1 .Listen to part of a conversation between a student and his French literature professor.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Hi, Glenn, I received you notes saying you didn\'t want to act in the play,
该句暂无译文！
3 .Right? I think I\'d probably ruin the whole thing.
该句暂无译文！
4 .I mean, the idea of performing in French in front of an audience just makes me very uncomfortable.
该句暂无译文！
5 .Just thinking about it makes me panic.
该句暂无译文！
6 .I can understand that acting isn\'t for everyone, and the whole purpose of these little end of semester events
该句暂无译文！
7 .is that they be fun and enjoyable for everyone.
该句暂无译文！
8 .Maybe there\'s some other way you could participate. Could I do something on the technical end
该句暂无译文！
9 .help with building the set? You know, like paint some scenery and maybe also work the spotlights.
该句暂无译文！
10 .Well, we don\'t have a budget to make any fancy sets
该句暂无译文！
11 .and the lighting is taken care of by the theater department staff.
该句暂无译文！
12 .Even the costumes won\'t require much effort.
该句暂无译文！
13 .We just usually borrow whatever\'s available from other productions.
该句暂无译文！
14 .But I have come up with something else I think you\'d like doing.
该句暂无译文！
15 .Okay, so the play is going to be performed in French
该句暂无译文！
16 .and while some of the people who attend these performances are either fluent French speaker or learning French others are not.
该句暂无译文！
17 .Many people come, mainly to support their friends.
该句暂无译文！
18 .Since we usually perform around graduation time
该句暂无译文！
19 .we also get lots of parents and grandparents who attend, and a number of them don\'t understand any French.
该句暂无译文！
20 .Right? So I thought that for the benefit of, well, everyone really.
该句暂无译文！
21 .just because someone understands French doesn\'t necessarily mean they\'re familiar with the play we\'re doing Cyrano de Bergerac
该句暂无译文！
22 .Anyway, I thought we should include a synopsis of the play. You know, in the printed program we\'ll be handing to people as they enter the auditorium.
该句暂无译文！
23 .A synopsis? Yeah
该句暂无译文！
24 .this summary doesn\'t have to be long, just something we can fit in the program.
该句暂无译文！
25 .I think I can handle that.
该句暂无译文！
26 .But, we\'re just doing two scenes from the play
该句暂无译文！
27 .the one where the main character, Cyrano, talks about how ugly his nose is
该句暂无译文！
28 .and the one where Cyrano speaks to Roxanne on behalf of his friend.
该句暂无译文！
29 .You know when Roxanne\'s standing on the balcony and can only hear Cyrano not see him.
该句暂无译文！
30 .So should I summarize the whole play, or just the scenes we\'re performing?
该句暂无译文！
31 .Well, what I do is I\'d focus only on the scenes we\'re performing.
该句暂无译文！
32 .Just give an overview of what happens.
该句暂无译文！
33 .Oh, let me take that back.
该句暂无译文！
34 .The audience also need to know a bit about what\'s already happened
该句暂无译文！
35 .that Cyrano and his friend both love Roxanne.
该句暂无译文！
36 .Why Cyrano so willing to help his friend by speaking on his behalf?
该句暂无译文！
37 .Remember, Roxanne has already told Cyrano that she loves his friend
该句暂无译文！
38 .and although Cyrano loves her, he also respects her feelings.
该句暂无译文！
39 .So you\'ll need to cover that
该句暂无译文！
40 .but just as background, background leading up to the two Scenes we\'re doing.
