A I just got a call from Mrs. Fitzgerald. See what your Willie has just done. 我剛接到菲茨格爾德太太的電話??纯茨愕耐麆倓傋隽诵┦裁础?/p>
B My Willie? Why has he suddenly become my Willie? 我的威利?怎么又突然變成了我的威利?
A Because he takes after you, he's got into trouble again. 因?yàn)樗衲?,他又有麻煩了?/p>
B What did he do this time? I remember last time he was painting her fence to repay her for breaking it, and he accidentally painted her cat. 這次他干了什么?我記得上次他破壞了她的柵欄,在給她的柵欄上油漆時(shí),卻也附帶地給她的小貓涂了顏色。
A That was last time. This time it's worse. 那是上一次。這次更糟。
B Ok, tell me. 好吧,告訴我什么事。
A Well, he was playing baseball with some friends… 唔,他正在和幾個(gè)朋友打棒球……
B And the ball went through her window? That's not as bad as last time. 球飛進(jìn)了她的窗戶?那沒有上次糟糕。
A True, but that's not all. The ball went through the window and hit the vase she has in her front window…… 對,但還沒完。球飛進(jìn)窗戶,打在她前窗的花瓶上……
B Ok, that's probably expensive, but not that bad. 還好,那個(gè)花瓶可能很貴,但那沒那么糟糕。
A And then, ricocheted off her fish bowl. Mrs. Fitzgerald at the last minute dived and saved her fish. 然后球跳飛過她的魚缸。最后關(guān)頭菲茨格爾德太太跳下了水,救起了她的魚。
B At least the fish were saved. If that's the end of the damages, then everything isn't that bad. 至少魚得救了。如果最后的損失就是這樣的話,那么一切都不是太糟糕。
A Stop interrupting me. Finally, the ball flew through the air and knocked out Willie's school principal, who was having a cup of coffee with Mrs. Fitzgerald. 不要打斷我。最后,球飛到空中,把正和菲茨格爾德太太一起喝咖啡的威利學(xué)校的校長打暈了。
B Hmm, that is bad. 嗯,那糟了。
