A: We've got to do something about the neighbor's dog!
B: Why? Has he been into your flower garden again?
A:　The flower garden, the garbage can, and yesterday he started digging holes in the yard!
B: Did you talk to Mrs. Black about it?
A:　You know how she is. All sweetness and light to your face but then she never does anything. They should either keep that animal in the house or tied up!
B: I'll talk to Hank about it tonight. He usually listens.
A:　We need more than listening, dear. We need action!

A:　我们得对邻居的狗采取点行动了。
B: 怎么了？它又窜到你的花园里来了？
A:　花园，垃圾桶，而且昨天还在院子里刨了几个洞！
B: 你跟布莱克太太说这事儿了么?
A:　你知道她是什么态度。当着你的面她百般应承但从不办实事。他们应该把狗关在屋子里，要不就把它栓起来。
B: 我今晚跟汉克谈谈这事，他通常是听得进意见的。
A:　亲爱的，我们需要的不光是听得进意见，我们要的是实际行动！
