LL: I sure do. Before I left, my uncle came by and gave me a new camera to take with me to Yosemite. I was blown away by his generosity.
|
|
|
你叔叔那么好呀！知道你要出去玩还特地送你一个新的照相机呀！他这么慷慨，人人都会感到惊异，而且还会让人羡慕你呐。 |
|
LL: I think the gray double-breasted suit is better looking than any of the others, hands down. And it makes me look pretty sophisticated.
|
|
|
你有三种选择，这种黑色或是棕色的单排扣两件套西装，还有就是这件灰色的双排扣西装，你更喜欢哪个？ |
|
LL: I was thinking of things we could do with these apples. My aunt has a cabinet in the kitchen chock full of recipe books.
|
|
|
你在想怎么处理这些苹果?得了，这是你动作慢的借口罢了。不过，我对你说的你阿姨厨房里的食谱倒很感兴趣，咱们去找她聊聊吧。 |
|
LL: I'm glad you remember that. My first trip to the Great Wall WAS truly a letdown. It was so crowded with tourists and souvenir peddlers.
|
|
|
你怎么到哪儿都嫌人多啊？长城是有名的旅游景点，当然有各地的游客啦，还有小商贩卖纪念品！哎，不过，你刚才说，你第一次去长城让你失望，那后来你再去是不是就感觉好多了？ |
|
LL: I'm not very good at sticking to a budget. I always like to have some wiggle room in my budget for extra expenses.
|
|
|
我知道，规定自己一个月花多少钱是很难遵守的，总有要额外买些东西的时候。所以我总给自己留一些余地，免得到时候没有没办法。 |
|
LL: I'm so tired that I don't think it will be a problem. I could probably sack out now and not wake up until tomorrow morning.
|
|
|
那当然啦，半夜两点才睡觉，早上肯定不想起床。如果你现在回家睡觉，那你今晚还睡得着吗？ |
|
LL: I've been out running. I'm trying to burn all this flab on my stomach!
|
|
|
噢！原来你刚才是去跑步啦，怪不得一身都是汗。哎，你还说你是要燃烧掉什么？哎！该不是要靠锻炼来去掉你身上多余的脂肪吧？ |
|
LL: I've thought about it, but I don't want to get into an argument with them. I've even thought about calling the landlord.
|
|
|
你不想和他们吵，所以你还没说啊？或许你说的对，先和你的房东谈谈，让他去告诉你的邻居。 |
|
LL: If he does, you can give me a call and I'll come over and tell him to put a lid on it myself.
|
|
|
你别担心我啦。那个人要是再来找麻烦，我就直接找我的老板去和他谈喽！ |
|
LL: If that's what floats your boat, then it's fine with me.
|
|
|
好，没问题。那我们星期六晚上6点半在餐厅见喽！ |
|
LL: If the paper is in English, Li Hua, I can help you tweak it by reading it after we get back tonight.
|
|
|
我下个星期要在研讨会上宣读一篇论文。论文是写完了，但我还要作一些修改。 |
