英语播客初级版 第159期(外教讲解):电脑游戏迷

A : Mark. Where have you been? I’ve been calling you all morning.

B : I’ve been playing computer games.

A : What? So you blew me off yesterday and today over a stupid video game? What game is so important that you have no time for me anymore? What are you playing?

B : It’s called Counter Strike. It’s a first person shooter game. It’s awesome. It’s a multi player game where you can go online and compete against players from all over the world.

A : You’ve been wasting your time on this? I can’t believe it! It doesn’t even look fun or challenging!

B: My laptop is on my bed. If you think it’s so easy then get on line and try to beat me.

A : Fine!

B :Damm it! How are you killing me with a single shot? It’s not fair! I don’t want to play anymore! Let’s go get something to eat.
