    听力文稿 ( Transcript )
     

    1. Hundreds of children taken from a polygamous compound may be reunited with their families as soon as Monday. It comes on the heels of a Texas court rulling that state officials went too far when they took the kids from the ranch.

     

    2. A construction crane collapsed Friday on New York's Upper East Side, smashing into a 23-storey apartment building as it fell to the ground. Two construction workers were killed, another seriously injured. It's the second deadly crane accident in less than two and a half months.

     

    3. A Miami-bound plane overshot the runway and slammed into this busy street in the Honduran capital. A pilot and a passenger were killed. More than a dozen others were hurt. Weather may have been a factor in the wreck.

     

    4. And it has big shoes, Manolo, of course to fill. The devotees (have) already reserved group tickets for the Sex and the City movie which hits theaters today. The flick picks up where the cult-favorite show left off four years ago.

    A section of New York City on Manhattan Island east of Fifth Avenue. The northern part, approximately between 57th Street and 96th Street, is also known as the East Side and includes many fashionable shops and residences.

     

    3. Manolo (Manolo Blahnik): n. 马诺洛·布拉尼克(鞋)

    Established in the 1970s, Manolo Blahnik has become world famous. His beautiful shoes exude a level of craftsmanship rare in today's age of mass production, and he has a wonderful sense of line and silhouette. These talents, combined with the other footwear sense he displays and exploits, have ensured his rightful position as a true genius in his field, worthy of sharing the mantle worn by the other brilliant shoe designers of the 20th century, Yanturni, Vionnet, Perugia, Ferragamo, and the one he most admires—Roger Vivier.

     

    4. flick: n.

    a movie.
