【英语小达人】奋斗篇(7):非她莫属
Unit 7 The Right Girl for the Job 非她莫属
Two weeks before opening night, our lead actor had broken his ankle and couldn’t perform in the play. We had a big problem on our hands. 还有两天就是开幕夜了,可是我们的主角却扭伤了脚踝,无法参加演出,这真是个需要解决的大问题。
During dress rehearsal a background actor named Lauren,shyly spoke up and said that she knew all the lines by heart. She said that the play had been her favorite while growing up and that she and her grandfather used to act it out for fun. 在排演时,有个幕后工作人员萝兰害羞地说她记得所有的台词,她说这出戏是她从小到大最喜欢的戏,她和祖父曾经闹着玩地演过。
She said she could stand in until we could find a man to take the role. It was difficult doing the scenes without an actor so we gratefully accepted her offer. As the days passed, we were so impressed by Lauren’s great acting that we decided we didn’t need to find anyone else. Lauren was very happy to have the role.她说她可以代演,直到我们找到接替角色的人为止。没有主角,戏根本演不成,所以我们当然欣然接受她的提议。几天下来,我们对萝兰精湛的演出印象深刻,而决定这个角色非她莫属,萝兰很高兴拿到这个角色。
Lauren’s grandfather had been dead for several years, but in honor of him, she bought him a seat for the opening night. Throughout the performance, she looked at the empty seat and imagined her grandfather sitting in it with a big smile on his face.萝兰的祖父已经过世多年,不过为了向他致敬,她为他买了张开幕夜的票,整场演出她都看着那张空椅子,想象祖父就坐在那里,脸上挂满了笑容。
