Britney: I was thinking of hitting up Jane for a little loan. You know her better than I do. What are the chances she’ll spot me a couple hundred dollars until next month?

我正在想去恳求Jane来借给我一点贷款。你比我更了解她。什么是机会，她借给几百块钱，期限到下个月，可能性会多大?

Salvador: I think that’s a pipe dream. I wouldn’t exactly call her a cheapskate, but she’s not known for her generosity.

我认为那是白日梦。我不会确切地称她小气鬼，但她并不以慷慨出名。

Britney: What about Francke? He’s rolling in it. He could easily part with a couple hundred bucks without giving it a second thought.

弗朗克如何?他很慷慨。不用再次考虑他就能拿出几百元。

Salvador: You’ve got your work cut out for you if you think you can borrow money from Francke. He’s always been a penny- pincher and he always will be.

如果你认为你可以从Francke借到钱，你已经能抢钱了。他一直一分钱平彻，他一直是个守财奴，将来也会是那样。

Britney: Okay, then help me think. Who do we know who isn’t stingy? Who do we know who is big-hearted and charitable?

好吧，那帮我想想。我们谁知道谁不吝啬?我们谁知道谁出手大方且心地慈善?

Salvador: What the heck. Here’s $150 to tide you over until your next payday.

搞神秘鬼。这是150美元帮你解困，期限到下个发薪日。

Britney: Wow, thanks! You know, another $100 would really come in handy.

哇，谢谢!你知道，再借我100元，那才真正派上用场。

Salvador: I really think you should quit while you’re ahead.

我觉得你应该见好就收。
