英語播客初級版 第256期(外教講解):控制蟲害

A: Hi, did you call for an exterminator?
B: Yes! Thank goodness you’re here.These bugs are driving us crazy!
A: What sort of pest are we dealing with?
B: We just bought this house and it is infected with just about everything. We have termites in the wood, cockroaches all over the place, and last night I saw a huge rat out in the backyard!
A: Well, there’s nothing we can’t handle. I’ll spray the floorboards and walls to get rid of the cockroaches, but the termites will be harder to get rid of. We will have to cover the entire house and fumigate it. Unfortunately that means you will have to find a place to stay for the next three days.
B: No problem, just get rid of the bugs!
exterminator 專業(yè)殺蟲的人
pest n.害蟲
just adv.剛剛

spray v.噴
fumigate v.煙熏
A: 嘿，你給專業(yè)殺蟲的人打電話了?
B: 是的，謝天謝地，你終于來了。這些蟲子都把我們逼瘋了。
A: 我們要對付那種害蟲?
B: 我們剛買了這所房子，屋子里幾乎什么害蟲都有，木頭中有白蟻，到處都是蟑螂，昨晚，我看見一只大老鼠在后院里跑。
A: 沒有什么我們不能處理的。我們會在地板和墻上噴灑藥劑來去除蟑螂，但是白蟻比較難清除。我們必須先將整個屋子蓋住，然后用煙熏。不幸的是這意味著未來3天你得另尋住處。
B: 沒問題，把害蟲清除吧。
