LL: But, Professor Jones is the head honcho of the East Asian Studies Department, and you know him.
|
|
|
是啊，东亚研究系的琼斯教授倒是和我很熟。你们公司总裁是不是来看你的。他们想提拔的就是你吧？ |
|
LL: Come on, you had me for a tutor. I'm sure you did well!
|
|
|
你辅导我英语，我就一定会考得成绩优异？你真的对自己的辅导这么有信心啊？ |
|
LL: Did the guy get all bent out of shape about it?
|
|
|
没有耶，那位教授没生气，也没有理会那些学生。后来大家都离开会场了。 |
|
LL: Didn't you see that lady walk smack-dab into the fruit display? She knocked all of the oranges over. What a mess!
|
|
|
哎哟，那位太太把那水果摊撞翻了。真是的，你看，地上到处都是桔子。她是怎么回事呀？你说她什么来着？ |
|
LL: Don\'t worry, Li Hua! We\'ll go slowly. Even if you do wipe out, you\'ll be OK.
|
|
|
那好吧，我跟你一起去，可是千万别太快了。那样即便摔倒也不会受伤。走吧！ |
|
LL: Exactly, maybe they think that if they gang up on me, then I'll be sure to call them at least every other day.
|
|
|
那你以后会不会隔一天就给他们打电话呢？其实，这也可以做到嘛。象我们现在休息的时候，你就可以打。说几句话就可以了嘛！ |
|
LL: Exactly. I know a guy whose father was a deadbeat dad. The poor guy's mother had to work three jobs to support her children.
|
|
|
这个妈妈要做三份工来抚养她的孩子，就是因为爸爸不肯抚养孩子。难道法律都不惩罚这些不负责任的父亲吗？ |
|
LL: Exactly. I think the writers went a little overboard, too.
|
|
|
啊？连编剧都做过头了，为什么呀？ |
|
LL: Exactly. I wonder where their parents are? I'm surprised that their parents haven't told them to cool it yet.
|
|
|
就是啊，那些孩子在那里鬼吼鬼叫好一会儿了。他们的爸妈到底听见了没？怎么不好好管教自己的孩子呢？ |
|
LL: Exactly. Not picking up your trash just spoils the view for others and is bad for the environment.
|
|
|
就是嘛，到处扔垃圾不但会影响公园的景色，而且也有害与保护环境。也许他们是因为没有扔垃圾的口袋？ |
|
LL: Exactly. She didn't see any way to improve her relationship with her co-workers, so she decided to cut her losses and leave.
|
|
|
嗯，要是根本没有希望改善和她同事的关系，那还不如趁早离开，免得再继续受罪。 |
