　　聽力內容：

　　Heather和Jeremy是高中同學。Heather把作業借Jeremy抄，Jeremy請她去參加派對。今天，Heather去問Jeremy，去參加派對，自己要作什么準備。

　　Professor: That's right, Winnie. But don't you think it's strange that Heather needs help preparing to go to a party?

　　對啊，有派對去就是了，還準備什么呢？

　　Heather: Wow Jeremy, I'm so excited to go to your party this weekend! I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun.

　　Jeremy: That's great. I'm really excited too. But I hope a lot of people don't crash the party. My house is only big enough for the people I invited.

　　Heather: That's really rude! But Jeremy, can I ask you a few questions about the party? You see, I've never been to a party before.

　　Jeremy: What? You've never been to a party before?

　　哦，原來Heather從來沒參加過朋友的派對，所以才去問Jeremy應該作哪些準備。不過，Professor Bowman, Jeremy說，希望別人不要“crash the party”，難道他怕有人來搗亂么？

　　Professor: Winnie, you can say that someone "crashes" a party if he goes without being invited.

　　哦，crash a party就是未經邀請擅自闖進派對，做不速之客。Professor, 美國人都喜歡這么做么?

　　Professor: If it's a small party and everybody knows you weren't invited, crashing the party is rude. If it's a huge party and nobody notices ... well ...

　　Jeremy: What do you mean you've never been to a party? How is that possible?

　　Heather: Well .... I usually spend my weekends studying. So what time do you think the party will start? 6pm? 7pm?

　　Jeremy: Are you kidding? Parties don't start until late, like 10pm.

　　Heather: 10pm??? But my curfew is at 10pm.

　　Jeremy: Just make up an excuse. Tell your parents you're sleeping at a friend's house.

　　Jeremy真夠可以的，抄別人作業，還讓別人對父母撒謊！他叫Heather編個理由騙父母，說她在朋友家住一晚，其實偷偷跑出來參加party!

　　Professor: Exactly. But Winnie, do you know what a "curfew" is?

　　curfew, 我猜就是“宵禁”，一到這個時間，就必須回家睡覺。

　　Professor: Right. So Heather says she is supposed to be home just when the party is starting.

　　Heather: Well Jeremy, what do you think I should wear? Should I wear something formal or casual?

　　Jeremy: Uh, Heather? We're in high school. I don't think anybody even has any formal clothes in their wardrobe.

　　Heather: Ok, so you think I should dress down? Should I wear jeans and a tee-shirt?

　　Jeremy: Yeah, definitely wear something casual. It's not going to be a very fancy party, so there's no reason to dress up.

　　Heather問Jeremy，應該穿得formal -“正式” ，還是 casual -“隨意”，也就是說，是要dress up - 穿正裝，還是dress down - 隨便穿。

　　Professor: Exactly. And what does Jeremy say?

　　當然是隨意穿了。他們還是高中生，在他們的wardrobe - 衣櫥里，根本就沒有什么正裝!

　　Professor: Exactly. The word "wardrobe" can mean the collection of clothing belonging to one person. For example, "I had to buy a whole new wardrobe because I gained 20 pounds over the winter. "

　　哦，wardrobe除了表示放衣服的衣櫥，還可以指“某人所有的衣服”。

　　Heather: Alright Jeremy, I think I'm ready. I promise you, I'm going to be the life of the party. I'll be there at 10pm.

　　Jeremy: Actually, there is one more thing I have to teach you. You have to be fashionably late.

　　Heather: What? You mean I should be late to the party?

　　Jeremy: That's right. You have to make people think you are so cool, and have so many other exciting things to do, that you couldn't be there on time.

　　Heather: Wow .... so the later I come, the more people think I am really cool?

　　Jeremy: Yeah. And if you really want to look cool, don't go to the party at all!

　　Jeremy教Heather，她在party時故意晚到，以顯示自己的社交生活豐富而繁忙! 對了，professor, The life of the party is the most fun and exciting person there, who makes the party fun for everyone else.

　　哦，就是派對上的焦點人物! 啊...我估計Heather當不了這個life of the party!

　　Professor: Well, listen next time to find out!
