LL: It is my pleasure. I am always glad to help a friend in a pinch.
|
|
|
我们都知道你是乐于帮助朋友解决困难的。好，现在要想办法解决你的问题了。 |
|
LL: It really isn't. We would have to spend megabucks buying lottery tickets to even have a small chance of winning.
|
|
|
我就知道嘛，这种机会是很小的。即便花好多钱去买好多彩票，我们也不见得会赢。与其这么毫无希望地等着中彩票还不如我们自己去赚大钱呢。 |
|
LL: It's hard to enjoy the day with such noisy kids around. I'm considering going over there myself and telling them to cool it.
|
|
|
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: It's never that easy. A lot of westerners are like me, they grow flab very easily. If I don't exercise, the flab won't go away.
|
|
|
西方人好象是很容易发胖，一旦胖了就很难瘦下去。如果不运动，肥肉就不会消失？我倒不认为所有的西方人都像这样。 |
|
LL: Last week, I was really stressed over the exams. I was so spaced out that I forgot my father's birthday. I felt terrible.
|
|
|
什么，因为要考试，你紧张得连你爸爸的生日也忘记啦？那你爸爸肯定很生气罗？ |
|
LL: Li Hua, I told you that we need to hit the road by 9:00 am if we're going to make it to my parents' house before dark.
|
|
|
我知道！你说过要在天黑以前到啊，就必须9点前出发．我只要再几分钟就好啦。 |
|
LL: Look - I\'m wearing a dress shirt with a tie, khaki pants and glasses. This is the uniform of a square.
|
|
|
这我还没有听说！衬衫加领带，一条卡基其布裤子，再带上一付眼镜，这就成了赶不上潮流的典型制服？ |
|
LL: Maybe you could conk out early tonight and do your homework in the morning before class.
|
|
|
啊？你要我早点去睡，明天早上再起来做功课？不行，不行，我如果还有功课没做完，我是睡不着的。 |
|
LL: My dad is the same way about eating out, too. I hope that when I have kids I won't be such a tightwad.
|
|
|
你爸爸也不肯出去吃饭哪！我看你呀，Larry，有了孩子后绝不会像你爸爸那样。其实，作父母的也不容易，要养家，要供孩子读书，花销很大啊。 |
|
LL: My landlord is out of town for the weekend, so I'm up a creek until he gets back on Monday.
|
|
|
什么？你的房东出远门，要到星期一才会回来？那可真麻烦了。也许你可以找个锁匠来开锁？ |
|
LL: My stomach hurts. I think I went overboard with the popcorn.
|
|
|
我刚才就告诉你别吃那么多爆米花，你看，现在胃开始疼了吧？ |
