第 82 课:His hair’s too long.

Linda: we need an actor, Steven. We need a good actor to star in the new show with Mary Beth.

Steven: what about this one? I worked with him last year. He’s good.

Linda: no. His hair’s too long.

Steven: he can cut his hair.

Linda: he’s wrong for the part.

Steven: Linda, we have to pick an actor. We’re going to start work next week. How about this one? He has a lot of experience.

Linda: Mmmm… no. I’m sorry, Steven, but this is an important role. And WEFL needs better ratings. We have to pick the right actor.

Steven: I understand. Linda, I want you to think about these two again. I know both of them. They’re excellent actors.

Linda: I like the older one.

Steven: this one.

Linda: yes, because the actor has to be older than Mary Beth, and he has to be taller than she is.

Steven: nope. He’s too short. He’s an inch shorter.

Linda: then he’s not right for the role.

Steven: the last one. I guess he’s better.

Linda: Ummm… I don’t know.

Linda: I like him.

Steven: Jeff Bennett.

Linda: why not? I think he’s handsome. And he's tall. He’s taller than Mary Beth. He has it all.

Steven: well, he doesn’t have much experience.
