19. Bob on the Telephone 鮑勃在打電話

A: Hello, Pete. This is Bob. How are you?

B: Oh, I'm fine.

A: Where were you this afternoon? You missed an important lecture. Not sick, I hope. That's good. The next time you decide to skip class, check with me first. It wouldn't do for both of us to be absent. We need at least one complete set of notes. By the way, are you still in timewasting mood? Good. Why don't you come over after supper? Joe's off somewhere with date, and I don't feel much like working. About eight o'clock? Swell. And bring some records over, why don't you? Okay. See you then. Goodbye.

Notes

Skip class 逃課

Check with me 讓我知道

Feel like-want to

Swell 好極了(口頭語)

Time-wasting 覺得無聊的，沒事可干

A：哈羅，皮特，我是鮑勃，你怎么樣？

B：啊，我很好。

A：今天下午你在哪兒？你錯過了一堂重要課，我想你沒生病吧？那很好，下次你決定要逃課的話，先告訴我一下，我們兩人都缺席不太好。我們至少應(yīng)有一套完整的筆記。順便問問你，你現(xiàn)在還是覺得無聊嗎？好，晚飯后你來好嗎？喬出去約會了，而我不大想工作了。八點(diǎn)左右來怎樣？好極了！帶一些唱片來好嗎？好，到時見，再見。
