Part 3 Playing Computer Games 电脑网络游戏

Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 1

Jenny: Hello, Sam, another weekend is coming. What are you going to do on Saturday evening?
Sam: I'm not sure, any idea?
Jenny: Try the game Counter Strike. It is very fascinating.
Sam: Oh, really? I'll try it. But, I'm afraid it will take up too much time. You know I am so busy. Besides, it will do harm to my eyes when I'm in front of the computer for a long time.
Jenny: Take it or leave it. It's up to you. But it's not a waste of time, and you can learn a lot from it. At least it can help you relax.
Sam: I'm torn between the two.
Jenny: Well, you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. Right?
Sam: Oh, yeah. Ok, see you later.
Jenny: Bye.

讲解：

1. Take it or leave it. 玩不玩都随你，也就是做与不做都在于自己。

2. 这里提到了一个游戏的名称， Counter Strike，就是 “反恐”游戏。

3. take up too much time 占用过多的时间。 take up，占用\占据某物。比如: The piano takes too much room. 那架钢琴太占地方了。

4. It's up to you. 由你决定。

5. Sam 说I'm torn between the two. 我真是进退两难。

6. You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. 鱼与熊掌不可兼得啊。虽然这个俗语字面翻译过来是想做煎蛋卷就必须打碎鸡蛋，但表达的意思是 “有得必有失”， “鱼与熊掌不可兼得” 正好跟这个意思相配。

Dialogue Script 2 对话原文 2

Susan: What's going on in your room? Where did all that sound of gun shots come from?
Tim: Relax. Haven't you ever seen someone playing network games? I was playing a network game on the LAN. The name of the game is Delta Force. Wait, let me first move my role into a safe corner, hiding in the shadow.
Susan: Oh, I see. Cool!
Tim: Yes, it's a death match among several soldiers. We seek and shoot each other in a killing field, where there are all kinds of terrain and buildings. One who shoots the most within a certain period of time is the winner.

(five minutes later)

Tim: Oh, no, my man was killed! I should not have talked to you when I was playing. I'll surely take revenge.
Susan: Oh, sorry, but you can't enjoy your victory for long. The rest of soldiers are beginning to shoot at you. Some of them are even using anti-tank weapons!
Tim: I tried to hide myself behind a wall, but...oh my...the tower collapsed!
Susan: Let me play a round, please! 　　
Tim: Ok, start another round.
