DIALOG 70:NEIGHBORHOOD PROBLEM

1--We've got to do someting about the neighbor's

dog!

2--Why? Has he been into your flower garden again?

1--The flower garden, the garbage can, and yesterday

he started digging holes in the yard!

2--Did you talk to Mrs. Gorham about it?

1--You know how she is. All sweetness and light to

your face but then she never does anything. They

should either keep that animal in the house or tied

up!

2--I'll talk to Hank about it tonight. He usually listens.

1--We need more than listening, dear. We need action!

===================================

注解:

1）garbage can：垃圾桶。

2）all sweetness and light：（指人的臉部表情）滿面春風。

===================================

譯文：

1--我們得對鄰居的狗采取點行動了！

2--怎么啦？它又竄到你的花園里來了？

1--花園、垃圾桶，而且昨天還在院子里刨開洞了。

2--你跟戈勒姆太太談過這事了嗎？

1--你知道她是什么態度。當著你的面她百般奉承但

從不辦實事。他們要么把狗關在屋里，要么把它

栓起來。

2--我今晚跟漢克談談這件事。他通常是聽的進意見的。

1--我們需要的不光是聽得進意見，我們要的是行動！
