美语会话实录第88期(MP3+文本):Lazy Susan

2016-07-13来源:和谐英语

英文原文:

Emily: Oh. It looks like Jack is going to make his annual speech.
Joice: Couldn't he wait until we're finished eating?
Emily: Yeah. I'm still hungry, but I guess it's kind of rude to keep eating while he's talking, huh?
Joice: Can you even hear what he's saying?
Emily: No. He's so far away I can hardly see him! Let's keep eating!
Joice: Can you turn the lazy Susan for me? I want some more chicken.
Emily: All that's left is a leg. I gave the head to Tim!


参考译文:

艾蜜莉:噢。看来杰克要发表年度演说了。
乔伊丝:他就不能等我们吃完饭吗?
艾蜜莉:对啊。我肚子还很饿,可是他边说我们边吃,好象有点不礼貌吧?
乔伊丝:你听得到他在说什么吗?
艾蜜莉:听不到。离那么远,我都快看不到他了!我们就继续吃吧!
乔伊丝:你能帮我转一下旋转餐台吗?我还要吃鸡肉。
艾蜜莉:只剩一根鸡腿。我把鸡头夹给提姆了!
