如果你把前一部分最基本的初级对话都掌握了的话,那就开始下一步的跋涉——进军中级对话吧.具有中级英语水平的人,也就具备了中级交流的能力,这一部分的对话涉及生活、工作和学习的点点滴滴,有发生在老朋友之间的,有同学之间、亲友之间的，有发生在同事之间的,也有上下级之间的,但不论场景如何变化,它们的共同点就是――交流

　　I Can’t Believe My Eyes 我简直不能相信眼前的事实
　　A: I can’t believe my eyes! 我简直不能相信眼前的事实！
　　B: Well, if it isn’t Mike Li!这不是迈克·李吗！
　　A: Jim Wang! It’s nice to see you again! It’s been a long time.吉姆·王！见到你真是太高兴了！好久不见了。
　　B: You know, Mike, I’ve been meaning to call you for a long time. I’m so glad I ran into you today.迈克，你知道吗，很久以来我一直想给你打电话。真高兴今天能遇到你。
　　A: Me, too. How have you been doing?我也一样。你最近好吗？
　　B: Super. How about yourself?很好。你呢？
　　A: Pretty good. I can’t complain.不错，没什么可抱怨的
　　B: So tell me, the last time I saw you, you were planning to go abroad to study, weren’t you?快说来听听，我上一次见到你的时候，你正准备去出国留学呢，是不是？
　　A: Yes, I guess I was. But as it turned out, I changed my mind. I decided not to go after all.是，我想是的。但现在有了变化，我最终还是决定不去了
　　B: Oh, really? But if I remember correctly, you were intent on going to California. Whatever made you change your mind? I thought you were accepted to Stanford.
　　哦，是吗？如果我没记错的话，你当时是要去加利福尼亚。是什么使你改变主意的？我记得你是被斯坦福大学录取了
　　A: Well, it’s a long story, and I don’t want to bore you with all the details. But what it boils down to is that I decided that going to Stanford wasn’t a very good idea. I decided to go to Beijing University instead. I want to save my money and start my own business after graduation.说来话长。那些细节我就不赘述了。最后的结果是，我觉得去斯坦福读书不太明智。我打算去北大。这样，把钱省下来，毕业后可以自己开一家公司

　　B: Well, it’s very complicated, and I’m sure you don’t want to know all the details. But as it turned out, I decided that opening my restaurant just wasn’t for me. So I decided to stay at my old job instead.说来复杂。我知道你不愿意听详细的个中原由。但结果却是，我觉得自己开饭店并不适合我，所以就决定留在原来的工作岗位
　　A: Well, a lot sure has happened since we last saw each other.是啊，从上次见面以来，真是发生了很多事
　　B: You can say that again! You know, we should try to stay in touch.你说得对！我们应该尽量保持联系
　　A: Yes, we should. Let’s have lunch together sometime soon.的确应该如此。我们最近找时间吃个午饭吧
　　B: That’s a good idea. I’ll call you.这主意不错。我到时候给你打电话
　　A: OK. Take care now.好吧,多保重
　　B: You, too.你也是
