　　长对话

　　Conversation One

　　W:Hello Patrick, Is that you?

　　M:Yeah, Jane. What can I do for you?

　　W:I was calling about the apple tree that you were trimming yesterday.

　　M:That was hard work!

　　W:Im sure it was. It true looked difficult.

　　M:Yeah, I m glad it s finished. Hauling the branches to the front for garbage pick-up was no fun either.

　　W:Well, I dont think youre quite finished yet. Some of the larger branches fell over into my yard, and I think you should come and get them.

　　M:Listen, Jane. I dont see why I should do that. You ve eaten all the apples that fall in your yard and you ve never complained about that before.

　　W:Well, it s easier to pick up apples than to drag tree branches all the way to the curb. My kids pick up the apples, and the branches are just too big for them to drag.

　　M:Well, I guess you ll just have to do it yourself, Jane.

　　W:Patrick, I wish you would reconsider. We ve always gotten along fairly well, but I think you re out of line here. The branches are your responsibility.

　　M:Sorry, Jane. I disagree! You take the benefits of the apple tree, but refuse to deal with the bad side of it! Besides, it wont take you any time to get the branches out front!

　　W:Get the branches off my property or I ll have to sue you.

　　M:Yeah? For what?! You re taking those law classes too seriously! I ve gotta go. I have to pick up my son.

　　W:You ll be hearing from me.

　　M:Yeah, yeah. See you in court, Jane.

　　Conversation Two

　　M:Did you hear about the air crash that occurred in South America recently? It was quite a tragic accident! No, I didn t see anything in the news about it. What happened?

　　W:A foreign airliner was attempting to land at night in a mountainous area of Argentina and flew into a hill! That sounds really terrible! Did anyone survive?

　　M:No, everyone aboard, including the crew, was killed instantly.

　　W:What were the circumstances? Was there bad weather, a fire, or engine failure?

　　M:Apparently, there were some low clouds in the area, but mostly it was just miscommunication between the pilots and the air traffic controllers.

　　W:Werent they both speaking in English, the official international aviation language?

　　M:Yes, they were. But the transmission from poor quality radios was slightly distorted and the accents of the Spanish speaking controllers were so strong that the pilots misunderstood a vital instruction.

　　W:How could a misunderstanding like that caused such a serious accident?

　　M:The pilots were told to descend to two-two thousand feet. The instruction actually meant 22000 feet, but they thought they heard descend to 2 000 feet. That s a huge difference, and it should have been confirmed, but it was not. Unfortunately, the terrain of the mountains in Norweija extends of 20 OOP feet.

　　W:So the pilots did descend to the wrong altitude then, thinking they were following the air controllers instructions.

　　M:Sadly enough. Yes- they did. It was a really bad mistake. Many people died as a result of the simple misunderstanding.

　　W:Wow, that s a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other.
