We'd better go straight in to dinner.
3
I shall tell Mr. Bryan and Anna.
4
Any more news of the by-election?
5
Mr. Crawley was here earlier.
6
He said his mother had gone to the Liberal rally in Ripon.
7
I heard it was quite lively.
8
I dare say the townies will make the usual stink when the Tory candidates return.
9
I'm not sure.
10
I heard the Liberal was given a hard time today.
11
Mr. Branson said it was getting out of hand when they left.
12
Typical Branson to be there.
13
I hope he squared it with Carson.
14
Who went with him?
15
Er...
16
Not sure anyone went with him, my lord.
17
You just said they.
18
Who was with him?
19
I'd rather not say.
20
Bates?
21
Who was with him?
22
Lady Sybil.
23
Lady Sybil?
24
Why?
25
I should never have mentioned it, my lord.
26
I thought you knew.
27
No, I did not know.
28
I gather you went to hear the Liberal candidate today.
29
There were several speakers actually.
30
He was the last. Did you speak well?
31
I thought so.
32
There was quite a brouhaha.
33
You know what these things can be like.
34
I do.
35
Which is why I am astonished you should not feel it necessary to ask my permission to attend.

I assume this was Branson's scheme.

No. I confess I was amused at the idea of an Irish radical for a chauffeur, but I see now I've been naive.

I told Branson to take Sybil.
39
What are you saying?

Sybil needed to go to Ripon.

I asked Branson to drive her.

I thought it would be sensible.
43
in case it was trouble.
44
I want to do some canvassing.
45
The by-election isn't far off.
46
Canvassing?
47
Well, it's quite safe.
48
You're in a group and you knock on doors.
49
Yes, I know what canvassing is.
50
I think that Sybil is...
51
What?
52
Are you canvassing too?
53
Or would you rather take in washing?
54
I was only going to say that Sybil is entitled to her opinions.
55
No. She isn't until she is married.
56
Then her husband will tell her what her opinions are.
57
Oh, cranny.
58
I knew you meant to prove.
59
Which presumably is why you all hid your plans from me.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
