地道美语听力练习:宠物石

Magda:Oooh, he’s so cute. When did you get him?
玛格达：哦，它好可爱啊。你什么时候弄到的？

Tony:Yesterday. I’m training him to do tricks.
托尼：昨天。我在训练它表演杂技动作。

Magda:Really? Are you having any luck?
玛格达：真的吗？有成效吗？

Tony:No, not yet. So far, he just lies there, but maybe he’s hungry and doesn’t have any energy to play. I’m going to feed him a few treats and give him some water in his bowl.
托尼：没有，还没有呢。到目前为止，它只是喜欢躺在那里，它也许是饿了，所以没有力气玩一会。我去喂它点东西，再给它的碗里倒点水。

Magda:Uh, okay.
玛格达：嗯，好的。

Tony:And then later, I’m going to take him for a walk. Here are the new collar and leash I bought for him. I’ll be sure to bring his carrier in case he gets too tired to walk.
托尼：然后，我要带它去散会步。我还为它买了新的项圈和皮带。我怕它走路太累了，所以把推车给它带上。

Magda:Whatever you say. Are you sure you need to do all that?
玛格达：听你的，怎么都行。你确定你所说的这一切都需要做吗？

Tony:Oh, sure. It’s important to keep pets healthy and happy, don’t you think? I’m going to groom him later. I wouldn’t want him to get fleas or ticks. Maybe I should take him to see the vet for a checkup.
托尼：噢，当然需要。保持宠物的健康和幸福很重要，你难道不这样认为吗？我一会还会给它洗个澡。我不希望它身上生出跳蚤或蜱虫。也许我应该带它去兽医那儿看一下。

Magda:I really don’t think that’ll be necessary. Tony, you do know that that’s a pet rock, right?
玛格达：我认为这真地没有必要。托尼，你知道，它只是一个宠物石，对不对？

Tony:Yeah, what’s your point?
托尼：我知道，你有什么意见吗？
