华尔街中级英语Lesson 3

1 Is that letter ready yet, Lucy?
2 I’ve nearly finished it, Mr. Peters.
3 Well, post it as soon as it’s ready, please. I’m just going to the bookstore.
4 Hugo Peters’ office, can I help you? Who’s that speaking, please?
  It’s for you, Mr. Peters.
5 He won’t give his name; he says it’s very urgent¹.
6 Oh, very well! Hello, Hugo Peters here. What can I do for you?
7 So, I’ve found you at last!
8 I’ll take this call in my office, Lucy.
9 What do you want from me?
10 You’ve moved house, haven’t you, you bastard²! But you’ll never move far enough to get away from me!
11 Look, I’m sorry about what happened, Roger, I really am, but I don’t see what I can do.
12 This is what you can do Hugo. Get me a million dollars in bills, and a clean passport³, and you’ll never hear from me again.
13 What are you crazy? I can’t possibly find a million dollars!
14 I’m giving you 24 hours, Hugo. Call me at this number: 3174480 at exactly the same time tomorrow.
15 If you won’t help me, I’ll have to go to Trinidad and see what Mr. P has to say!
16 No, you can’t do that! Don’t go to Mr. P, please!
17 I’ll talk to you tomorrow, Hugo.
18 My God⁴! What am I going to do?
19 Hugo Peters’ office. Can I help you? Mr. Peters- It’s David!
20 Hello, David. What do you want?
21 I’ve got some good news for you.
22 If you are out of money again, this is the wrong moment.
23 No, Dad! Juanita and I are getting married⁵!
24 Oh, is that all?
25 Aren’t you pleased?
26 I’m sorry David, it’s been a bit of a busy day for me.
27 Ah, I see. Anyway Annie doesn’t know yet, so can you tell her? And another thing:
28 Juanita’s parents would love to meet you and Annie for lunch tomorrow, are you free?
29 I thought we could go to “Da Renzo”.
30 Yes, yes, alright.
31 Great! Well, you’ll tell Annie the news, OK? See you tomorrow, Dad.
32 How is David, Mr. Peters? I haven’t seen him for months.
33 Oh, he’s very well. He’s getting married.
34 Oh, how lovely! Who’s the lucky lady?
35 Her name’s Juanita. She’s the daughter of Mexican⁶ multimillionaire! See you later, Lucy.
