大忙人学社交英语口语4-5 长对话：谈论同事被拘留（中英+mp3和文本下载）

A: Did you hear what happened to Mike in Accounts?

A:你听说财务部的Mike出事了吗?

B: No. What?

B:不知道。他怎么了?

A: He got arrested on Friday night and spent the night in jail.

A:他星期五晚上被捕，而且被关了一个晚上。

B: No. Really, what happened?

B:不会吧。到底是怎么回事?

A: Well, it was all a big mistake, actually. He got home on Friday night really late, and apparently he'd been out drinking with some clients, so he was really drunk.

A:哦，其实是个大误会。他星期五晚上很晚才回家，他显然是和几个客户出去喝了几杯，而且喝得烂醉。

B: Was he out with the guys from the bank?

B:他是跟银行的那些人出去吗?

A: Yes, I think so.

A:我想是吧。

B: Oh, yeah, they always get really drunk.

B:噢，是啊，他们老是喝得烂醉。

A: Well, anyway, he'd somehow lost his wallet and his house keys, so he couldn't get in. He lives alone, you know.

A:噢，反正他就是弄丢了钱包和家里的钥匙，所以没办法进门。你也知道，他是一个人住。

B: Oh, really. I thought he lived with his wife.

B:真的嗅。我以为他跟老婆住在一起。

A: No, she left him last year.

A:并没有，她去年离开他了。

B: Oh, really? Do you know why?

B:嗅，真的吗?你知道是为什么吗?

A: Hang on, let me finish telling you what happened. Where was I?

A:等等，先让我把事情的经过说完。我说到哪儿了?

B: He lost his wallet and keys.

B:他弄丢了钱包和钥匙。

A: Oh yes, well, he tried to climb in through the bathroom window, but apparently he slipped and broke the glass with his foot. The neighbors heard him and thought a robbery was in progress, so they called the police.

A:噢，对。他想从浴室的窗户爬进去，可是显然摔了一跤，脚踢碎了玻璃。邻居听到了声音，以为有人要闯入，于是叫警察来。

B: Oh, no.

B:噢，不会吧。

A: Yes. So when the cops arrived, they didn't believe his story: you know, he lost his wallet so he had no ID; the neighbors were new and didn't know him, so he couldn't get the police to believe his story. So they arrested him and put him in a cell until the morning.

A:是啊，结果警察来了以后，并不相信他的说法。你也知道，他弄丢了钱包，所以身上没有身份证。邻居是新来的，也不认识他，所以他没办法让警察相信他的说法。结果警察就逮捕了他，并把他关在构留所里，直到第二天早上。

B: So then what happened?

B:结果后来又怎么了?

A: Well, when he sobered up, he called someone from work to come and bail him out.

A:哦，等他酒醒以后，他打电话请公司的人来保他出去。

B: Well, that's a bit of a tricky situation.

B:俄，这种情况不太好处理。

A: Yes, I know.

A:是啊，我知道。
