Carlos: I can’t believe Sarah said “yes”!
Fadi: Well done mate!
Johnny: So where are you going to take her? Carlos: Oh. I don’t know. We didn’t decide where to go.
Fadi: Take her out for dinner, somewhere nice.
Carlos: Yeah, that’s a good idea.
Johnny: I know a great Chinese place.
Carlos: Yes, but she always eats Chinese food—perhaps she’d like a change, try something different.
Fadi: All the restaurants Johnny goes to are really expensive! Take your credit card if you go there!
Johnny: I like to spend my money well!
Carlos: I thought I could cook something for her. I want to be a chef, you know.
Johnny/Fadi: Yes, we know.
Fadi: Don’t invite her to your house on a first date, though.
Carlos: No? Why not?
Fadi: It looks too 1)pushy, too forward.
Carlos: Oh, I see.
Johnny: Yeah. Take it slowly!
Carlos: Oh, OK. She’s coming to the cafésoon, so we’ll talk about it then.(door’s open)
Olivia: Hello guys!
Harry: Alright!?
Fadi: Yeah, I’m fine mate. You?
Harry: Hmm...not so great.
Fadi: What’s up?
Harry: Bindyu’s really angry with me.
Johnny: Why’s that?
Harry: She thinks I’m spending too much time with Olivia.
Olivia: But it’s work! I told Bindyu that Harry’s helping me to fix my webpages. Fadi: (laughing) Is she jealous?
Harry: Shhhh! Be quiet! Here she is now!
(door’s open)
Harry: Hi!
Bindyu: Hello Harry! Hi all! All: Hello!
Bindyu: (coldly) Hello Olivia.
Olivia: Hello.
Bindyu: Did Harry help you to fix your website?
Olivia: Well, not quite. He still needs to do some more work. Bindyu: Hmmppph.
Olivia: Listen, I’ve got an idea—why don’t you both come to my flat this evening? Harry can do some work for me, and I’ll make dinner for everyone. Harry: OK! What do you think Bindyu? Bindyu: Well, OK, I suppose so.
Olivia: Erm, there is just one problem—I have to look after my nephew Joe this evening. He’s very, erm, 2)energetic.
Bindyu: (happier) Oh...that’s OK...I love children! Olivia: Great! Well, I’ll see you all this evening! Bindyu: We’ll come about seven o’clock! Come on Harry, we have to go now.
Harry: Er, OK, yeah...bye everyone! All: Bye!
(door’s closing)
Fadi: So Olivia, you’re spending a lot of time with Harry!
Olivia: Oh shut up you! Are you jealous as well? Fadi: Me? No! No way!
Olivia: Good. You’ve got lots of girlfriends, haven’t you?
Fadi: Me? Oh yeah. Hundreds!
(door’s open)
Carlos: It’s Sarah!
Sarah: Hello all!
Carlos: Hi there!
Sarah: Hi Carlos!
Carlos: Hey!
Sarah: Listen, I’ve only got a minute, I can’t stay.
Carlos: Er, OK.
Sarah: I just wanted to say, I’ve got an invitation to a new art gallery opening this evening.
Carlos: Great.
Sarah: Would you like to come with me?
Carlos: Erm, er, yeah! Sure!
Sarah: Great! I’ll meet you here at six!
Carlos: OK. See you later then. Bye!
Sarah: See you later! Bye!
(door’s closing)
Fadi: Hey! That’s your date!
Johnny: Now you don’t have to worry about where to take her!
Carlos: But...but...I am worried! I don’t know anything about art! What will I say?
Fadi/Johnny: (laughing) You’re going to find out!

小链接伦敦三大美术馆
National Gallery 国家美术馆
坐落在特拉法加广场的英国国家美术馆,主体部分自1838年开始向公众开放。美术馆的选址很具有现世关怀:为了给住在伦敦西部的富人区和比较贫穷的东部的人提供同样方便的参观条件,馆址最终选在伦敦中心的特拉法加广场。美术馆收藏展出了一系列全世界最知名艺术作品,作品年代从1250年延续至1900年,包括超过2300件西欧大师的作品,如达?芬奇、米开朗基罗、提香、凡艾克、荷尔拜因、戈雅、伦勃朗、特纳、雷诺阿、梵高、德加、毕加索等。大大小小60个展馆的墙面被挤得满满当当。
除了游客,美术馆里还有经常来临摹的男女老少。他们自己带着画笔画纸画夹外加可以折叠的小椅子,一坐就是几个小时。幼儿园、小学的老师也会带着小朋友来到这里。另外,美术馆中没有3号和13号展厅。国家美术馆中最有名的大概就是莫奈的《睡莲》和梵高的《向日葵》了。
National Portrait Gallery 国家肖像画美术馆
英国国家肖像画美术馆毗邻国家美术馆。顾名思义,这里专门展出肖像画。为了收藏那些对英国历史、文化和社会作出贡献的名人肖像,1856年建立了国家肖像画美术馆。其中不仅有肖像画,还有摄影、录像等,比如,有关贝克汉姆的藏品就是一盘他在马德里酒店房间睡觉的录像带。除此之外,我们熟悉的名人们还有莎士比亚、女王伊丽莎白二世、J?K?罗琳等等。
Tate Modern 泰特现代美术馆
泰特现代美术馆是伦敦很有特色的一个美术馆。昔日工业时期泰晤士河畔的发电厂,经过设计师的改造,脱胎换骨成了展出毕加索、达利、莫奈等名家名作的充满活力的泰特现代美术馆。它的外观没有传统意义上的博物馆那样古典肃穆,而是几乎不加任何雕饰,并且给人另类的感觉,但它的与众不同却又很招人喜欢。和英国国家美术馆不同,这里的艺术品并不是按照时间顺序排列的,而是按照主题来分类的。四大类主题分别是:历史-记忆-社会、裸体人像-行动-身体、风景-材料-环境、静物-实物-真实的生活。
