华尔街中级英语Lesson 11

（单词翻译）

1. This is the life, right? Just sitting here on this beach, having a drink or two, watching the world go by.
2. This is the way to live.
3. David, I’ll go crazy if we stay here much longer! There’s nothing to do, I’m so bored!!
4. Gee! Uh… do you feel like a game of tennis?
5. No way!
6. How about a game of cards, maybe!
7. No, I don’t want to play stupid games, or read stupid book like this one!
8. Thank God we’ve only got two more days of this before we go back to Washdon!
9. We needn’t go back to Washdon, dear. We can to wherever we like! Anywhere in the world.
10. No, we can’t. What about your job?
11. My job? But I thought…
12. What did you think?
13. Oh, nothing! Never mind. Hey; here comes the waiter! Would you like another ice cream, honey?
14. Excuse me, sir.
15. Yeah, wait; I didn’t call you, but as you’re here, I’ll have another one of these excellent cocktails¹.
16. And my wife will have an ice cream.
17. I’m not a waiter, as it happens. I’ll just like to ask you one or two questions, if you don’t mind.
18. I’m looking for two friends of mine, have you seen them anywhere?
19. What do they look like?
20. I happen to have photographs of them, madam.
21. This is the first one. His name is Roger Temple.
22. I’ve seen this man’s face before!
23. Really?
24. Yeah, I read about him in the papers². He escaped from prison, didn’t he?
25. That’s it!
26. Let me see they put him in prison for drugs, didn’t they?
27. He was carrying a big suitcase full of drugs when they arrestted him, right?
28. That’s the one!
29. And he’s a friend of yours?
30. Well, not exactly a friend. He used to be a friend of a friend, you could say.
31. Well, I’ve never seen him anyway, except in the newspapers.
32. Neither have I.
33. I see.
34. And what about this one, then? Have you seen.
35. David, this is a photo of your father! Look!
36. What? My God, so it is! That’s strange!
37. Why are you looking for David’s father? What are you after anyway!
38. Oh, I just want to say hello to him. That’s all. Look, if you see him, don’t say anything about this, will you?
39. I’d like it to be a surprise, you see. Ok?
40. What did he want, David? There’s no way he’s a friend of your father’s.
41. Oh, I don’t know. Dad’s got a lot of rather strange business acquaintances³; you know how it is.
42. I’m sure that guy was a cop⁴.
43. Whatever makes you think that?
44. Look – there his is, asking some other people about your father.
