对话1

W: Tom, did you see the article online about the new TV series based on n the book The Three Body Problem?

W:你在网上看到关于根据《三体》这本书改编的新电视剧的文章了吗？

M: A colleague mentioned the book, but I've been so busy writing my thesis that I haven't been able to read for pleasure in months.

M:有位同事提到过这本书，但是我最近忙着写论文，好几个月都没能愉快地看书了。

W: Well, sounds like if you're going to read anything for fun, this is the book. It's written by a Chinese science fiction writer.

W:嗯，听起来如果你想读点乐子的话，就选这本书吧。是一位中国科幻作家写的。

I can't remember his name, but he's written three books in all, and The Three Body Problem is the first in the series.

我记不清他的名字，但他一共写了三本书，《三体问题》是系列的第一本。

I don't want to say too much and spoil it for you, but it's definitely got some amazing technological and sociological concepts in it.

我不想说得太多，给你们添油加醋，但它绝对包含了一些令人惊叹的技术和社会学概念。

M: It does sound like it would suit my taste, but if they are making a TV series based on it now, I don't know if I should read the book or watch the show first.

M:听起来的确很适合我的口味，但如果他们现在根据这本书拍电视剧，我不知道我该先看书还是先看剧。

W: I think it's better to read the book first. It's rare for the show or movie to be better than the book.

W:我觉得还是先看书比较好。很少有电视剧或电影能比书好。

And then, you just end up ruining the book for yourself, if the show isn't very good.

然后，如果这部剧不是很精彩的话，你最终只会毁了这本书。

M: When is the show supposed to start?

M:演出什么时候开始？

I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of data I still need to collect to finish my thesis.

为了完成我的论文，我还需要收集大量的数据，我有点不知所措了。

But I still need to relax sometimes.

但我有时还是需要放松。

W: I can’t remember exactly. It's pretty soon, and it's going to be quite long.

W:具体记不清了。时间很快，而且会很长。

There are 24 episodes. Well, maybe you could download an electronic copy of the book and try to read it before the show starts.

共24集。好吧，也许你可以下载一本电子版的书，在节目开始前试着读一读。

M: That's a good idea. And then, maybe we can watch the series together. Thanks for the tip,Alice.

M:这是个好主意。然后，也许我们可以一起看这个系列。谢谢你的提示，爱丽丝。

W: No problem.

W:没问题。
