标题：美语三级跳 Go English：017A 宠物: 初级课程 听力内容： Tom和Mindy刚搬进新家，打算养只宠物。可是Tom喜欢狗，Mindy喜欢猫，俩人一时决定不了到底养什么。 Professor: Say Winnie, are you a dog person or a cat person? 老实说，养猫养狗太费事儿，我都不喜欢! Tom: I love this new house, Mindy! I can't wait until we get a dog. Mindy: A dog? I don't like dogs. We're going to get a cat, Tom Tom: Cats are so boring. You can't even teach them any tricks Mindy: Dogs are worse. They're barking all the time. Mindy说，她不喜欢狗是因为狗太吵，总是bark--叫唤。对了，professor Bowman，中国人说狗“汪、汪”地叫，美国人怎么说狗叫呢？ Professors: In America, people say “ruff-ruff”. 哈哈，还真挺像的! Tom说养狗好，因为狗能学tricks - 把戏和本领，能逗主人开心。 Professor: That's right. Winnie, there is an English expression about dogs and tricks. It is: You can't teach an old dog new tricks. 我知道! You can't teach an old dog new tricks表面意思是“老狗学不了新把戏”，其实就是指积习难改，固守陈规的人很难接受新鲜事物。 Tom: Mindy, dogs are much more loyal than cats. |
