DIALOG 31
ADVICE

1--You're going to get into a lot of trouble if you do that.
2--What makes you say that?
3--I don't see anything wrong with what we're doing.
1--That's just the problem. In these kinds of things the trouble doesn't always appear at first.
2--But everything has been so easy!
3--Everything has gone as smooth as clockwork--just like we planned.
1--That may be true. But I warn you. There's trouble on the horizon.
3--You always say that!
2--Yeah. You never look at the positive side of things.
1--Okay. Have it your way, but don't say I didn't warn you.

===================================
注解：

1）What makes you say that?
动词make之后的复合宾语，不定式动词不带to。
2）as smooth as clockwork：（成语）象钟表一样平平稳稳，=easily。
3）on the horizon：直译是“在地平线上”。
4）positive side：积极的一面。反义词组是negative side
5）have it your way：（固定成语，多用于停止争辩时）
随你的便吧！

DIALOG 32

DISCUSSING THE ECONOMY

1--The economic news doesn't look good, does it?
2--Not according to the newspaper yesterday. I saw a similar report last night on TV.
1--I saw that, too. The analysis seemed to be quite realistic.
2--I hope they're wrong. We really need to get the rising price structure under control.
1--Well, costs seem to be rising in so many categories that it appears to defeat any efforts at stabilization.

1--There may be some relief this summer. I understand the price of some foodstuffs will decrease.

===================================

1）economic news:报道经济形势的新闻
2）Not according to the newspaper yesterday:
这是一个省略句。=It doesn't look good according to t
