外教讲解地道美语 第151期:停止正在做的事

Ed: Hey, Mary, can you cut that out?

Mary: Cut what out I’m not doing anything.

Ed: The tapping of your pen on your desk. It’s driving me crazy.

Mary:Fine! By the way would you mind not slurping your  coffee every time you have a cup!

Ed: I don’t slurp my coffee.  And plus, how can you hear it when you’re shouting into your phone all the time?

Mary:You ’ve got to be kidding me! You’re complaining about me talking on the phone when you go out for a cigarette break ten times a day to shoot the breeze?

Ed:  Look, we have a lot of accumulated anger from working in these conditions, and it’s probably okay to let off steam once in a while . But, it’s probably not a good idea to keep it up I’m willing to forgive and forget and if you are.

Mary: Fine. Let's call a truce. I'll try to more considerate and to keep the noise down.

Ed:  Yeah, I’ll try to do the same. So, I was wondering you wanna go out to dinner Friday night?
