他不生我的气？（打印版）

SCENE④ B 电话响起戴夫与吉娜继续说话

【他不生我的气？】

Dave: He's not mad at me?

戴夫：他不生我的气？

Zina: ¹⁾Not at all. He says your being a lying, cheating, ²⁾backstabbing spy really helped to³⁾motivate him.

吉娜：完全没有。他说你这个说谎、背叛、玩阴的间谍，大大地激励了他。

Dave: Is that what he says? [ ⁴⁾chuckling]

戴夫：他这样说？（咯咯笑）

Zina: After he found out you were spying for WebTracker, he worked like a man⁵⁾possessed.

吉娜：在发现你为“网路搜寻家”卧底之后，他就像着了魔似地疯狂工作。

Dave: So⁶⁾in a way, I'm responsible for InfoKing's great success?

戴夫：那么就某方面而言，“资讯王”的大胜还是我的功劳？

Zina: That's right. You should be proud.

吉娜：没错。你应该感到自豪的。

Dave: Oh, I feel so much better.

戴夫：喔，我好过多了。
