地道美语听力练习:忘记与原谅

Luc: You'll never guess who called and left a voicemail message today.
吕克:你永远都想不到今天谁打来电话，而且她还留了语音信息。

Angela: Who?
安吉拉：谁？

Luc: Barbara!
吕克:芭芭拉！

Angela: Oh, really? What did she want?
安吉拉：啊，真是吗？她有什么事儿吗？

Luc: She said she was calling to RSVP for our party this Saturday.
吕克:她说，她打电话是想让你回复星期六的聚会。

Angela: Did she?
安吉拉：她这么说了？

Luc: Stop playing innocent with me. Did you or did you not invite her to our party this Saturday?
吕克:不要再装傻了。你到底有没有邀请她星期六来参加咱们的聚会？

Angela: I may have. Okay, I did.
安吉拉：可能吧。好吧，我邀请她了。

Luc: Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you and Barbara have a knock-down, drag-out fight last month?
吕克:我没有把握，但是上个月你不是跟芭芭拉长时间激烈地争吵过吗？

Angela: We may have.
安吉拉：也许吧。

Luc: And didn't you say that you'd never speak to her again much less invite her over to our house?
吕克:你说过再也不和她说话了，难道不是吗？更别说请她来我们家了。

Angela: That's water under the bridge. You know what they say: “To err is human, to forgive divine.”
安吉拉：这些事都过去了。你知道人们常说：“失误人皆有之，而宽恕乃超人之举。”

Luc: I can't believe my ears. You ranted and raved for days that you'd hold against her for the rest of your life all of the terrible things she said about you.
吕克:我不敢相信自己的耳朵。你嘶声力竭了好几天，发誓说会用下半生来与她为敌，让她为自己说过的坏话付出代价。

Angela: I was being overdramatic. I don't think I ranted and raved, actually. We just had a little spat. It's best just to forgive and forget.
安吉拉：是我反应过度了。我真的没有声嘶力竭。我们只是发生了点小小的争论。现在最好是忘掉过去，相互原谅。

Luc: Unbelievable! Why can't you have a selective memory when we have fights?
吕克:实在是难以置信！为什么我们吵架时你没有选择性失忆呢？
