36. Intermission 剧间休息

            A: You were certainly lucky to get tickets for this play. We had to
            have our reservations in weeks ago.
            B: Tom picked them up this afternoon. Someone had just phoned in a
            last minute cancellation.
            A: Where are you sitting?
            B: Way up in the first balcony. We can see and hear fine, though.
            Isn't it a wonderful performance?
            A: Oh, yes, the acting's good, but don't you think that the star's a
            little old for her part? From where we are in the orchestra, you can
            see every wrinkle on her face.
            B: That's why I like balcony seats. You don't lose the illusion.
            A: Oh, there's the buzzer. I'll see you after the show.

            Notes
            Phone in a cancellation 打电话取消预订座位
            Orchestra 正厅
            Buzzer 预备铃(剧场准备开演前)

            A：你能弄到这场演出的票子真是幸运。我们不得不在几星期前预订座位。
            B：今天下午汤姆弄到的票。在最后一分钟刚好有人打电话来退票。
            A：你们坐在哪儿？
            B：在第一楼厅的上面一点。但我们看和听都很清楚。这真是一场精彩的演出，对吗？
            A：哦，对，演技很好，但你不觉得演员本人比她所扮演的角色略老了些吗？从我们所在的正厅位子上，你能看到她脸上的每根皱纹。
            B：这就是为什么我喜欢楼厅的位子。你不会失去幻想。
            A：啊，铃响了。演出结束后再见
