（单词翻译）

Becoming a Spy 

Vaughn: You’ve been reading that novel for hours. What is it? 

Sydney: It’s a spy novel and it’s really good. It’s about a man who is recruited by the C.I.A. to work in counterintelligence doing code breaking, but he becomes embroiled¹ in the world of espionage². 

Vaughn: That sounds exciting. 

Sydney: Yeah, he’s sent on a mission to infiltrate³ a foreign spy organization and to feed them misinformation. I’d love to be a spy. 

Vaughn: You wouldn’t really want to live the life of a spy, would you? You’d have to live a double life, not being able to tell your friends and family that you’re an operative. 

Sydney: I wouldn’t care if I could go on clandestine⁴ missions to thwart⁵ and sabotage⁶ the enemy. Working for the C.I.A. would be a dream come true. 

Vaughn: You’d have to keep a lot of secrets, not divulging⁷ classified information. 

Sydney: Yes, so? 

Vaughn: Loose lips sink ships. 

Sydney: What are you trying to say? 

Vaughn: Well, no offense⁸ but I think your cover would be blown after about five minutes!
