Lesson 137  A pleasant dream  美好的梦

Listen to the tape then answer this question. What would Julie like to do, if she had the money?
听录音，然后回答问题。如果朱莉有那笔钱，她想做什么呢？

JULIE：Are you doing the football pools, Brian?
BRIAN：Yes, I've nearly finished, Julie. I'm sure we'll win something this week.
JULIE：You always say that, but we never win anything! What will you do if you win a lot of money?
BRIAN：If I win a lot of money I'll buy you a mink coat.
JULIE：I don't want a mink coat! I want to see the world.
BRIAN：All right. If we win a lot of money we'll travel round the world and we'll stay at the best hotels. Then we'll return home and buy a big house in the country. We'll have a beautiful garden and ...
JULIE：But if we spend all that money we'll be poor again. What'll we do then?
BRIAN：If we spend all the money we'll try and win the football pools again.
JULIE：It's a pleasant dream but everything depends on‘if’!

朱莉：布赖恩，你正在下足球赛的赌注吗？
布赖恩：是的。我这就做完了，朱莉。我敢肯定这星期我们会赢一点的。
朱莉：你老是那样说，但是我们从来没赢过！要是你赢了许多钱，你打算做什么呢？
布赖恩：要是我赢了许多钱，我给你买件貂皮大衣。
朱莉：我不要貂皮大衣。我要去见见世面。
布赖恩：好吧。要是我们赢了很多钱，我们就去周游世界，并且住最好的旅馆。然后我们返回家园，在乡下买幢大房子。我们将有一个漂亮的花园和……
朱莉：但是如果我们把所有钱都花光了，我们又会变穷的。那时我们怎么办呢？
布赖恩：如果我们花光了所有钱，我们设法在足球赛赌注上再赢一次。
朱莉：这是个美好的梦，但一切都取决于“如果”！
