随身英语Reunion? Count me out! 重聚? 别算上我! Play audio file英国的《辣妹组合》重聚少了一位辣妹,经典美剧《老友记》的聚会也少了一位老友 Chandler 的脸面。《随身英语》探讨与多年不见的同学或同事再次相聚是否真的是每个人的愿望。 课文内容 词汇: reunions 团聚 What is it about reunions that make some people reluctant to go to? Is it that they're afraid of being judged by people who they met in their heyday? Is it a fear of having betrayed high expectations? Or is it the risk of realising that the sparkle that held the group together is no longer there? Fans have been keen on a Spice Girls reunion, but Posh Spice is saying 'no'. Fans have eagerly followed months of speculation about the five British singers getting together again. For this generation – now mainly middle aged mothers – it's a chance to introduce the band to their own daughters. But, unfortunately, it’s not gonna happen. They might see four of them. The spoil sport seems to be Victoria Beckham. Maybe Posh Spice became too posh herself to shake her booty on a stage. She's said in the past that she’s got no plans to join with Baby, Scary, Ginger and Sporty. "Doing the Olympics was an incredible honour. That's great. Thank you to everybody, but no more," she said after the group performed at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in London in 2017. |
