Todd: Oh, sorry, we are late. How long has the play been on?
Usher: No, even the overture hasn't started yet. There are still 10 minutes left.
Todd: Oops! I forgot that I set forward my watch.
Usher: OK. Have you reserved any seats?
Todd: Yeah. Two seats at the dress circle. What should I do to get in?
Usher: Go to the barrier and show your tickets to get in.
Todd: How can I find my seat? You know it's quite a big theater and it will be really crowded then.
Usher: We have ushers to show you to your seats.
Todd: May I take any photographs during the show?
Usher: Sorry, but I'm afraid not. And make sure to set your cell phone to vibrant state.
Todd: Sure. Where is the entrance?
Usher: Right over there, around the corner. See? People are already lined up.
Todd: Oh, stupid question. Anything else?
Usher: Nope. Here are the programmes. Enjoy the performance.
Todd: Thanks. Can't wait to listen to the fantasia!

托德:哦,对不起,我们迟到了。演出开始多久了?
招待员:没有,连序幕都没有开始呢。还有十分钟。
托德:噢!我忘记把手表拨快了。
招待员:没事。你们预定座位了吗?
托德:是的。两个前排的位置。我该从哪里进去啊?
招待员:去那边检票处,出示一下您的票就可以进去了。
托德:我怎么才能找到我的座位啊?你知道,这是一个相当大的剧院,待会儿一定会很拥挤的。
招待员:我们有引座员引领您去您的座位。
托德:演出时我可以拍照片吗?
招待员:对不起,恐怕不行。另外,一定要把您的手机调成震动状态。
托德:好的。入口在哪里?
招待员:就在那边,转角那里。看到没?已经有人在排队了。
托德:哦,我的问题好傻啊。还有别的事情吗?
招待员:没有了。这是节目单。祝您愉快。
托德:谢谢。等不及想听狂想曲了。

Usher: I'm an usher in a theater. Today, there was something really interesting. A man thought he was late for the play. I told him that even the overture hadn't started yet. Then he recollected that he had set forward his watch. After that, I told him how to get in the theater and how to find his reserved seats. I wished him to enjoy the performance, too.
