3 T021 Read and listen to the interview again. In pairs, discuss why you think the interviewer doesn't ‘belong’ in The Carshalton Club.

Kay So, Lord Parkes, what kind of person joins The Carshalton Club?

Parkes Well, it helps if you have a moustache. I'm joking, of course. We are all top professional people – politicians, lawyers, even an ex-Prime Minister. Although more and more marketing people are joining these days.

Kay And what do you all do?

Parkes Well, people usually come here to play bridge or enjoy the food. Others come here to relax. Like Sir James over there. I usually only come here on Friday evenings.

Kay And ... Tuesday lunchtimes?

Parkes Well, my wife is shopping at the moment, so I decided to drop in. Anyway, The Carshalton also has a serious side. We do a lot of work for charity. For example, every day this week we're collecting money to renovate the bar in the Royal Opera House.

Kay I see. Finally, can I join your club? Lord Parkes ... you seem terrified!

Parkes But, but, you don't understand, the thing is you're ...

Kay A journalist? Even journalists join clubs, Lord Parkes. We're professionals, too ...

Parkes No, that isn't such a big problem. It's just that you're ... just not one of us. You're ...

Решение.

Решение 2.

Прочитайте и прослушайте интервью еще раз. В парах обсудите, почему, по вашему мнению, интервьюер не «принадлежит» к клубу «Каршалтон».

Ответ:

The interviewer, Kay, doesn't seem to "belong" in The Carshalton Club because Lord Parkes reacts with discomfort and hesitation when she expresses interest in joining and reveals she is a journalist. He states, "It's just that you're ... just not one of us," suggesting that journalists are not considered part of their exclusive group of "top professional people," despite Kay's argument that journalists are professionals too.

Интервьюер, Кей, похоже, не "принадлежит" к клубу "Каршалтон", потому что лорд Паркс реагирует с дискомфортом и колебанием, когда она выражает заинтересованность в присоединении и сообщает, что она журналист. Он заявляет: "Просто вы... просто не одна из нас", предполагая, что журналистов не считают частью их эксклюзивной группы "ведущих профессионалов", несмотря на утверждение Кей о том, что журналисты тоже профессионалы.
