【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Hi, did you hear about my upcoming trip to New York?
M: I think 1 did hear something about it. You and Henry are attending some kind of function, right?
W: Yeah. It"s an anniversary celebration for one of the companies we do a lot of work with, you know, Walcon Electronics.
M: Right! Walcon is one of our biggest clients.
W: It"s Walcon"s 120th anniversary and they"re throwing a big party.
M: Well, you"ll have fun.
W: Yeah. But I"m a bit worried. I"ve never attended a function like this before. Look, here"s the invitation.
M: Oh!
It"s a black-tie event. That means you have to wear an evening gown.
W: What? I don"t own an evening gown!
M:
Not many people do. You can rent one, though.
W: Oh wow! That means it"s going to be a very formal event, huh?
M: A black-tie event is about as formal as it gets. Men wear tuxedos and ladies wear evening gowns.
W: What else should I expect?
M:
Waiters will walk around serving drinks. Most of the guests will mainly stand around socializing with each other.
W: Have you ever been to a black-tie event?
M:
Twice actually. And to be honest, it was a bit boring both times.
W: Aside from the dressing, is there anything else I need to wear or take with me?
M: I suggest keeping all other accessories to a minimum.
W: I see. Any other tips or suggestions?
M: Keep your eyes open and just sort of do what everybody else does.
And don"t get drunk or talk too loud or draw any attention to yourself!
W: OK, good points.
M: You and Henry are acting as representatives of the company so you"re kind of like ambassadors.
W: Wow! Now I"m really stressed!
M: It"s not that hard. Just be a good conversationalist and even more importantly, be a good listener. If someone makes a humorous remark, chuckle mildly, even if the comment isn"t very funny. And remember, always smile!
W: Can I rent the evening gown in New York?
M: Absolutely. Do some research before you go and find a good rental company. They will probably deliver it to your hotel. Make sure the dress fits well; otherwise, you can end up looking pretty silly.
W: How much should I expect to pay to rent an evening gown?
M: I"d say roughly $100. You could probably find some cheaper options, but you want to look good.
W: Thanks, Gary. I really appreciate your help.
M: Not at all. It should be an interesting experience for you.
W: I hope so.
