Carole: It is beyond me how you and Oscar can be roommates. You’re very tidy and he’s, well, a slob.

卡罗：我无法想象你和奥斯卡居然成为室友，你很整洁，而他却很邋遢。

Felix: It’s not always easy, but we’re making it work.

菲利克斯：不是很容易，但是我们相处的还可以。

Carole: Isn’t Oscar really messy all the time? Whenever I see him, his clothes are rumpled and his hair is unkempt.

卡罗：奥斯卡是不是真的总是很脏乱?无论什么时候见到他，他的衣服褶皱，他的头发蓬乱。

Felix: His room is really cluttered, but he keeps the common areas in passable condition. I do have to straighten up fairly often, and I sometimes have to pick up after him, but that’s because I’m pretty nitpicky.

菲利克斯：他的房间确实杂乱，但是公用地方他保持的还可以。我经常需要整理，有时需要收拾一下他弄的混乱，因为我有点鸡蛋里挑骨头。

Carole: That’s very tolerant of you.

卡罗：那你很能容忍。

Felix: Well, we have set up a system so that if things get too messy, I have some recourse.

菲利克斯：我们制定了一个规则，如果东西太杂乱，我可以对他提出些要求。

Carole: Really, what’s your system?

卡罗：真是，那你们的规则是什么?

Felix: Oscar and I agreed that every time he leaves a big mess, I can fine him.

菲利克斯：奥斯卡跟我达成一致：每次他留下一片狼藉时，我可以惩罚他。

Carole: That seems kind of drastic, but maybe it works for you guys.

卡罗：那似乎有点严厉，但也许对你们男生来说行得通。

Felix: Yeah, it keeps the place pretty clean.

菲利克斯：是的，这样能够让这儿很干净。

Carole: Still, knowing Oscar, you must have had to fine him a lot.

卡罗：根据对奥斯卡的了解，你一定惩罚过他很多次。

Felix: Let’s just say that my next vacation will be in Monte Carlo!

菲利克斯：我们这样说吧：接下来会去摩纳哥旅行!
