A: Hello, Pete. This is Bob. How are you?
B: Oh, I'm fine.
A: Where were you this afternoon? You missed an important lecture.
Not sick, I hope. That's good. The next time you decide to skip
class, check with me first. It wouldn't do for both of us to be
absent. We need at least one complete set of notes. By the way, are
you still in timewasting mood? Good. Why don't you come over after
supper? Joe's off somewhere with date, and I don't feel much like
working. about eight o'clock? Swell1. And bring some records over,
why don't you? Okay. See you then. Goodbye.

B：啊，我非常不错。
A：今天下午你在什么地方？你错过了一堂要紧课，我想你没生病吧？那非常不错，下次你决定要逃课的话，先告诉我一下，大家两人都缺席不太好。大家至少应有一套完整的笔记。顺便问问你，你目前还是感觉无聊吗？好，晚饭后你来怎么样？乔出去约会了，而我不大想工作了。八点左右来如何？好极了！带一些唱片来怎么样？好，到时见，再见
