11 .You’re in luck!On the 19th and 20th a local amateur group are performing one written by a member of the group.It’s called Jemima. That will be on in the town hall.They’ve already performed it two or three times.I haven’t seen it myself, but the review in the local paper was very good.
你真幸运!19日和20日，一个当地的业余团体正在表演一名成员的作品。它叫做Jemima，将在市政厅上演。他们已经表演过两三次了。我自己虽然没有看过，但是当地报纸上的评论很好。
12 .And is it suitable for children?
它适合儿童吗?
13 .Yes, in fact it’s aimed more at children than at adults, so both performances are in the afternoon.

这个节目是关于人们如何相互交流，或者无法交流的。
18 .so it’s got the rather strange name, Chat.
所以它有一个很奇怪的名字，Chat。
19 .I suppose that’s because that’s something we do both face to face and online.
我想这是因为我们在面对面和网络上都是这么做的。

26 .The results will be exhibited in the community centre.Then the other workshop is in toy-making, and that’s for adults only.
结果将在社区中心展出。另一个工作坊是关于玩具制造，但是仅供成人。
27 .Oh, why’s that?
哦,为什么?
28 .Because it involves carpentry – participants will be making toys out of wood,so there will be a lot of sharp chisels and other tools around.
因为会用到木工，参加者会用木头做玩具，所以会用到很多锋利的凿子和其他工具。

让孩子们远离它是有道理的。
