捷进英语 lesson 49

（单词翻译）

Hi,Hi,Yvonne.

You didn't have to work late.

This is a nice surprise.Yes.I'm a free man. But it looks like you two are still at it.

No,no,We're all finished.I'm just waiting for Douglas to pick me up.

Is your car in the shop again,Yvonne?

Yes,It's old and cranky and loud enough to wake the dead.

I just have to buy a new one.

We really do need two cars.Well,sure.Douglas must just about live in his; you have to in real estate¹.Right.

So I'm stuck either waiting for a ride from someone,or taking cabs².

Then I get to listen to cabbies telling very long,very boring stories.

It's very annoying.

I don't get annoyed³ at that.I love talkative cabbies.

Let's trade cars.You'll get lots of time in cabs.

So,how was your day?

It was a big one.I gave my notice.

Well,that certainly makes it real.Oh,yeah.

You can't run for state office if you're employed by the state.

Are you going to set up a private practice?Yep.

There he is.Have a good night.

So,how do you want to celebrate?

Rent a movie;get a pizza to go?

You sure know how to show a girl a good time.

Let's just say,I'm glad you're here.

What's that singing?

Though at the moment,he's certainly not the guy I moved in with.

Well,he's not the type who sings around the house.

Lisa,you look ravishing this morning.

Danny?

Are you one of those people that aliens⁴ abduct⁵ and take to their spaceships for experiments?

No,Why do you ask?Look at you.

Um,So.Danny.What's going on?

Ah,let's see.I.she,we...Ah,ha.What?

My friend Hannah is a scuba⁶ diver⁷.

At this time of year?The ocean must be freezing.That's what the wet suit is for.

To keep you warm.But Danny,it's not going to fit.

Now will someone please explain the beesuit?It's my job.

I don't belive it.I deliver balloons at ten,then Hannah and I are off to the seashore.

So things are going well,huh Danny?

Lisa,Hannah is the first woman.I can talk to completely⁸ unedited.

A frightening thought.Ah there we are.See you later.

I want my old roommate back.Hey,it's good that Danny's happy,right?

Yes.I just wish he'd stop singing.
