padding-bottom: 74.86%;">

C: so, are you enjoying the performance so far?

A: well, the costumes and the set are marvellous, but the acting is a bit stiff. What do you think?

C: I think you're being a little critical. The actor in the lead role is fantastic. I suppose the chorus could be a bit better, though.

A: do you know anyone in the play?

C: actually, the woman playing Ophelia is a past classmate of mine.

A: really? Is that why you wanted to come to the play?

C: that's only part of it. I absolutely adore this director. Every play he works on turns out great.

A: so you've seen other plays that he's directed?

C: quite a few actually. By the way, after the play, there's always a big party for the cast and their friends. My friend has invited us. Do you want to go?

A: sure, I'd love to meet the cast! Have you ever been in a play?

C: I've never had a part in a play before, but I used to be a part of the stage crew in high school.

A: what did you do?

C: I helped build the sets and find props for the plays. What about you?

A: I once helped out with costumes, but I didn't enjoy it very much.

C: why not?

A: I spent over three weeks sewing sequins on a coat.

C: that sounds kind of boring. Oh, look. They're dimming the lights. I think we should get back to our seats for the second half of the play.

我曾經幫忙準備過服裝,不過我不怎麼喜歡幹那個.
爲什麼不喜歡?
