英語播客初級版 第217期(外教講解):胡子

Officer Brown: OK,Sally, we have an artist here to help us. We’ll ask you questions about the bank robber you saw and Paul will draw a picture. Are you ready?
Sally: Yes, hmmm. Well, he had brown hair... long hair...and he had some facial hair... was brown, too.
Officer Brown: Good! Ok, the facial hair, was it a beard or a mustache?
Sally: Both! His mustache was very short and thin, on the top of his lip.
Paul: un-uh hmmm..., like this?
Sally: Yes, that’s the mustache! But the beard isn’t right, mean, it didn’t cover his whole face... think it was just on his chin.
Officer Brown: A goatee? Was it like Paul’s?
Sally: Ah yes, that’s it, he had a goatee...
Paul: Okay, what about sideburns? Did he have sideburns?
Sally: Um, they were long and thick, yours!
Paul: Alright, was this the man you saw?
Sally: Yes, that’s him! Hmmmmm, he looks a lot like you.
Officer Brown: Hmmm, why yes he does. Paul, where were you on Friday afternoon?
Paul: What? That’s ridiculous! It wasn’t me! I didn’t do anything.

Officer Brown: 好的，Sally，這兒有個畫家來幫我們。我們將要問你有關(guān)銀行劫匪的問題，Paul：將會畫出那個人的長相。你準備好了嗎?
Sally: 是的，他有著棕色的頭發(fā)……長頭發(fā)……他有些胡子……也是棕色的。
Officer Brown: 好的，是胡須還是小胡子?
Sally: 都有。他的胡子很短，很細，長在嘴唇的上面。
Paul:像這樣?
Sally: 是的，是那類胡須。但胡須不對，我的意思是，胡子并沒有長滿臉，胡子只長在下巴處。
Officer Brown: 山羊胡?像Paul的那樣胡子?
Sally:對，他長著山羊胡.
Paul：是連鬢胡子嗎?他有連鬢胡子嗎?
Sally: 胡子又長又密，很像你的胡子。
Paul：好的，這是你看到的那個人嗎?
Sally:正是他。他看起來很像你。
Officer Brown: 確實很像。Paul，周五下午你在哪兒?
Paul: 什么?那太可笑了。根本不是我，我什么都沒做。
