子曰:“道不同,不相为谋。”这说明能成为朋友的大部分都是因为有共同话题。下面是学习啦小编给大家整理的日常英文对话,供大家参阅!
日常英文对话:Traffic jam
学习啦在线学习网 Dialogue one:
学习啦在线学习网 A: You are finally here. What took so long?
B: I got stuck in traffic again. There was a terrible traffic jam near the Carrefour section.
A: It’s always rather congested down there during the rush hour.
B: Maybe you should try to get a different route to get home.
A: I don’t think it can be avoided, to be honest.
学习啦在线学习网 B: Perhaps it would be better if you start taking public transport to work.
A: I think it is something I’ll have to consider. The public transportation system is pretty good.
B: It would be better for the environment too.
A: I know. I feel bad about how much my car is adding to the pollution problem in the city.
学习啦在线学习网 B: Taking the subway would be a lot less stressful than driving as well.
学习啦在线学习网 A: The only problem is that I’m going to really miss having the freedom that you have with the car.
学习啦在线学习网 B: Well, when it’s nicer outside, you can start biking to work. That will give you just as much freedom as your car usually provides.
A: that’s true, I could certain use the exercise.
B: So, are you going to quit driving to work then?
A: Yes, it’s not good for me, and also for the environment.
学习啦在线学习网 Dialogue two:
A: Is it just me, or the traffic is getting worse and worse every day?
学习啦在线学习网 B: If you think it is getting worse, then you’re probably right.
A: You feel that there are more cars on the road every single day.
B: Congestion is typical in most big cities. But to be honest the traffic situation in this city now is becoming ridiculous.
A: I know. It took me 30 minutes just to get down our main street this morning. Traffic just didn’t move.
B: The congestion is so bad during rush hour that even taking a bus proved to be a dreaded deal now.
A: It’s ridiculous, you get to places faster by bike than by car now.
B: I think part of the problem is that more and more people in the city can now afford to buy a car.
A: Do you think the government will do anything to solve the problem?
学习啦在线学习网 B: They already ban cars they feel are too old.
学习啦在线学习网 A: That’s a good start. But they are going to have to do a lot more than that if they want people to be able to get around the city reasonable quickly.
B: Once the new subways are built, that’s reducing the congestion a bit.
学习啦在线学习网 A: What if it only makes it easier for more people to travel longer distances to work.
学习啦在线学习网 B: They ban the motorcycle within the second ring road. Maybe they could also ban vehicles.
学习啦在线学习网 A: Maybe, I don’t know what the solution is. But they’d better think of something soon.
日常英文对话:Terrorism Attack
学习啦在线学习网 DIALOGUE1

9-11 ?
学习啦在线学习网 Sam: Yes, I was in my apartment in Beijing. Where were you?
J: I was at home with my parents in New York City.
S: Really? Did you see the hijacked planes crash into and destroy
学习啦在线学习网 the twin towers?
J: I didn't see the crash itself, but I did see the smoke and
everything afterwards from my parents' apartment building.
S: That must have been horrible.
Did you go out at all that day to see what was going on?
学习啦在线学习网 J: No, we decided to stay in our apartment.
With all the buses out of service and the underground trains
学习啦在线学习网 at a halt,
many people had no choice but to walk home. It was utter chaos.

学习啦在线学习网 S: Did he survive?
J: Unfortunately, he wasn't able to evacuate in time.
He ended up dying in the tower. S: I'm so sorry.

life not even their own.

walk of life.
DIALOGUE2
学习啦在线学习网 S: Have you heard the news?
学习啦在线学习网 J: About what?

学习啦在线学习网 this morning.

but so far we know that a few bombs exploded on three of
London's underground trains.
J : Was anyone injured?
学习啦在线学习网 S: There were quite a few injuries,
but they don't have a body count yet. The city's hos- pitals

学习啦在线学习网 S: Yes, it was really a scene of horror.
J: Do they know who did it yet?

学习啦在线学习网 I'm not sure that we should have ever gone there in the beginning,
学习啦在线学习网 but at the same time,
I'm worried about what will happen if we leave.
学习啦在线学习网 S: It's so complicated. The sad thing is that there are
so many innocent victims that are paying for this war with their lives.
J: By the way, I've decided to go to ground zero next month
学习啦在线学习网 to pay condolences to my aunt.
Would you be willing to come along with me?

日常英文对话: Drug Abuse
学习啦在线学习网 DIALOGUE1
学习啦在线学习网 M: Are you alright?
学习啦在线学习网 B: Not really.
My little sister told me that her boyfriend is a drug dealer.
学习啦在线学习网 M: Really? Do you know what kind of drugs he's into?
B: I'm not exactly sure, but I know that he was once charged with
illegally growing cannabis plants.
M: You know; there are quite a few people who don't think that
marijuana is a big deal. B: I know.
学习啦在线学习网 That's the problem. Though marijuana may not be so serious,
I think it often leads to other drugs.
M: So, you think it's a gateway drug?
学习啦在线学习网 B: Yes, I had a few friends in university who smoked a lot of weed,
but got bored with it so moved on to harder drugs like ecstasy,
cocaine, and morphine.
M: Did you ever experiment with drugs?
学习啦在线学习网 B: I used to smoke joints for fun in high school,
学习啦在线学习网 but then I started to depend on it to help me through each day.
M: So what happened?
B: My mom found a joint in my bedroom and
学习啦在线学习网 made me go to drug re-hab.
M: So did that make you quit?
B: No. I was upset with my mom for making me go.
M: What made you quit then?
学习啦在线学习网 B: I met my girlfriend and she told me that she'd only go out
with me if I quit.
M: Anything for love!
学习啦在线学习网 DIALOGUE2
B: Did you hear about Nicole Kidman's husband?
学习啦在线学习网 M: Do you mean Tom Cruise? Aren't they divorced?
B: No, Keith Urban. She married him after her marriage
to Tom ended.
学习啦在线学习网 M: Oh. No, I don't know anything about this. Who is he?
学习啦在线学习网 B: He's a country singer.
学习啦在线学习网 M: Oh, well, what happened?
B: Apparently in the 80s, he was addicted to cocaine and alcohol.
Drugs were an escape for him.
M: Is he still addicted to drugs?
B: Apparently, after battling his drug addiction for more
than two decades, he had finally cleaned up.
M: Well, that's good. I can't imagine Nicole Kidman living
with a druggie.
B: That's the thing. About four months after they got married,
he checked himself into a drug rehab centre again.
学习啦在线学习网 M: Poor Nicole. Drug addiction can really cause family and friends
a lot of grief.
B: She's told reporters that she's prepared to stand by his side and
to support him.
M: That's good of her. He's lucky to have someone in his life like her.
B: I think that life is tough enough without a drug
addiction to deal with.
