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：听着,凯伦，我需要你的帮忙。在这里我还不认识人。
凯伦：我很乐意帮你，怎么了？
莎莉：我婆婆刚刚在洛杉矶住院了。
今晚汉克和我要飞过去那里。
凯伦：我感到很难过，她怎么了？
莎莉：医生还不确定。
但是问题是苏丝，她得了重感冒，
我们不想带她一起去。可是不知道谁可以陪她。
凯伦：你需要一个临时保姆。
莎莉：是的，我会找吉儿，以前曾经找过的女孩，但是我需要能过夜的人。
也许两个晚上。
凯伦：苏丝可以待在我家。
莎莉：凯伦，我不想麻烦你。
凯伦：为什么？
莎莉：你自己的孩子会被苏丝传染感冒。
找个临时保姆在这里比较好，可是我不知道找谁。
我需要比吉儿成熟一点的，可能要两三天。
凯伦：我知道可以找谁，我认识一个女孩叫莎拉·瑞斯顿。
她十七岁，经常做这种差事。
我在教会认识她的，而且我完全信任她。
莎莉：我想跟她谈谈。
我知道这很突然，但是汉克和我今晚就要离开了。
凯伦：我给你她的电话，希望她能帮忙，她很有责任感的。
莎莉：很高兴你认识人，我就知道这种事找你就对了。
我不是要批评吉儿或是她妈妈。吉儿可能做得来，
但是我比较想找年纪大一点的。
凯伦：我回家找莎拉的电话，我先打给她。
莎莉：好的。然后打电话给我看看她是不是有空。
