地道美語(yǔ)聽力播客882：猶豫不決

Delaying Making a Decision

猶豫不決

Thomas: You’ve hemmed and hawed for weeks. It’s time to make a decision.

托馬斯：你已經(jīng)支支吾吾幾周了。是時(shí)候該做決定了。

Eugenia: I know, but I need to sleep on it. This is a very big decision.

尤金伲亞：我知道，但是考慮一晚上。這是一個(gè)非常重大的決定。

Thomas: You’ve dragged your feet for far too long. Are you having second thoughts?

托馬斯：你考慮的時(shí)間夠長(zhǎng)了。你還要再想想?

Eugenia: No, no second thoughts. I just want to be absolutely sure I’m making the right choice. I’m on the fence between two options. We’ll have to live with this decision for years.

尤金伲亞：不，不是。我就是想保證我做的決定是正確的。但是我在這兩個(gè)決定之間猶豫。這個(gè)決定將伴隨我很多年。

Thomas: I thought you’d already made a tentative decision days ago.

托馬斯：我認(rèn)為幾天之前你已經(jīng)做了一個(gè)初步的決定了。

Eugenia: No, no, no. In my mind, the jury is still out.

尤金伲亞:不不!在我心中，莫衷一是。

Thomas: You can’t leave everyone hanging.

托馬斯：你不能所有的事情都懸而未解。

Eugenia: I know that, but how can I choose if I’m not 100% positive about either option.

尤金伲亞：我知道，但是我怎么能選擇我沒(méi)有百分百確定的選擇呢。

Thomas: I understand that, but it’s now down to the wire. You’ve got to bite the bullet and decide.

托馬斯：這我理解，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)是最后關(guān)頭了。你必須咬緊牙關(guān)做出決定了。

Eugenia: I know. If only I had a few more days to think about it…

尤金伲亞：要是我再有幾天可以考慮...

Thomas: Too late. They’re here.

托馬斯：太晚了!時(shí)間到了。

Eugenia: The painters are here?

尤金伲亞:油漆工來(lái)啦?

Thomas: Yes. So will this be a blue or green house?

托馬斯：對(duì)。所以到底是藍(lán)房子還是綠房子?

Eugenia: How about stripes?

尤金伲亞：條紋怎么樣?
