ACT 3-1 “我确实干得不错。”
【故事梗概】
Richard在曼哈顿的林肯中心外面拍摄街头表演者的照片。Mariyn来找他共进午餐。Richard觉得他的照片拍得差不多了，他决定星期一再去见出版商Carlson先生。Richard利用余下的底片抢拍Marilyn。
Richard: Two weeks. I said I could do it in two weeks, and I did it.
Marilyn: The pictures you've taken are fabulous, Richard. Mr. Carlson will love them.
Richard: Monday morning. I'm going to show him the photos on Monday morning. I can't wait!
Marilyn: I'm very proud of you. You really did a beautiful job. I know he will love the new photographs for your book.
Richard: Yeah. I really did do a good job, didn't I? Hey, you know? There's still some film left on this roll, and there's one person I haven't photographed in a long time.
Marilyn: Who?
Richard: You. [He starts to photograph her.]
Marilyn: Richard! I haven't brushed my hair. [She runs away from him.]
Richard: You look great! [He runs after her and continues to take pictures of her.]
Marilyn: It's not fair, Richard. I'm not even ready.
Richard: Oh, that's wonderful! That's wonderful!
【语言点精讲】
1. I said I could do it in two weeks, and I did it.
我说过我过两个星期能完成，现在做到了。
I said I could do it. : 我说过我能完成。这是一句间接引语。在间接引语中，被引用的部分应与前面的时态一致。
2. The pictures you've taken are fabulous.
你拍的照片精采极了。
fabulous: 精彩的，极好的。
3. I'm very proud of you. You really did a beautiful job. I know he will love the new photographs for your book.
我为你感到非常自豪。你真的干了一件质量很高的工作，我知道他会很喜欢你为影集新拍的照片的。
be proud of sb.: 为某人感到骄傲。
4. I really did do a good job, didn't I ?
我确实干得不错，不是吗？
did do a good job: did在句中起加强语气的作用，应重读。job指某一件“活儿”，前面的形容词可以变化，如：do a bad job／do a perfect job／do a careless job等。形容词不表示工作本身的性质，而是表示这件活儿完成的质量如何。
5. There's still some film left on this roll, and there's one person I haven't photographed in a long time.
这卷胶卷上还剩下几张没有照掉。有一个人我好久没有给她照相了。
film: 这里指胶卷。roll: 卷。
6. I haven't brushed my hair.
我还没有梳头发。
brush one’s hair: 梳头。
7. It's not fair.
这样不公平。这里 Marilyn 的意思是“你没有考虑我的意愿”。她没有特意打扮过，不愿意Richard给她拍照。
ACT 3-2 “它们代表了你最优秀的成绩。”
【故事梗概】
在Carlson先生的办公室里，Carlson先生在看Richard拍摄的街头表演艺术家的照片。他对这些照片非常满意，当场拍板定案，决定出版Richard的作品。
Carlson: Wonderful!
Richard: Thanks.
Carlson: Fabulous!
Richard: Thanks.
Carlson: Terrific!
Richard: Thanks.
Carlson: They get better and better.
Richard: Thanks a lot.
Carlson: This is sensational!
Richard: Yeah. Thanks.
Carlson: What a job! Good work, Richard!
Richard: I'm so glad you like them so much.
Carlson: Like them？They represent your best work.
Richard: Really?
Carlson: Absolutely.
Richard: Well… what do you think? Do have my book?
Carlson: You do. You do. There's a book here. I'll have a contract and an advance payment waiting for you first thing in the morning.
Richard: Thank you.
Carlson: And while you're here, I would like to introduce you to your editor. And I want you to meet the people in the art department. I'll set up an appointment with the marketing people.
Richard: When do you think we'll be through?
Carlson: In about half an hour Why?
Richard: I can't wait to tell Marilyn!
【语言点精讲】
1. They get better and better.
这些照片一张比一张好。
better and better: 越来越好，一张比一张好。and连接形容词的比较级，表示“越来越”。
2. This is sensational!
这太妙了！
sensational: 非常好的；使人感动的。
3. What a job! Good work, Richard!
干得真好！优秀的作品啊，Richard！
1-3以及文中出现的Wonderful！Fabulous！Terrific！都是用来赞美别人的表达方式。Carlson先生用了一系列的句子来表达他对Richard的作品的满意。美国人彼此之间，意思的表达比较直截了当，觉得对方工作成果让自己满意时，通常会立即称赞，有缺点时也会及时提出改善的建议，尤其在公务上更是如此。被称赞的人，一般都会表现得受之无愧，当仁不让。
4. They represent your best work.
它们代表了你最优秀的成绩。
represent: 代表，体现。

first thing in the morning: 早上要做的第一件事。

introduce sb. to…: 把某人介绍给……。
editor: 编辑。
set up an appointment with sb.: 与某人约个时间。与某人安排一次会面。
