本文是经典爱情电影听力系列The Lake House(湖边小屋，又叫“触不到的恋人”)的第十五段对白。

　　Alex为了追回大狗Jack来到Morgan的门前，Alex觉得似乎在哪见过Morgan，那当然是在他找回Kate丢失的书那天。当得知Alex拥有一套湖边小屋时，Morgan希望Alex能为他的女朋友Kate找一套湖边的房屋。

　　Mona追随至这里，互相认识过后，Morgan邀请他们俩来参加Kate的生日晚会，Alex当然求之不得。

Morgan：Yours, I take it?

Alex：Yeah. Yeah, sorry. Thanks. Come here, Jack. What were you thinking, huh, girl? What were you thinking? She´s never run off like that.

Morgan：You gotta keep an eye on them. What´s his name?

Alex：Her. Jack.

Morgan：Jack. lt´s a good name for a girl. I should get one like you for my girlfriend. She loves dogs.

Alex：Hey, have we met before?

Morgan：No, don´t think so. Morgan Price.

Alex：Okay.
