LL: And then I would fly my jet to my own private island in the Caribbean.
|
|
|
你还想开着飞机到自己在加勒比海买的一个岛上去！你真是在做梦！ |
|
LL: Aren't you worried they are too wiped out to have company?
|
|
|
你说琼斯教授他们怎么样了？ |
|
LL: Banks often give away candy as freebie or a pen with the bank logo. But a calculator is something I will really use. That makes it a good freebie.
|
|
|
原来是银行在开展特别的推销活动，给开帐户的人送一个礼物。计算机是有用的东西。不过，凡是免费的我也都喜欢。 |
|
LL: But it's iffy that they'll want to play against us again.
|
|
|
他们不一定再想跟我们打球。那是为什么呀？ |
|
LL: But you have to hustle right back, Li Hua; otherwise, we won't make the bus.
|
|
|
你放心，我马上就回来。我知道我们要赶六点的汽车呢，晚了就赶不上了。 |
|
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！ |
