室都不會空著。
利莎:真糟糕。我們還能去哪兒呢？我明天得完成我的畢業(yè)論文呢？
同學(xué):明天早上我去學(xué)校圖書館一直呆到晚上。
利莎:你要早點到。門前通常有很長的隊伍。門一開大家就會蜂擁而進(jìn)。
同學(xué):我知道，我見過幾個插隊的，都是又高又壯的男生。
利莎:頭腦簡單，四肢發(fā)達(dá)。你能幫我占一個座位嗎？我明天得去招聘會。
同學(xué):沒問題，你要我把你的書包放在桌子上嗎？
利莎:別，我已經(jīng)因為那樣丟兩個書包了。我現(xiàn)在只把沒用的書放在桌子上。就這個，《健康顧問》。
同學(xué):好的，我會給你占座位的。
利莎:謝謝！
同學(xué):那還不夠，你得請我吃飯。

Classmate: Hello, I'm Lisa's classmate. Recently, all of us have been busy reviewing our lessons. We have to save our seats in advance. The classroom where we learnt today will not be available tomorrow, so we have to go to the library. That means I must get up extra early to get a seat.
