　　A: I also dislike having to listen to advertisements when they are broadcast in stores or on the subway.

　　B: I couldn’t agree more. That annoys me too. With billboards, you can look away, but with broadcasts, you can’t avoid them.

　　A: Do you like the way that advertising agencies use comedy in their campaign?

　　B: I suppose I do. I don’t like the way that advertising campaign often tells you if you don’t buy a certain product, you’re not cool or modern or something.

　　A: That kind of advertising seems to be very common with brand name products. They are always trying to maintain brand loyalty.

　　A：我不喜歡聽(tīng)商店和地鐵里面播放的廣告。

　　B：我完全同意。我也討厭那種廣告。如果是廣告牌，你可以不看它;但是廣播，你卻沒(méi)法兒不聽(tīng)。

　　A： 你喜歡廣告宣傳里面的幽默嗎?

　　B：喜歡。我不喜歡那種老是告訴你，如果你不買(mǎi)某個(gè)產(chǎn)品，你就不夠酷，不夠時(shí)尚之類(lèi)的廣告宣傳。

　　A：品牌產(chǎn)品常常這樣，它們總是想讓人們忠實(shí)于品牌�！咀ⅰ縝illboards n. 廣告牌

　　W: Mike, come and look at this painting of shrimps! It is so simple yet so vivid!

　　M: Yeah. It is incredible! Is it the work of Qi Baishi?

　　W: Yes, it is. How do you know that?

　　M: Well, Qi is famous all over the world, isn’t he? Besides I am quite interested in Chinese painting.

　　W: Cool! What kind of Chinese painting do you prefer, Xie Yi or Gong Bi?

　　M: I prefer Xie Yi painting, especially the landscape paintings. I can always sense peace and harmony from those landscape paintings.

　　W: That’s true. Chinese art stresses the harmony between Man and Nature, which is an important part of China�餾 traditional culture.

　　女：邁克，快來(lái)看這幅蝦戲圖!簡(jiǎn)單但卻非常生動(dòng)!

　　男：是啊。簡(jiǎn)直令人難以置信! 這是齊白石的作品嗎?

　　女：是的。你怎么知道的?

　　男：這個(gè)嘛，齊白石世界聞名，不是嗎? 而且我對(duì)中國(guó)畫(huà)很感興趣。

　　女：你真棒!寫(xiě)意和工筆兩種中國(guó)畫(huà)，你更喜歡哪種?

　　男：我更喜歡寫(xiě)意畫(huà)，尤其是風(fēng)景畫(huà)。風(fēng)景畫(huà)能讓人體味平靜與和諧。

　　女：的確如此。中國(guó)藝術(shù)強(qiáng)調(diào)人與自然的和諧，這也是中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化的重要組成部分�！咀ⅰ縮hrimp n. 小蝦;incredible a. 難以置信的

　　聽(tīng)力擴(kuò)展：

　　A: I’ve heard some friends say when they get the article, it’s quite different from what they see on the website advertisement.

　　B: That happens. Without close quality examination, we may encounter fraud, and the e-shop may suddenly disappear.

　　A: What’s more, it’s not always so safe for us to pay online as hackers might steal the user name and password.

　　B: It’s said that some measures have been taken to deal with this problem. Paying online is much safer than before, but I still have the feeling that it’s not safe enough.

　　A: I can’t agree more. That’s why I only do street shopping.

　　B: Me too. Sometimes I surf online shops to check some related information, and then go to a physical store to do the actual shopping.

　　A: That’s a good idea.

　　A：我聽(tīng)朋友說(shuō)，網(wǎng)上買(mǎi)到的東西和網(wǎng)站廣告上看到的很不一樣。

　　B：確實(shí)有這種事，不好好檢查質(zhì)量，可能會(huì)買(mǎi)到假貨，網(wǎng)店也沒(méi)準(zhǔn)兒突然消失。

　　A：而且網(wǎng)上付費(fèi)有時(shí)也不安全，黑客可能會(huì)偷走用戶(hù)名和密碼。
