华尔街高级英语Lesson 26

（单词翻译）

1. Washdon International Airport at last. Now, where to park? Hey, there’s a perfect place right outside the entrance where all those taxies are.
2. Lucky nobody else parked here .Now let’s go and find Mr. what’s his name…Gusper. I hope he’ll still there, I must be at least an hour late.
3. Band Air wished to apologize for the delay to flight BO 472 from Tokyo. The late arrival of this flight is due to operating difficulties, and some garbage like that.
4. That’s a bit of luck, anyway. I’m an hour late myself.
5. Passengers with connecting flights to other parts of Great British need not go through immigration control, but go straight to the domestic¹ departures lounge².   
Take it easy. You probably missed your flight, anyway.
6. I guess this must be him.
7. So, you’re the cab driver. Good Heavens!
8. What is it?
9. Oh, nothing. It’s a damn³ nuisance; my flight was delayed.
10. Yeah, I heard the announcement.
11. Look, why don’t you wait here while I go and see if there are any messages for me on the board.
12. Oh no, it’s alright. I’ll come with you.
13. Here, let me push your luggage cart.
14. You really needn’t bother. I can manage by myself.
15. No, I insist.
16. Did you have an enjoyable flight?
17. Yes, it was perfectly⁴ alright.
18. Hey, did you get those cigars at the duty-free shop.
19. Yes, I did.
20. Havana cigars are the best kind, aren’t they?
21. Stop here, please. This is the message board.
22. Are there any messages for you?
23. I haven’t looked yet. Let me see, there doesn’t seem to be anything?
24. Aren’t you looking in the wrong section Mr. Gusper? Your name begins with “G” not “P”. It’s strange, you know, you remind me of someone I used to know.  
I’m just trying to remember.
25. Look, would you mind waiting here while I go to the men’s room? It’s alright, I’ll take the luggage cart.
26. Hey, that’s funny. I want to go to the men’s room too. I might as well come with you, I guess.
27. What’s the matter with this door? It won’t open.
28. That’s because you’re pulling it. You’ll probably have more success if you push it like the notice says.
29. Oh, yes. Gee⁵. How dumb of me.
30. I’ll stay outside with the luggage cart, then.
31. Oh no, Mr. Gusper, please. I’ll look after. Don’t you worry.
32. The cab is parked over there.
33. Here it is. Hey, look, someone’s left me a letter. I wonder who it’s from.
34. I think you’ll find it’s a parking fine actually.
35. Washdon Police Department, Traffic Control Division. Your vehicle is illegally parked for which a fine of 100 is payable⁶. If this vehicle is not removed by 2:30 
p.m., it will towed⁷ away. Gosh darn it!
36. Look, I think I’ll go and get another cab.
37. Oh no no. I’ll take you there. Let me put your luggage in the trunk.
38. I’m sure the firm will pay the parking fine, don’t you think?
39. Well, in you get Mr. Gusper.
40. So you’re going to the Terminal Hotel, are you? Hey, I’ve just realized who you remind me of. You look exactly like someone I used to know called Hugo 
Peters. Only he had a beard and mustache. Are you his brother, by any chance?
41. Never heard of him.
42. Even your voice sounds the same as his.
43. Listen, I’m late for an appointment. Can’t you go any faster?
44. Oh yes, certainly.
45. It’s got quite good acceleration⁸ this car and the top speed is over 90 you know. You know, it’s kind of weird⁹ though. Are you sure you’ve never heard of Hugo
Peters?
46. Concentrate on the road will you, please? Look out, those traffic lights are red.
47. Sorry about that. The brakes are good, aren’t they?
48. You didn’t lock the trunk, did you?
49. No, why? Oh darn it! It's a cop!
50. Good morning officer. I mean-afternoon. It is afternoon, isn’t it? My watch stops. So I’m not really sure.
51. Do you realize that you were breaking the speed limit?
52. Oh er, was I?
53. Yes. You were doing 85miles an hour and the speed limit on this road is 50.
54. Gosh, I’m real sorry. You see, I’m a cab driver, and I was taking a passenger to the Terminal Hotel, and he kept telling me, like, to hurry up.
55. What passenger?
56. The gentleman in the back seat, of course. You see?
57. What are you talking about? There’s no one in the back seat.
58. Huh? Gee, he must’ve got out of the cab. And he didn’t even pay me. Huh! Maybe it was because I said he reminded me of Hugo Peters.
59. Who? Can you say that name again?
60. Hugo Peters. You don’t know him, do you? My passenger looked just like him. Only he was clean shaven, and his name was Theo Gusper. You see…
61. Hold on.
62. Henson speaking.
63. Bates here. Mr. Henson, does the name Hugo Peters mean anything to you?
64. It certainly does. Have you found him?
65. No sir, but I’ve just stopped a guy who claims to be a taxi driver. This guy claims he picked up a man at the airport called Theo Gusper who looked exactly 
like Hugo Peters.
66. Really! Where was he going?
67. To the Terminal Hotel.
68. Thank you, Bates. I’ll send Bedges there straight away.
