跟著偶像劇的腳步學生活英語會話

　　轉開電視頻道，不難發現眾多電視台正同時播送著中日韓台等國的電視偶像劇，也許沒有24小時全日候播送，但觀眾幾乎隨時想看都看的到，足見其受歡迎之熱烈程度。

　　偶像劇裡的部分劇情對很多人來說，過於天馬行空，但卻是這樣的劇情叫人心神嚮往，讓人願意每日守在電視機前，享受如癡如醉的片晌一刻。

　　拜全球化之賜，台灣觀眾打開電視便能輕易的接收到各國的電視偶像劇，這更加地凸顯語言的在這個各國大量且迅速交流的時代的重要性，此外，我們也經常聽到語言學習者常問偶像劇中，哪句經典話語的英文如何表達，總怕自己說出口的過於生硬，或者落入台式英文的窘境。如能同時滿足學習者對於偶像劇的興趣，與英文學習之需要，學習各種生活情境中使用到的道地英文，則是皆大歡喜、事半功倍！

　　鑑於此，倍斯特編輯部於本書精心規劃80英文會話單元，讓主角們在浪漫卻又實際的情境中的對話，帶領讀者在又笑又哭之餘學習英文，對話內容生動活潑，語言也力求精準道地，在此與各位讀者分享。

情境7　迷路小孩不要怕

Let’s Talk in Love

Matt is taking his time enjoying his holiday by himself in a famous sightseeing spot. When he gets to an area where there are more tourists, he finds a little boy sitting alone on a bench crying. Looking around, Matt doesn’t find his family; he approaches the boy...

Matt 到一處知名風景區享受一個人的休假時光。當他來到人潮較多的區域時，發現有一位小男孩獨自坐在長椅上哭泣，四周看起來並沒有小男孩的家人，於是他趨前關心…

Matt Got lost, boy? Why are you crying alone here?
Boy Boohoo! I want Daddy and Mommy.
Grace Excuse me. What have you done to this boy?
Matt Oh, I saw that he seems to separate from his parents, so I came to see if I could do something about it. Do I look like a bad guy?
Grace I’m really sorry. I might get you
wrong. Let me try. Where’s your daddy and mommy, little boy?

小弟弟，你迷路了嗎？怎麼一個人在這裡哭？
嗚嗚～我要我的爸比跟媽咪。
不好意思，請問你要對這個小男孩做甚麼！？
喔，我看他好像跟父母走散了，所以就過來問問能否幫上忙。我看起來這麼像壞人嗎？
真對不起，可能是我誤會了。讓我來試試看吧。小弟弟，你的爸爸媽媽呢？

Boy Boohoo! I ran here to see the fountain. When I turned around, Daddy and Mommy are just gone.
Grace Don’t cry. Let’s go looking for your daddy and mommy, OK?
Boy Boohoo! OK.
Matt Impressive! My name is Matt Hughes. You girls are good at lulling kids.
Grace That’s not true. Men can do this quite well, too. You just don’t spend enough time with kids.
Matt At least in this case, you are way better than me.
Grace In for one penny, in for one pound. You come and help. Let’s go to the visitor center first.

嗚嗚～我剛剛跑過來這裡看噴水池，一回頭爸比跟媽咪就不見了。
不要哭，讓我帶你去找爸爸媽媽好不好？
嗚嗚～好。
佩服！我叫 Matt Hughes，果然還是女生比較會哄小孩。
才不是這樣，男生也可以做得很好，你們只是沒有花足夠的時間陪伴小孩。
至少現在這情況，妳比我厲害多了。
好人做到底，你也跟過來幫忙吧。我們先到遊客中心去問問。
