Greetings

Emma: So, Mark, I detect an American accent. Are you from the States?

Mark: Yes, that's right. Have you ever been there?

Emma: No, but I've always wanted to go. Whereabouts do you come from in the States?

Mark: Well, I was born and brought up in San Diego. How about you? Did you grow up in London?

Emma: No, actually, I come from Brighton originally.

Mark: What exactly are you doing in London?

Emma: Iwork as an assistant for a television studio. It's pretty cool because I get to meet a lot of interesting people. I also get on really well with my colleagues, and I've made a lot of friends.

Mark: Sounds interesting. How long are you here for?

Emma: I'm here until the summer. Then I intend to go backpacking around Europe.

Mark: Great.

Emma: How about you? What line of work are you in?

Mark: Actually, I'm a student. I'm doing a Master's degree in architecture. I hope to work for an architectural firm in London when I graduate.

Emma: Oh, that's interesting. I imagine you must be a very creative person.
Mark: Well, I try to be.

Emma: How long have you been studying in London?
Mark: About a year, though it seems much longer.

Emma: How do you like the city?

Mark: I love it. There's such a variety of things to see and do. I'm not too keen on the weather, though.

Emma: Yes, it's been a pretty wet summer this year. Even by London standards. What's the weather like in San Diego at this time of year?

Mark: Oh, it's pretty sunny right now. So, what do you like doing in your spare time?

Emma: Well, recently, I've taken up yoga, so I've been spending quite a bit of time practicing it. Apart from that, I enjoy reading, going out and visiting museums and occasionally going to concerts.

Mark: Oh, really? What kind of music are you into?

Emma: Mainly rock. Though I listen to jazz and classical sometimes.

Making Friends

一叶障目
古时候，楚地有个穷苦的读书人，读《淮南子》这部书时，看到书上有这样的记载：螳螂用树叶遮住自己的身体，其他小昆虫就看不见它，要是有人能得到那片树叶，就能用它隐藏自己的身体。
看到这里，书生呆呆地想：要是我能得到那片树叶，该有多好。我用树叶遮住自己，想要什么只管到集市上去拿，再也不会过这苦日子了。
想到这里，他扔下书就往树林跑去，想找那种螳螂藏身的树叶。他抬着头，一棵树一棵树地找过去，脖子都酸了，也没找到那种叶子。
忽然，他看见一只螳螂躲在一片树叶的背后。他高兴极了，赶紧爬上树，准备采那片叶子。可巧，一阵风吹过来，树叶纷纷飘落，他要采的那片叶子也落到地上。
究竟哪片树叶是螳螂藏身的那片，他怎么也分不清。好不容易找到的宝贝树叶总不能不要呀！它准在这堆树叶里。书生脱下衣服，把地上的树叶都包了回去。
回去之后，他一片一片地拿起树叶遮住自己的眼睛，问他妻子：“你能看见我吗？”起初，他妻子老老实实告诉他：“看得见。”后来，见他没完没了地问，他妻子不耐烦了，说：“别问了，看不见了。”他高兴地跳起来，大声喊道：“宝贝可找到了！宝贝可找到了！”说完，拔腿就往市场跑。
市场可真热闹，什么东西都有。书生满心欢喜，一只手拿树叶遮住自己的眼睛，另一只手去偷人家的东西，结果，给人当场抓获，被扭送到县衙门。
县官审问他的时候，他老老实实地说：“我找到了一片能隐身的树叶，用它遮住自己的眼睛，什么都看不到，这才去拿人家的东西。不知怎么搞的，这片树叶失灵了，我给别人看见就被逮住了。”县官听了，忍不住哈哈大笑起来，知道他
是个书呆子，训斥了一顿就把他释放了。
