华尔街中级英语Lesson 9

31. Hello!
32. I want to speak to Roger Temple.
33. Ah, it’s you, Hugo, Well?
34. Look, Roger, I think I know where I can get your money and your passport. It’ll just take a bit of time, that’s all.
35. How much time?
36. Not long.
37. What do you mean – not long?
38. The thing is, I think I’ve found someone who’ll come up with the money.
39. I just need a bit more time to talk it over with him, that’s all.
40. How long is it exactly, Hugo?
41. Say, two weeks, perhaps less.
42. Two weeks? Do you think that I’m going to wait two week, with half the cops¹ in the country looking for me?
43. Do you think I’m going to sit around and let you and Moran get me before the cops do?
44. If that’s the best story you can think of, Hugo, you aren’t as clever as I thought.
45. I’m going to Trinidad to see Mr. P. Let’s see what he says about all this!
46. No, don’t do that, please! Anything but that! Look, I’ll try and get half a million by tomorrow.
47. I’ve got to stop him. I’ve got to get to him before he talks to Mr. P!
48. Hello, Dad! Where have you been? Hey, are you alright? Have a glass of Champagne²!
49. No, thanks. I’ve just had a bit of bad news-business problems. That’s all. I’ll have to go away for a few days.
50. Sorry to hear that. Well, we’re flying to Mexico tomorrow, so bye-bye for now; and we must keep in touch!
51. Bye-bye, Mr. Peters.
52. Bye-bye, my lovely new father-in-law³.
53. Sorry, I have to hurry, Bye-bye, everybody! Have a good honeymoon⁴, won’t you?
54. Where are you going for your honeymoon, David?
55. We’re going to Trinidad. Isn’t that lovely?
56. Oh, that’s so romantic⁵!
57. Thacker here.
58. Hello sir, Carter⁶ reporting.
59. Where have you been, Carter? Why haven’t you kept in touch?
60. You told me not to bother you, sir.
61. But that was 5 days ago, Carter! When I said “ Don’t bother me”, I didn’t mean “ Don’t bother me at all”.
62. I just meant “Don’t bother me!” Oh, why do policeman always do exactly what one says?
63. Anyway, what’s happened in the last 5 days?
64. Sorry, sir. Well, the situation is getting very interesting.
65. Temple’s going to Trinidad to find this “Mr. P”, and Peters is going to try and stop him.
66. Well – done, Carter. I knew you were the right man for the job.
67. Well, it’s obvious what to do next; you must go to Trinidad too, Carter. Immediately!
