Last week, I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I didn"t enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. "I can"t hear a word." I said angrily.
"It"s none of your business." The young man said rudely. "This"s a private conversation!"

【課文翻譯】
上星期我去看戲。我的座位很好，戲很有意思，但我卻無法欣賞。一青年男子與一青年女子坐在我的身後，大聲地說著話。我非常生氣，因為我聽不見演員在說什麼。 我回過頭去怒視著那一男一女，他們卻毫不理會。最後，我忍不住了，又一次回過頭去，生氣地說：“我一個字也聽不見了!”
“不關你的事，”那男的毫不客氣地說，“這是私人間的談話!”
