　　Part IV：句子翻译
　　1. 为了看一场免费表演人们是在所不惜的，即使表演拙劣。当消息传开来说在我们本地的电影院里将由P. and U. Bird Seed Company呈现一台喜剧表演时，我们都拥去观看了。
　　2. 我们不得不排了数小时的队才进去，在演出开始前到场的人数一定有好几百。不幸的是，这台演出是我看过的最无聊的之一了。那些没能进来的人不需要感到失望，因为很多本来应该来的艺人没有来。
　　3. 那天晚上我们听到的唯一滑稽的东西来自于节目开始前报幕员所讲的话。他显然是非常紧张，有好几分钟时间尴尬地站在麦克风前。他一开口，众人都爆发出一阵大笑。我们都知道这个可怜的人本该说什么，但他真的说出来的却是：“这是Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. 好女士们，晚上和先生们！”
　　答案：
　　1. People will do anything to see a free show—even if it is a bad one. When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it.
　　2. We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began. Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed, as many of the artists who should have appeared did not come.
　　3. The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the program. He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the poor man should have said, but what he actually said was: “This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!”
