地道美語聽力播客:想盡辦法結束通話
Erin: So I told Joey that I had no intention of letting him use my car again. Can you believe thenerve of that guy, after what he did?
我告訴Joey我不打算再讓他用我的車了。你能相信那家伙的膽量嗎，想知道他做了什么事嗎?
Curran: That’s terrible, but I’m going to have to let you go. I have an appointment...
那太可怕了。但是我不能和你說話了。我有個會面。
Erin: But I didn’t tell you what else he said. He said that running over my cat was just anaccident. That’s bull. He said I should be thankful that he took Fifi to a veterinarian!
我還沒告訴你他還說了什么。他說壓了我的貓只是意外。他完全是在胡說。他說他已經將Fifi送到獸醫(yī)那兒了，我應該感謝他。
Curran: Yeah, I can see why you’re mad. I think I have a call on the other line...
我明白為什么你發(fā)瘋了。又有電話打進來了……
Erin: Well, I’m glad you agree with me. I said to him that Fifi may be as good as new now, butthat is no thanks to him! He’s never liked Fifi and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was gunningfor her when he ran her over. He should count himself lucky he’s getting off scot-free fortrying to kill my cat. I said...
很高興，你同意我所說的。我告訴他Fifi的情況也許很好，但那不是拜他所賜。他從未喜歡過Fifi，如果他壓完貓后再用搶射殺，我對此并不感到驚訝。他試圖殺了我的貓但卻免于責罰，那算他走運。我說了……
Curran: Sorry to have to cut this short, but I really have to get going.
很抱歉打斷你說話，但是我真的走了。
Erin: Oh, sure, but just let me tell you what I plan to do if he asks me again.
好吧，那讓我告訴你，如果他再問我，我打算和他說些什么。
Curran: I really want to hear all about it, but...but... nature calls!
我真的想聽你說，但是，但是，我得去廁所。
Erin: Oh, okay, call me back. I haven’t even told you what Sam told me about Ben FeelingNervous About Public Speaking yesterday. It’s a real shocker!
好吧，給我回話。我還沒告訴Sam昨天告訴我的事：Ben在大家面前講話會感到緊張。這真令人震驚。
Curran: Uh...right. I can’t wait to hear all about it.
好吧，我等不急聽你訴說了。
