Passage Two
段落二
My friend Leo makes up weak and poor excuses whenever there are something he doesn't want to do.
我的朋友里歐只要有不想做的事情,就說一些差勁的借口。
Just 2 weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn't want to go into work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires to put on his truck. Then, he sat down and watch TV with me.
兩周前,他在我家,當他決定不去工作時,他就打電話跟老板說他的車要換一個新輪胎。然后,他就繼續(xù)坐下與我一起看電視。
Not only had he lied, but his excuse wasn't a very convincing one.
他不僅撒謊,而且他的謊言也沒有說服性。
Another time he canceled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute, telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck.
又有一次,他在和女友見面的最后一刻取消約會,因為他的卡車要換一塊新電池。
She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized.
她很生氣,拒絕再和他出去直到他道歉。
Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet.

He'd promised he'd help me move some furniture from my parents' house to my new apartment.
他承諾幫我從我父母的家里搬一些家具到我的新家。
He was supposed to bring his truck over about 8 o'clock Saturday morning. I waited and then called and left a message on his machine.
星期六早上8點左右,他應該把卡車開來。我等著,然后打電話給他并且留了言。
About 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he'd been getting a new set of tires put on his truck.
大約11:30左右,他打電話跟我道歉說他的卡車在換一套新的輪胎。
I guess he'd forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house. I think I need a new set of friends and beginning to get tired at Leo's excuse.
我猜他可能忘了,當他在我家給老板打電話時用了同樣的借口。我想我應該交新的朋友了,我已經(jīng)厭倦了里歐的借口
