【跟着美剧练发音】美剧美语047期

 Caroline: Hi,I'm here. I was running late so I decided¹ to hail a cab. And then I remembered I didn't have any money on me. And then I remembered I didn't have any money at all. So I walked the whole way here.

Max: The apartment's three blocks away.

Caroline: Yes, I know. Three blocks and 15 "hola chicas" away.

Max: Well, you can't be late again. I'm already worried about me being late every month.

Caroline: On my way here, a homeless man asked me for money. And I told him that I usually always give, but that my father was indicted² in a Ponzi scandal and I've lost my family fortune and my Manhattan townhouse,so I've been sleeping on a couch in Brooklyn. 

But, inspite of it all, I'm still optimistic that you and I will achieve success in our exciting new cupcake business venture.And look what he gave me?

Max: You took money from a homeless man?

Caroline: I prefer to think of Bob near the bridge as our first investor³.

 

Caroline: 我来了。本来以为要迟到了，想说打个的吧，然后才想起我没带钱，接着意识到我现在是两袖清风的穷光蛋。所以我不辞辛苦地走来上班。

Max: 我家到这里才隔三条街。

Caroline: 我知道。三条街，外加十五声“哟呵 妹子”那么远。

Max: 你不能再迟到了。我够烦我每个月迟到的。。。大姨妈了。

Caroline: 在我来的路上，一位无家可归的流浪汉向我讨钱。我跟他说，通常我都会慷慨解囊，但我的父亲因为非法敛财而被起诉了。我们家产没了，曼哈顿豪宅也没了，还得在布鲁克林区朋友家的沙发上过夜，尽管世事无常，但我还是对于我俩开小蛋糕店持乐观态度，并坚信未来将会取得成功。瞧，看他给了我啥。

Max: 你连流浪汉的钱都拐啊

Caroline: 应该说，是桥边的鲍勃入股投资才对
