Our lesson for today is an advanced listening test. And while it's quite difficult, if you've seen Reservoir Dogs, the setup should be familiar. Minutes after a botched and bloddy robbery, the gang regroups in an abandoned warehouse outside town. But who is responsible for the carnage, and how do their tensions play out? Find out the answers in our action-packed listening test for today. Just listen to our test recording a single time and then head over to our quiz section to test your comprehension.

Some nice touches in this dialogue. Curious to hear the way the second speaker added 吗 at the end of the second line. Seemed like more of a statement than a question to me.

I think what the second speaker's saying is a rhetorical question:

难道我就眼睁睁看着小三死在我面前吗?

Found the test surprisingly tough. I was pretty sure I had a good grasp of what was going on until I got my score back. Yikes.

Good stuff anyway. Keep it up. :)

@cerowe26,

Yes. It is a rhetorical question in the dialogue, so you still need to use 吗. If there is a statement indicating something obvious, you need to use 嘛.
