《查莉成长日记》精讲 170

Hi, welcome to the party. Little change of plans.

嗨，欢迎欢迎。计划有变。

You want to go around the house to that window over there and climb in through the basement¹.

你们要去房子那边的窗户那里，然后从窗户爬进地下室。

My mom and dad are home. So this is going to be a quiet party. We're not gonna make any noise. Now go have fun.

我爸妈在家呢。这是一场无声的派对。我们不能弄出任何声音。现在去好好玩吧。

Hi, little change of plans.

嗨 计划有变。

Amy? -Yes, Bob? -Where's the couch²?

艾米？-怎么了，鲍伯？-沙发哪去了？

Oh, that old thing you've been sleeping on? I sent it out to be cleaned.

就是你以前睡过的那老古董吗？我送出去清理了。

You know, usually when they clean a couch, they clean it when it's still in the home.

不觉着清理沙发只需要在房间里清理就够了吗。

Well, couch cleaners-to-go takes it to go. I guess they have some sort of special process.

这个嘛，清理人员想弄走，就弄走了。我猜可能会有特殊清理程序的。

Very well, I guess I'll be sleeping on the couch in the basement then.

那好吧，看来我只能睡在地下室的沙发了。

Yeah, I don't think so. They were having a two-for-one special.

是吗，恐怕也不成了。他们有买一送一活动。

You think you're so smart. There's an air mattress³ in the garage. -Popped it!

别自作聪明了。别忘了车库里有个气垫床。-扔了！
