　　译文与解析：

　　17.A) They are both to blame.

　　女：你知道劳瑞用什么口气跟他的室友说话吗?如果知道的话就能理解为什么他们相处不融洽了。

　　男：好吧，也许他只是在跟反击他室友所说的话。你要知道，一个巴掌拍不响。

　　问：关于劳瑞和他的室友，对话中的男人是什么意思?

　　答：一个巴掌拍不响，自然是说相处不融洽是由于双方都有过错。所以正确答案应该为A：两个人都有过错。

　　18.A.)They are in desperate need of financial assistance.

　　男：我们没有足够的资金来对付收购者，除非有奇迹发生，否则我们就等着尽头来临吧。

　　女：我觉得向银行贷款可以解决我们的燃眉之急，毕竟我们所需要的资金并不多。

　　问：从这段对话中，我们能够了解到什么?

　　答：从对话中的 the end of us 可以理解为他们面临严重的困境，而下一段女人说可以向银行借钱解决问题，可以推测出是他们的资金链出了问题，也就是说，面临严重的财政危机，需要紧急救助。
