地道美語聽力播客574:寵物石

Magda:Oooh, he’s so cute. When did you get him?

瑪格達：喔，他太可愛了。什么時候開始養(yǎng)的。

Tony: Yesterday. I’m training him to do tricks.

托尼：昨天啊，我現(xiàn)在正在訓(xùn)練他表演雜技。

Magda: Really? Are you having any luck?

瑪格達：真的啊?那你訓(xùn)練好了嗎?

Tony: No, not yet. So far, he just lies there, but maybe he’s hungry and doesn’t have any energy to play. I’m going to feed him a few treats and give him some water in his bowl.

托尼：沒有，還沒有呢。到目前為止，他只是躺在那，或許他餓了，所以沒有力氣表演了。我想喂他點食物，并在他的碗里放些水。

Magda: Uh, okay.

瑪格達：哦，好的。

Tony: And then later, I’m going to take him for a walk. Here are the new collar and leash I bought for him. I’ll be sure to bring his carrier in case he gets too tired to walk.

托尼：過一會，我打算帶他去散個步，我給他買了新的項圈和皮帶。我一定要給他帶上托板，以防他走的太累。

Magda: Whatever you say. Are you sure you need to do all that?

瑪格達：隨你喜歡，但是你確定這些全部都要做?

Tony: Oh, sure. It’s important to keep pets healthy and happy, don’t you think? I’m going to groom him later. I wouldn’t want him to get fleas or ticks. Maybe I should take him to see the vet for a checkup.

托尼：嗯，確定。保證寵物的健康快樂很重要的，你不這樣認(rèn)為嗎?我還打算一會給他洗個澡。我可不想他身上長什么跳騷和虱子。或許我應(yīng)該帶他去找獸醫(yī)做個檢查。

Magda: I really don’t think that’ll be necessary. Tony, you do know that that’s a pet rock, right?

瑪格達：我真得覺得沒有這個必要。托尼，你很清楚他只是個寵物石，對不?

Tony: Yeah, what’s your point?

托尼：我清楚啊，你到底想說什么?
