Shirley: What's happening here?

Benjamin: Our lock was broken, honey. Somebody broke into our house.

Shirley: Oh, that was me.

Benjamin: You? What? What the hell¹ are you talking about?

Shirley: I left my keys inside so I called the superintendent² to break the lock.

Policeman: Hey, what are you guys doing here?

Shirley: Sorry, sir. There's been a mistake.

Benjamin: But you can't leave with an opening door!

Shirley: I got to buy a new lock! Plus, the superprintendent won't let any stranger in…

Benjamin: Oh, you are always a trouble maker³.

Policeman: It seems that there is not my job here. This seems that it's been a false alarm.

Benjamin: Er…look, here, sir, I am terribly sorry.

Policeman: Well, don't call the police unless there is a real case. I hope this won't happen again.

Shirley: Oh, “ I hope this won't happen again” I hate hearing this.

Policeman: Is there anything wrong, Ma'am?

Shirley: The superintendent said the same thing to me today a thousand times!

雪莉：这儿出了什么事？

本杰明：我们的锁被砸了，亲爱的。有人闯进我们家了。

雪莉：哦，是我。

本杰明：你？什么？你在说什么啊？

雪莉：我把钥匙落在里面了，所以我叫了物业来把锁砸开。

警察：嘿，你们这些人在做什么啊？

雪莉：对不起，警官。恐怕这里面有点误会。

本杰明：但你不能让门开着就离开啊！

雪莉：我得去买把新的锁！再说，物业不会让陌生人进来的……

本杰明：哦，你总是惹麻烦。

警察：看起来这儿没我的事了。好像有人报错了警。

本杰明：嗯……您看，警官，真是非常抱歉。

警察：下次没有真情况可不要报警。我希望下次不要发生这种事。

雪莉：哦，“我希望下次不要发生这种事”我讨厌听到这个。

警察：怎么啦，太太？

雪莉：这话物业今天已经跟我说过一千遍了！

Shirley: I always forget to take my keys, and I get myself locked out. Then I would just call the superintendent to break the lock for me. He is not so willing⁴ to do that. It's because he thinks that I should be more careful. Maybe, he is right.
