新概念英語第二冊 Lesson 1:A private conversation

課文內容：

Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 『I can"t hear a word!』 I said angrily.

『It"s none of your business, 』 the young man said rudely. 『This is a private conversation!』

5 I could not bear it．我無法忍受。 其中的it是指上文中的那對男女大聲說話又不理會作者的憤怒目光。

6 none of your business，不關你的事。

參考譯文:

上星期我去看戲。我的座位很好，戲很有意思，但我卻無法欣賞。一青年男子與一青年女子坐在我的身後，大聲地說著話。我非常生氣，因為我聽不見演員在說什麼。我回過頭去怒視著那一男一女，他們卻毫不理會。最後，我忍不住了，又一次回過頭去，生氣地說：「我一個字也聽不見了！」 「不關你的事，」那男的毫不客氣地說，「這是私人間的談話！」
