Erin: So I told Joey that I had no intention of letting him use my car again. Can you believe thenerve of that guy, after what he did?

我告诉Joey我不打算再让他用我的车了。你能相信那家伙的胆量吗，想知道他做了什么事吗?

Curran: That’s terrible, but I’m going to have to let you go. I have an appointment...

那太可怕了。但是我不能和你说话了。我有个会面。

Erin: But I didn’t tell you what else he said. He said that running over my cat was just anaccident. That’s bull. He said I should be thankful that he took Fifi to a veterinarian!

我还没告诉你他还说了什么。他说压了我的猫只是意外。他完全是在胡说。他说他已经将Fifi送到兽医那儿了，我应该感谢他。

Curran: Yeah, I can see why you’re mad. I think I have a call on the other line...

我明白为什么你发疯了。又有电话打进来了……

Erin: Well, I’m glad you agree with me. I said to him that Fifi may be as good as new now, butthat is no thanks to him! He’s never liked Fifi and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was gunningfor her when he ran her over. He should count himself lucky he’s getting off scot-free fortrying to kill my cat. I said...

很高兴，你同意我所说的。我告诉他Fifi的情况也许很好，但那不是拜他所赐。他从未喜欢过Fifi，如果他压完猫后再用抢射杀，我对此并不感到惊讶。他试图杀了我的猫但却免于责罚，那算他走运。我说了……

Curran: Sorry to have to cut this short, but I really have to get going.

很抱歉打断你说话，但是我真的走了。

Erin: Oh, sure, but just let me tell you what I plan to do if he asks me again.

好吧，那让我告诉你，如果他再问我，我打算和他说些什么。

Curran: I really want to hear all about it, but...but... nature calls!

我真的想听你说，但是，但是，我得去厕所。

Erin: Oh, okay, call me back. I haven’t even told you what Sam told me about Ben FeelingNervous About Public Speaking yesterday. It’s a real shocker!

好吧，给我回话。我还没告诉Sam昨天告诉我的事：Ben在大家面前讲话会感到紧张。这真令人震惊。

Curran: Uh...right. I can’t wait to hear all about it.

好吧，我等不急听你诉说了。
