　　Looking Up Peter in Seattle

　　西雅图寻Peter

　　Last week I was in Seattle and I remembered that my friend Peter had recently moved there. I looked up his name in the telephone book, called, but got the answering machine. Luckily, I finally found him at work. He was looking at a picture on his desk, and I swear he looked like the famous actor Harrison Ford¹! I know Peter looked up to Harrison Ford, but I was a little surprised to see that he had become a look-alike! I said 'Look lively!' and he raised his eyes and looked me up and down.

　　上周，我在西雅图，突然想起朋友皮特最近也搬到了这里。我在电话簿里查找他的名字，并打过去，但只听到电话留言。幸运的是，最终我在他工作的地方找到了他。他当时正看着桌上的一幅画，我发誓，他长得很像注明的演员哈里森·福特!我知道皮特很崇拜哈里森福特，但当我发现他与哈里森福特长得也很相似时，感到有点惊讶。我喊了一声“打起精神来!”他抬起目光，上下打量着我。

　　'Hello! if it isn't my old friend Ken²!', Peter said. With that, he got up, looked me up and down and shook my hand.

　　“你好!这不是我的老朋友肯恩嘛!”皮特说道，他站起身来，上下打量着我，握了握我的手。

　　I must admit, Peter didn't look his age in the slightest. In fact, he looked as if he was ten years older! I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Well, I was in town and thought I'd look in on you to see how you're doing in Seattle.

　　我必须得承认，皮特看起来跟他的真实年龄根本不相符。事实上，他看起来比实际年龄还要老十岁!我的目光直视着他，说道：“哦，我在城里，想着来看看你在西雅图过得怎么样。最近怎么样?”

　　How have you been?" Peter responded that he was fine, but that he was also on the look out for a new cat. Looking over at the picture, I noticed that it was of a cat. "Yes, he sighed, I didn't really look after my first cat very well. It ran away." "I'm sorry to hear that", I said.

　　皮特回答说他很好，但他最近在找一只新的猫。看着这幅图片，我注意到它画的是一只猫。“是的”他叹息道，“我没有照顾好我养的第一只猫，它逃走了。”“听到这些我很遗憾。”我说道。

　　We talked for a while and decided³ to go out for a coffee. We were at a Starbucks when a beautiful woman walked into the Cafe. Peter quickly looked the other way. "Who's she?", I asked. "Nobody, just someone who looks down their nose at me." Just then somebody shouted "Look out!" Peter jumped up and pushed the woman hard. At first, she looked daggers⁴ at him. Then, realizing what had happened, she noticed that because Peter had been looking lively, she hadn't slipped on a ice coffee drink that was all over the floor. I'm glad I looked Peter up, it certainly was an interesting day...

　　我们聊了一会儿，决定去喝杯咖啡。我们去了星巴克，这时一个女人走进店里。皮特很快将脸转向一边。“她是谁?”我问道。“没什么，只是一个看不起我的人。”然后有人高声叫了起来“小心!”皮特跳起来，用力将那女人推开。起初，她对他怒目而视。后来才意识到发生了什么，她注意到，由于皮特身手敏捷，她没有将冰咖啡洒在地板上。我很高兴找到了皮特，今天真是有趣的一天。
