（单词翻译）

 　　Carole: It is beyond me how you and Oscar can be roommates. You’re very tidy and he’s, well, a slob.

　　Felix: It’s not always easy, but we’re making it work.
　　Carole: Isn’t Oscar really messy all the time? Whenever I see him, his clothes are rumpled1 and his hair is unkempt.
　　Felix: His room is really cluttered2, but he keeps the common areas in passable condition. I do have to straighten up fairly often, and I sometimes have to pick up after him, but that’s because I’m pretty nitpicky.
　　Carole: That’s very tolerant of you.
　　Felix: Well, we have set up a system so that if things get too messy, I have some recourse.
　　Carole: Really, what’s your system?
　　Felix: Oscar and I agreed that every time he leaves a big mess, I can fine him.
　　Carole: That seems kind of drastic, but maybe it works for you guys.
　　Felix: Yeah, it keeps the place pretty clean.
　　Carole: Still, knowing Oscar, you must have had to fine him a lot.
　　Felix: Let’s just say that my next vacation will be in Monte Carlo!
　　Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
