ACT3:ACT 3-1 “你觉得他怎么样？”【故事梗概】Harry离开后，Susan把他们点的饭菜打包回家里和Marilyn共享。
她和Marilyn一边吃东西，一边谈论Harry。
虽然Harry在第一次约会时就中途离开，Susan却对他的印象不错。
突然，有人敲门，来访者居然是Harry。
Marilyn: What happened?Susan: The baby-sitter called. His daughter is sick.Marilyn: What's wrong?Susan: I think she has a stomachache. He's a good father.Marilyn: So...what do you think of him?Susan: He's very nice. But I think he was nervous tonight. It was his first date in two years.Marilyn: Will you see him again?Susan: I hope so.Marilyn: This food is delicious.Susan: He didn't get a thing to eat.Marilyn: You ordered enough for three or four people, but I'mnot complaining. The food is delicious.Susan: Who is that?Marilyn: Do you think it's...Susan: No. [She goes to the door and looks through the peephole] You won't believe it, Marilyn!Marilyn: I believe it. Even without looking.【语言点精讲】1. What happened?怎么了？出什么事了？Marilyn随后问的"What's wrong?"也是同样的意思。
2. What do you think of him?你觉得他怎么样？Marilyn实际想知道Susan对Harry的印象。
这里的"think of"是“对…有(某种)看法”的意思。
3. I hope so.我希望如此。
在这里相当于"I hope to see him again. "（我希望还能见到他。
）4. He didn't get a thing to eat.相当于"He didn't eat anything."（他什么也没吃。
）Susan鼓励Harry回家去照顾生病的女儿在先，又惦念他未吃饭。
注意她在说这句话时的语气，关心挂念的心情溢于言表。
5. I'm not complaining.我不在意。
常在非正式场合使用。
也可以说"It's not a problem for me."6. Do you think it's...Marilyn想说的是"Do you think it's Harry?"（会不会是Harry？），Marilyn 期待着Susan来回答，所以她省略了句子的后一半。
7. You won't believe it.你简直无法相信。
用以表现一种惊讶的情绪。
也可以说"You can't imagine it."ACT 3-2 “抱歉，我失陪了。
”【故事梗概】Susan把Harry请入房间，Harry加入了她和Marilyn的晚餐。
随后，Marilyn 知趣的起身告辞，留给Susan和Harry一段独处的时间。
Harry: Hi!Susan: How... ?Harry: Your downstairs neighbor let me in.Susan: Did you go home?Harry: I did, but everything is OK, so I decided to come back.To apologize for leaving so early, I brought you a little gift. It'sa bonsai tree for your new apartment. Hi, Marilyn. I hope it's not too late.Marilyn: Oh, not at all. We're still eating.Susan: Please, come in. Join us. It's our meal from the restaurant. And how is your daughter?Harry: Oh, she's fine. It was only a tummy ache.Susan: It's good that you went back.Harry: Yes, I think it's important for me to be there since her mother died.Susan: I agree. Aren't you hungry?Harry: As a matter of fact... I am hungry.Marilyn: There's lots of food left.Harry: Mmm, this is delicious!Susan: Enjoy!Marilyn: I'm going to excuse myself. I have a lot of work to do to get ready for tomorrow. Good night, Harry. It was nice meeting you. Harry: Bye, Marilyn.Marilyn: Good night, Susan.Susan: Good night, Marilyn.【语言点精讲】1. How...?这句话实际上要问"How did you go inside the building? "Harry明白Susan要问什么，所以没等Susan说完，他已回答了"Your downstairs neighbor let me in."（你楼下的邻居放我进来的。
）2. To apologize for leaving so early, I brought you a little gift. 为了就早走了一步向你道歉，我给你带来一件小小的礼品。
To appologize for... 为了就某事道歉...3. It's a bonsai tree for your new apartment.bonsai tree是指“盆栽，盆景”。
美国人有时喜欢送给朋友一盆绿色的盆景来向朋友表示希望友谊长存。
4. I think it's important for me to be there since her mother died.我认为我在场是很重要的，因为她母亲不在了。
since在这里是“因为，由于，既然”的意思。
5. Aren't you hungry?你一定饿了吧？因为Susan知道Harry没有吃晚饭，所以她没有问"Are you hungry?"，而是用了反问句，意思相当于You must be hungry.6. There's lots of food left.在口语中，以There 开始，表示“有...”的句子，常用单数形式there's，尽管后面接的有可能是复数名词。
这是语言自然演变所致。
书面语中仍宜区分。
7. I'm going to excuse myself.抱歉，我失陪了。
相当于"Sorry, I have to leave."Marilyn想让Susan和Harry有单独交谈的机会。
句中"be going to do"表示比较短时期内的未来可以推定会发生的事或预订要做的事。
ACT 3-3 “你生活中还有别的女人吗？”【故事梗概】客厅里只留下了Susan和Harry，他们的谈话涉及到了更多的私人问题。
Susan: She's going to a fashion show here in the city tomorrow. She is sleeping here so she won't have to travel from Riverdale in the morning.Harry: You two must be close.Susan: We are. The whole Stewart family is close.Harry: I like that.[Later that evening...]Harry: And then, two years ago, my wife died.Susan: You miss her.Harry: I do...yes, but I have Michelle...and with time...Susan: Is there anyone else in your life?Harry: No, not yet. What about you?Susan: Oh, I date occasionally, but my work keeps me busy.【语言点精讲】1. She's going to a fashion show here in the city tomorrow.be going to表示在最近的将来预定或按计划要作的事。
fashion show: 时装表演。
2. You two must be close.你们两个一定很要好。
must be 表示一种肯定的推测。
close在这里的意思是“亲密的，关系好的”。
3. I have Michelle...and with time..."and with time..." 随着时间的流逝，相当于"as time goes by."4. Is there anyone else in your life?这句话是在委婉的问" Do you have a special woman or girlfriend in your life? "（你生活中还有别的女人吗？）5. What about you?你呢？这句话通常用来反问对方。
