【流行美语】244:令人失望的;吸引力(1/2)


Larry准备在公司汇报工作。事先想请李华帮他听听,看报告内容能不能吸引人。李华今天要学两个常用语。一个是dud(令人失望的),另一个是oomph(吸引力)。

只需要听写文中出现的【男生说的】英文部分,中文对话部分(包括里面个别的英语词组)不需要听写!!
Hints:
Li Hua
Oh
Okay

http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201211/201211090815105971886.mp3Thanks for agreeing to listen to my presentation, Li Hua. I really don't want it to be a dud.
Oh, a dud is something or someone that doesn't live up to expectations and is a disappointment.
Right! I want my presentation to be lively and interesting. If it's boring and difficult to understand, it will be a dud.
You never know. I once worked with a woman who I thought was really funny, and at work we really getting along. But then we went on a date, and it was a real dud.
It turns out that we didn't have much in common except work.
What about you, Li Hua? Have you ever gone out with a guy who was a real dud?
How was this guy a dud, Li Hua?
Kind of like a firecracker that doesn't go off! We also call fireworks that don't go off "duds" .
I am trying to get the slide projector to work. It looks like the light bulb is a dud!
Okay, let's get started. Please be honest, Li Hua, and don't be afraid to tell me if you think my presentation is a dud.LL: Thanks for agreeing to listen to my presentation, Li Hua. I really don't want it to be a dud.
LH: Larry, 什么是 "dud" 呀 ?
LL: Oh, a dud is something or someone that doesn't live up to expectations and is a disappointment.
LH: Dud就是让人失望的意思。你是不是想让我帮你听听,你的报告能不能吸引人啊?
LL: Right! I want my presentation to be lively and interesting. If it's boring and difficult to understand, it will be a dud.
LH: 愿意为您效劳!不过Larry, 你这人这么幽默,不用听我就知道,你的报告肯定不会枯燥无味的。
LL: You never know. I once worked with a woman who I thought was really funny, and at work we really getting along. But then we went on a date, and it was a real dud.
LH: 你们约会的问题出在哪里呢?
LL: It turns out that we didn't have much in common except work.
LH: 噢,我知道了,你们俩这叫缺少共同语言。That date really does sound like a dud.
LL: What about you, Li Hua? Have you ever gone out with a guy who was a real dud?
LH: Dud也能指人啊。那要这么说,我可是遇到过真正的dud.
LL: How was this guy a dud, Li Hua?
LH: 他长得特别帅,可是我们俩出去吃饭,他从头到尾都在没完没了地讲他自己,根本不问问我喜欢些什么。That date was a real dud.
LL: Kind of like a firecracker that doesn't go off! We also call fireworks that don't go off "duds" .
LH: 没错,我们管不响的爆竹叫"哑炮"。我最喜欢放炮了,特别是春节的时候...Larry, 你干嘛呢?
LL: I am trying to get the slide projector to work. It looks like the light bulb is a dud!
LH: 那就别摆弄幻灯了。我光听就行了。
LL: Okay, let's get started. Please be honest, Li Hua, and don't be afraid to tell me if you think my presentation is a dud.
LH: 你放心,我一定怎么想就怎么说。
