A: I’m forming a music band.
B: Do you already know how to play an instrument?
A: Uh... Yeah! I’ve told you a thousand times that I’m learning to play the drums. Now that I know how to play well, I would like to form a rock band.
B: Aside from yourself, who are the other members of the band?
A: We have a guy who plays guitar, and another who plays bass. Although we still haven’t found anyone to be our singer. You told me that you had some musical talent, right?
B: Yes, I’m a singer.
A: Perfect. So you can audition this weekend here at my house.
B: Great! Wait here? You don’t have enough room for the amplifiers, microphones or even your drums! By the way where do you keep them or practice?
A: Dude? What are you talking about? It’s right here! All we need is my Nintendo Wii and we are set!

参考译文
A: 我正在组建一支乐队。
B: 你已经学会如何弹奏乐器了吗？
A:我告诉过你很多次了，我正在学习敲鼓。既然我学会了如何能表演得更好，我会组建一只摇滚乐队。
B:除了你，其他的乐队成员呢？
A:有1人弹吉他，另2个弹贝斯，尽管我们目前还没找到主唱。你告诉过我你有音乐天赋，对吧？
B:是的，我是歌手。
A:太好了。这周你可以来我家试唱。
B:太好了。等下。你家没有足够的空间来放扩音机，麦克风，甚至连放鼓的地方都没有。顺便问下，你将乐器放哪儿？在何处练习呢？
