ADVICE

1--You're going to get into a lot of trouble if you do

that.

2--What makes you say that?

3--I don't see anything wrong with what we're doing.

1--That's just the problem. In these kinds of things

the trouble doesn't always appear at first.

2--But everything has been so easy!

3--Everything has gone as smooth as clockwork--

just like we planned.

1--That may be true. But I warn you. There's trouble

on the horizon.

3--You always say that!

2--Yeah. You never look at the positive side of things.

1--Okay. Have it your way, but don't say I didn't

warn you.

===================================

注解：

1)What makes you say that?

动词make之后的复合宾语，不定式动词不带to。

2)as smooth as clockwork：(成语)象钟表一样平平稳稳，

=easily。

3)on the horizon：直译是“在地平线上”。

4)positive side：积极的一面。反义词组是negative side

5)have it your way：(固定成语，多用于停止争辩时)

随你的便吧!

===================================

1--情况也许如此。但我要提醒你们，麻烦就要出现了。

3--你总是这么说!
