华尔街中级英语Lesson 50

1. That meal really was delicious, Kristi.  You’re a very good cook
2. I don’t cook that often, but I’m quite good at it, yes.
3. I’m sure it’s not the only thing you’re good at. 
4. I’m sorry about the apartment being so uncomfortable and empty, by the way, but I’m glad to say I do have a bed at least…
5. It’s a strange place, I must say, with this dark brown ceiling¹ and light brown walls.
6. They’re not light brown, they’re just dirty!  I should think this apartment was last cleaned about 20 years ago.
7. Terrible, isn’t it?
8. Whoever lived here before was obviously² an absolute³ pig
9. Oh. well, that’s the last of the brandy⁴! Oops⁵! Never mind, there’s plenty of whisky⁶!
10. Trouble is, it’s pretty darned boring here!
11.  The drink’s fine, but my TV doesn’t work, and Hugo’s taken all his magazines and his stereo⁷ away with him.
32. Where’s that music coming from?  Gee⁸, it’s next door!  Someone’s moved into my old apartment!
33. I can go and see if my magazines are still three!
34. Hello!
35. Oh, no! Who’s that?
36. I’m not expecting anyone
37. Can I come in, please?
38. Aargh!  Who’s that?
39. Hi there!  I heard the music, and I thought---Hey, it’s Kristi! Gee, how are you, Kristi?
40. Oh my God, it’s you!
41. Oh, good, you remember me, then!
42. Help!  Please don’t hurt me!  Look!, you can have my watch;
43. it’s a very good one, it was given to me by my grandfather.
44. What’s your friend talking about?  Is he alright?
45. Marco, please!  This man isn’t dangerous, and he isn’t a policeman. There’s nothing to be afraid of .
46. If you’re sure, Kristi.
47. Now what are you doing here, John?  How did you find out that I lived here?
48. So you live here now, do you? Well, well, well!
49. This used to be my apartment, until I was thrown out for not paying the rent. Isn’t it a small world?
50. So they say.  But what have you come here for?
51. I live next door, you see.  Well, that ‘s where I’m staying, anyway.
52. Hey, do you remember that evening when we went to “ Burger ‘n’ Bass”? It was lots of fun, wasn’t it?
53. Would you like to go there again? Well, Maybe not.  Maybe, we could go some places else, like.
54. Whatever it is you’ve come to get, could you take it and go, please?
55. I’m sorry, Kristi.  It’s just some magazines.  I left behind, that‘s all
56. Oh, those awful magazines are yours, are they? I almost threw them out this morning.
57. They’re in the bedroom, in the closet⁹.  Take them away, please!
58. Ok, Ok!
59. Come on! Open up!  We know you’re there!
60. I think there’s someone knocking on your door.
61. I’m in here!  I’ll only be a minute.
62. Did you hear that?  He’s in there!  Come on!
63. There he is!  Let’s get him!
64. What?  Help! Who are you?  Ah! Put me down! Ah!
65. The one is from the boss!
66. Aargh? what boss?
67. Very funny!
68. Aargh!
69. What are you doing?  Who are you? Stop it!
70. Hey, what about this woman?
71. The boss didn’t say anything about a woman; he just said we should get rid of  Hugo Peters
72. Alright!
73. I’m not Hugo Peters!
74. What?
75. He says he isn’t Hugo Peters?
76. Ah, so! Why not?
