Thierry: I’m pumped and ready to help paint the community center this weekend. What time are we supposed to get there in the morning?
蒂里:我已经准备好这周末帮忙粉刷社区中心。早晨我们几点会到那儿?
Bonnie: I’m not sure. Sophia was a little vague about that. She told people to show up when they can make it.
邦尼:我不确定,索菲亚也不确定时间,她说等他们准备好的时候就可以去了。
Thierry: That doesn’t sound like an auspicious start. How many people are supposed to be there?
蒂里:听起来不像是个好开端。大概有多少人会去?
Bonnie: I’m a little fuzzy on that, too. Sophia didn’t have a sign- up sheet. She just told people to show up if they could.
邦尼:这个我也不太清楚。索菲亚没有列出人员名单。她只说如果他们能去的就去吧。
Thierry: I hate to say it, but Sophia is the worst person to be organizing this. Her heart is in the right place, but her head is in the clouds. I don’t think I’ve ever met a more absentminded person.
蒂里:不愿意这么说,但是索菲亚在组织这件事上,做的很糟糕。她有心做好,但是做法很不实际。我还从没见过比她还心不在焉的人呢。
Bonnie: I know what you mean. She always seems to be daydreaming.
邦尼:我了解你的意思,她总是有点异想天开。
Thierry: I’m going to call her right now and pin her down. She needs to attend to the nitty- gritty if this is project is going to get done.
蒂里:现在我就跟她打电话,让她给个明确的答案。如果想要这个工程完工,她需要关注更多的细节。
Bonnie: What if she’s as vague as she usually is?
邦尼:如果她还是像过去那样说的模糊不清楚怎么办?
Thierry: I’ll try speaking to her on a different frequency: Earth to Sophia, Earth to Sophia...
蒂里:那我就用不同的调频跟她说话:地球呼唤索菲亚,地球呼叫索菲亚…
