聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。
Why did Elizabeth tell Nigel that she was going to the dentist?
I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.
'Hello, Nigel,' I said. 'Fancy meeting you here!'
'Hi, Elizabeth,' Nigel answered. 'I was just wondering how to spend the morning -- until I saw you. You're not busy doing anything, are you?'
'No, not at all,' I answered. 'I'm going to...'
'Would you mind my coming with you?' he asked, before I had finished speaking.
'Not at all,' I lied, 'but I'm going to the dentist.'
'Then I'll come with you,' he answered. 'There's always plenty to read in the waiting room!
參考譯文
我穿過馬路以便避開他，但他看到我并朝我跑過來。若再裝作沒看見他已是沒有用了，我只好向他招手。我就怕遇到奈杰爾.戴克斯。他從來都是無事可做，不管你多忙，他總是堅(jiān)持要跟你去。我得想辦法不讓他整個(gè)上午纏著我。
“你好，奈杰爾，想不到在這兒見到你?！蔽艺f。
“你好，伊麗莎白，”奈杰爾回答說，“我正不知道怎么消磨這一上午呢，正好見到好。你不忙，是嗎？”
“不，不忙，我打算去......”我回答。
“我跟你一道去行嗎？”沒等我說完話他就問道。
“沒關(guān)系，但我準(zhǔn)備去牙醫(yī)那里?！蔽艺f了個(gè)謊。
“那我也跟你去，候診室里總有很多東西可供閱讀！”他回答。
