华尔街基础英语Lesson 52

- We are coming in!
- Stand over there by that window!
- And put your hands on your head.
- My hands on my head?
- Just do what I say! Ok?
- But… if I put my hands on my head the tablecloth¹ will fall down.
- Oh, alright! Put one hand on your head and keep the other one on the tablecloth.
- Gee, I’m sorry, guys. I didn’t expect you, you see. I usually have sheet on my bed. It’s just that I forgot to the Laundromat this weekend, so that’s why I…
- Just shut up, will you? Ok, I’ll look in here and you look in the bedroom, Bedges.
- Well, there’s nothing in here.
- Have you found anything, Bedge?
- Just some magazines.
- What kind of magazine?
- I’m just taking a look.
- What do you think you’re doing? Put that magazine down!
- Sorry about that.
- I don’t understand this at all. I think I’ll have a word with Mr. Carter.
- Henson here, sir, over.
- Carter here. How’s it going? Over.
- Not very will, sir, we haven’t found anything, except some… man’s magazines. Over.
- Then you haven’t tried enough. Have you looked under the antique furniture? Have you looked inside the antique statues? Over.
- What? There aren’t any antiques in here. Over.
- Well, is there anybody in the apartment? Over.
- Yes, there is a strange guy here. Over.
- What does he look like? Over.
- He’s got black hair, and glasses, and he’s like, wearing a tablecloth.
- I think he’s a bit, kind of simple-if you know what I mean. Over.
- You idiots! You ‘re in the wrong bloody² apartment. Hugo Peters’s apartment is next door! Over.
- Well. This is apartment 3B. Over.
- Excuse me, guys, if you’re looking for Hugo Peters, he doesn’t-
- Just shut up, will you! I didn’t ask your opinions.
- I told you to go to apartment 3A, didn’t I?
- So what the hell are you waiting for? Get on with it – now! Over and out.
- Well. Come on, let’s go!
- Are you off now?
- Thank you very much for your help, sir!
- That’s enough, come on!
- Good night guys! Thanks for everything!
- You know, Dad, I’m glad you bought apartment 3c now. I don’t like it at first, but I do now.
- It really wasn’t easy to sell 3A after that terrible party. Anyway, I’ve sold it now, and I still got a good price.
- Anyway, I think 3C’s much nicer. It’s bigger than 3A, and I prefer the color.
- Well, here we are.
- Is that a police car outside the house!
- What are they doing, do you think?
- I don’t know, but it looks like that damned Harry³ Carter again. I’ve had enough of that man!
- Have you done anything wrong, Dad?
- You just stay by the car for a moment, dear.
- Good evening, Mr. Peters.
- What the hell are you doing here?
- Be careful while you talk to me, Mr. Peters. I’ve got two of my men in your apartment at the moment.
- You have no right to do that! No right at all.
- Oh, yes, I have! I’ve got this, look!
- May I read it, please?
- Very well, here you are.
- Why are you laughing? What is it? What’s so funny?
- You’ve gone to apartment 3A, haven’t you? I’m sorry to tell you, Mr. Carter, but I’ve moved, I live in 3C now.
- What?
- Yes, there is sweet lady in apartment 3A now. Do tell your men to be gentle with her. Won’t you? She is a bit… let’s say, fragile.
- Sorry about that! Goodnight, Mr. Carter!
- It’s alright. Annie, there’s no problems. Let’s go up to the apartment.
