對話一
Bob, do you know who I saw the other day? Old Jake, looking terribly depressed. Did he get pensioned off at last?
鮑勃，你知道我前幾天看見誰了？ 老杰克，他看起來非常沮喪。他最后能得到養(yǎng)老金退休嗎？
Yes. They made him retire after 50 years at sea. He is pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He really is pasted.
是的。他們讓他50年后結(jié)束他的航海工作。他對此事相當(dāng)?shù)男臒帜軌蜃鍪裁茨兀勘M管他舍不得大海。
He is all alone, isn't he?
他是獨(dú)自一人吧？
Yes, his wife has been dead for years. They had one daughter, Dories. But she went off to town as soon as she left school. And he hasn't heard from her since. I hear she is making good money as a model.
是的，他的妻子已經(jīng)去世好幾年了。他們有一個女兒，多里斯。但是她一畢業(yè)就離開了小鎮(zhèn)。以后他再也沒有她的消息。我聽說她在做模特賺錢。
Maybe someone could get in touch with her. Get her to come back for a while to help?
也許有人可以聯(lián)系上她。讓她回來幫忙一段時間？
I don't suppose she come. She never got on with her father. He is bit of a tough character and she is rather selfish. Oh, I expect old Jake will get by. He is healthy at least, comes into a clinic for a check regularly.
我想她不會回來。她跟她父親關(guān)系不和。他是一個性格堅強(qiáng)的人，而她是很自私的人。我希望老杰克可以扛得過去。他定期到診所進(jìn)行檢查，至少身體健康。
Are you his doctor?
你是他的醫(yī)生嗎？
No, my partner doctor Johnson is.
不，我的搭檔醫(yī)生約翰遜才是。
That bad-tempered old thing?
那個脾氣暴躁的老東西嗎？
Oh, he isn't really bad-tempered. He just looks it. He is an excellent doctor, taught me a lot, and he has a very nice family. His wife invites me over there to supper every week. Very pleasant.
他不是壞脾氣，只是看起來像。他是一名優(yōu)秀的醫(yī)生，教了我很多東西。他還有一個很好的家庭。他的妻子每周邀請我去他們那里吃晚餐。很棒。
yes. I teach their daughter Pen at school. She is a bit careless and lazy about her school work, but a bright little thing and very popular with her age group.
是的，我在學(xué)校教他們的女兒，佩恩。她做作業(yè)有點粗心和懶惰，但是她有點小聰明，她在她這個年齡群很受歡迎。
