嗨，最近怎么样？ 

 

B: Nothing. 

没事。 

 

A: What’s your problem? Why are you mad at me? 

你这是怎么了？你为什么跟我生气？ 

 

B: What did you have to go and do that for? 

你为什么要那样做呢？ 

 

A: Do what? 

做什么？ 

 

B: You know what I’m talking about. Why did you go tell Mrs. Lee how much money I’m going to make? Now she’ll go and tell the whole world! 

你知道我在说什么。你为什么要到李小姐那去说我要挣多少钱？全世界的人都会知道了！ 

 

A: Well, I’m sorry. I didn’t think it mattered. 

噢，对不起。我以为这不要紧的。 

 

B: It does matter. You know how she talks to everybody and their brother! Now the whole town will be asking me for money! 

怎么会不要紧！你是知道她的，她会告诉所有的人和他们的兄弟！现在全城的人都要向我借钱了！

我向你道歉。我当时没想到这个。我只顾高兴了。 

 

B: Oh well, it’s done now. I guess it doesn’t matter than much, anyway. They were bound to find out eventually. Everybody in this town’s always interested in gossip. 

那好吧，反正事情已经发生了。我想这毕竟也没什么大不了。大家最终也会知道的。这个镇上所有的人都喜欢扯闲话。

你想，你的第一个工作就挣这么多钱也的确…… 

 

B: You think I’ll be able to buy a BMW? 

你以为我能买一辆宝马车吗？ 

 

A: Well, I think you’d better wait and see how much is left after Uncle Sam gets his share! 

不过，你最好还是看看等纳完税之后还有多少剩余吧！ 

 

A: Actually everybody is really impressed. 

其实所有的人都很羡慕呢。 

 

B: I guess it’s not a big deal after all. 

我觉得这也没什么大不了的。

不管怎样，我感到实在是不好意思。下次说话一定注意。
