入門對話【Dialogue 1】
In a Bowling Alley（在保齡球館裡）
Mike and Vicky are on a date. Mike has taken Vicky to go bowling.
Mike：I can always get a sense of achievement here, you know? This is going to be great!
Mike：你知道嗎，我一直都可以在這裡獲得成就感。這真是棒極了！
Vicky：Oh... I can't believe I agreed to come here, just look at the shoes I have to wear!
Vicky：喔... 真不敢相信我會答應來這裡。看我得穿上去的這鞋子！
Mike：Don't worry. They're clean, ok? Let me go first. The trick is to put a little spin on the ball like this!
Mike：別擔心，鞋子是乾淨的，好嗎？密訣是讓這球旋轉，像這樣！
Vicky：I'm not an expert but aren't you supposed to hit those white things in the middle?
Vicky：我雖然不是專家，但你不是應該擊中中間那些白色的東西嗎？
Mike：They're called pins and that was just my warm-up shot. Anyhow, I like to clear the gutter before I get down to business. Hey, why don't you have a go?
Mike：那叫作球瓶；這顆球只是熱身式而已。反正，在我進入狀況之前，我喜歡洗溝。喂！你怎麼不去？
Vicky：Go? Now, that's a good idea. I'm leaving. This date is over. See you Mike.
Vicky：去？嗯，好主意。我要走了。約會到此結束。再見，Mike。
Mike：What!? That's it? What did I do? Vicky, come back.
Mike：什麼？到此結束？我做了什麼嗎？ Vicky，回來啊！
"Dialogue 1" 相關實用句型：
1. This is going to be great!（這真是棒極了！）
說明：這句話通常用在「轉換語氣」的時候。例如：
It's a long time I haven't eat the fruit. This is going to be great!（這種水果我已經好久沒吃過了。這真是棒極了！）
2. The trick is to put a little spin on the ball like this!（要訣是讓這球旋轉，像這樣！）
說明：trick 可用來指「要訣」，通常指奇特的事情如變魔術、耍特技... 等。而 spin 是「旋轉」的意思「將旋轉放在球上」當然就是打「飛碟球」囉！

進階對話【Dialogue 2】
Situation: At a nightclub（在夜店）
Mike is a night owl. He likes to take girls to night clubs. Now, Mike and Vicky are on their first date.
Vicky：It's deafening here! Could we go somewhere a little quieter?
Vicky：這裡吵死人了！我們可不可以去安靜一點的地方？
Mike：Huh, what? Sorry, I can't hear you. Take a look at those speakers. I've never seen speakers that big before. They're enormous.
Mike：什麼？抱歉，我聽不到你說的話。你看這些喇叭。我沒見過這麼大的喇叭耶！它們好大喔。
Vicky：I'm so happy for you. I can't stand this racket. Can we go?
Vicky：我為你感到高興，但我無法忍受這吵雜聲。我們可以走嗎？
Mike：If you can't stand, then we should shake our booties on the dance floor.
Mike：如果你無法忍受，那我們到舞池上舞動身軀吧！
Vicky：Huh, what? Mike, stop pulling me! I can't go that fast in these high heels.
Vicky：什麼？Mike，不要拉我！我穿高跟鞋沒辦法走那麼快。
Mike：Now, check this out. I learned this move in Junior High.
Mike：來，你看，我高中時代學的舞。
Vicky：That's obscene. There's no way I'm doing that! You're one sick puppy.
Vicky：好噁心！我絕不會做那種動作！你這病狗。
Mike：What's the fuss? It's just for laughs babe. Lighten up!
Mike：你在哎什麼啦？這只是搞笑而已，小姐。放輕鬆點嘛！
Vicky：I'm not enjoying myself at all Mike. I thought you were a nice guy.
Vicky：我覺得一點也不好玩，Mike。我以為你是個好人。
Mike：Hey, I'm nice. You just need to loosen up more. Just wait until later tonight. I'll show you some more moves at my place.
Mike：喂，我是好人啊，你只是需要放鬆點嘛！待會兒晚一點你就知道啦！我到我住的地方表演給你看。
Vicky：In your dreams! I'm out of here. You know, you're a real jerk! I'm going to tell all the girls at the office about you.
Vicky：你在作夢！我要離開這裡。你知道嗎？你真是個混球！我要在辦公室向所有女孩說你的事情。
Mike：That's no big thing. None of them would go on a date with me anyways!
Mike：那也沒什麼。反正她們也沒有人會跟我出來約會！
"Dialogue 2" 相關實用句型：
1. We should shake our booties on the dance floor.（我們到舞池上舞動身軀吧！）
說明：booties 是 booty 的複數，本來是「戰利品」的意思，而「將我們的戰利品拿來搖晃」的動作就很像瘋狂地在跳著舞。不是嗎？
2. It's just for laughs babe. Lighten up!（這只是搞笑而已，小姐。放輕鬆點嘛！
說明："for laughs" 是「為了好笑」，babe 是比較粗俗的 girl 說法，好比中文的「馬子」、「小妞」等；"Lighten up" 與 "Cheers up!" 相似，都有鼓勵人「高興╱快樂一點」的意思。
