找保姆 I Need A Baby Sitter--Quick! 
 
  
SALLY: Listen, Karen, I need your help. I don't know anyone here yet.
KAREN: I'm glad to help you. What's wrong?
SALLY: My mother-in-law just went into the hospital in L.A.
Hank and I will be flying there tonight.
KAREN: I'm sorry to hear it. What's wrong with her?
SALLY: Doctors aren't sure yet.
But the real problem is Suzy. She has a bad cold,
and we don't want to take her with us. But we don't know who can stay with her.
KAREN: You need a babysitter.
SALLY: Yes, I'd ask Jill, the girl I've had before, but I need someone overnight.
Maybe even for two nights.
KAREN: I could have Suzy stay at my place.
SALLY: I don't want to do that to you, Karen.
KAREN: Why not?
SALLY: Your own kids would get Suzy's cold.
I think it would be better to have a good babysitter here. But I don't know who to ask.
I need someone more mature than Jill. It might even be for two or three days.
KAREN: I know who we can ask. There is a girl I know, Sara Ralston.
She is 17, and she will usually take this kind of job.
I know her from my church, and I trust her completely.
SALLY: I'd like to talk with her.
This is short notice, I know. But Hank and I are leaving tonight.
KAREN: I'll get you her number. I hope she can do it. She is very responsible.
SALLY: I'm glad you know someone. I knew you would be the best person to ask about this.
I don't want to insult Jill or her mother. I think Jill maybe could do it.
But I'd rather have someone a little older.
KAREN: I'll go home and get Sara's number. I'll call her first myself.
SALLY: Great. Then call me and let me know if she's free.

莎莉：聽著,凱倫，我需要你的幫忙。在這里我還不認識人。
凱倫：我很樂意幫你，怎么了？
莎莉：我婆婆剛剛在洛杉磯住院了。
今晚漢克和我要飛過去那里。
凱倫：我感到很難過，她怎么了？
莎莉：醫生還不確定。
但是問題是蘇絲，她得了重感冒，
我們不想帶她一起去。可是不知道誰可以陪她。
凱倫：你需要一個臨時保姆。
莎莉：是的，我會找吉兒，以前曾經找過的女孩，但是我需要能過夜的人。
也許兩個晚上。
凱倫：蘇絲可以待在我家。
莎莉：凱倫，我不想麻煩你。
凱倫：為什么？
莎莉：你自己的孩子會被蘇絲傳染感冒。
找個臨時保姆在這里比較好，可是我不知道找誰。
我需要比吉兒成熟一點的，可能要兩三天。
凱倫：我知道可以找誰，我認識一個女孩叫莎拉·瑞斯頓。
她十七歲，經常做這種差事。
我在教會認識她的，而且我完全信任她。
莎莉：我想跟她談談。
我知道這很突然，但是漢克和我今晚就要離開了。
凱倫：我給你她的電話，希望她能幫忙，她很有責任感的。
莎莉：很高興你認識人，我就知道這種事找你就對了。
我不是要批評吉兒或是她媽媽。吉兒可能做得來，
但是我比較想找年紀大一點的。
凱倫：我回家找莎拉的電話，我先打給她。
莎莉：好的。然后打電話給我看看她是不是有空。
