FINDING A BABY-SITTER
Laurance- Can you get a baby-sitter for tonight?
Soony- I don't know. Why?
Laurance- Well, I thought we could go out for dinner and then go to a movie afterward.
Soony- I can call Debbie and see if she's available. She usually doesn't like to sit during the week, but she might make an exception.
Laurance- Well, do that, and then call me at the office if you have any luck.
Soony- Okay, but don't get your hopes too high. It's hard to find a good baby-sitter these days.
注解：
1）baby-sitter：指临时为人照看孩子的人。美国很多女中学生、
大学生课余替人看孩子，挣些零花钱。
2）sit during the week = baby-sit on weekdays
3）make an exception：做例外处理。make no exception：概部例外。
4）if you have any luck = if you are successful;也可直译为
“如果你有运气能办成的话”
