Diego: And I want to ask you a question today. I want to ask you, "Have you ever been a baby sitter?"
迭戈：今天我想问你个问题。我想问的是：你做过保姆吗？

Silvia: Yes, I've been a babysitter. And actually, I was seventeen, so almost eight years ago, and I was in high school, and after school, I would go home, and my cousin would leave her little daughter with me, a two-year old, and she just learned how to walk so imagine that, and it was quite exhausting.
西尔维娅：我做过保姆。当时我17岁，差不多是8年前，那时我还是高中生，放学以后我会直接回家，我表姐把她两岁的小女儿留给我照顾，那个孩子刚学会走路，想象一下，照顾她相当累。

Diego: She was a handful.
迭戈：她很难管。

Silvia: Yeah, she was.
西尔维娅：对，没错。

Diego: Did you get paid for this?
迭戈：那你表姐会付你钱吗？

Silvia: No, I just liked her so much. I liked taking care of her even though sometimes she drove me crazy, and I felt like spanking her, but in the end I just ended spending the afternoon with her.
西尔维娅：不会，我就是很喜欢那个小女孩。我喜欢照顾她，虽然有时她会把我逼疯，我喜欢拍她的屁股，不过最后我整个下午都会陪她一起玩。

Diego: Ah, OK, sounds very good.
迭戈：好，听起来很不错。

Silvia: It was OK, I guess.
西尔维娅：我觉得还不错。
