(单词翻译)

SALLY: Listen, Karen, I need your help. I don't know anyone here yet.
KAREN: I'm glad to help you. What's wrong?
SALLY: My mother-in-law just went into the hospital in L.A.Hank and I will be flying there tonight.
KAREN: I'm sorry to hear it. What's wrong with her?
SALLY: Doctors aren't sure yet.But the real problem is Suzy. She has a bad cold,and we don't want to take her with us. But we don't know who can stay with her.
KAREN: You need a babysitter1.
SALLY: Yes, I'd ask Jill, the girl I've had before, but I need someone overnight2.Maybe even for two nights.
KAREN: I could have Suzy stay at my place.
SALLY: I don't want to do that to you, Karen.
KAREN: Why not?
SALLY: Your own kids would get Suzy's cold.I think it would be better to have a good babysitter here. But I don't know who to ask.I need someone more mature3 than Jill. It might even be for two or three days.
KAREN: I know who we can ask. There is a girl I know, Sara Ralston.She is 17, and she will usually take this kind of job.I know her from my church, and I trust her completely4.
SALLY: I'd like to talk with her.This is short notice, I know. But Hank and I are leaving tonight.
KAREN: I'll get you her number. I hope she can do it. She is very responsible5.
SALLY: I'm glad you know someone. I knew you would be the best person to ask about this.I don't want to insult6 Jill or her mother. I think Jill maybe could do it.But I'd rather have someone a little older.
KAREN: I'll go home and get Sara's number. I'll call her first myself.
SALLY: Great. Then call me and let me know if she's free.
莎莉:听着,凯伦,我需要你的帮忙。在这里我还不认识人。
凯伦:我很乐意帮你,怎么了?
莎莉:我婆婆刚刚在洛杉矶住院了。
今晚汉克和我要飞过去那里。
凯伦:我感到很难过,她怎么了?
莎莉:医生还不确定。但是问题是苏丝,她得了重感冒,我们不想带她一起去。可是不知道谁可以陪她。
凯伦:你需要一个临时保姆。
莎莉:是的,我会找吉儿,以前曾经找过的女孩,但是我需要能过夜的人。也许两个晚上。
凯伦:苏丝可以待在我家。
莎莉:凯伦,我不想麻烦你。
凯伦:为什么?
莎莉:你自己的孩子会被苏丝传染感冒。找个临时保姆在这里比较好,可是我不知道找谁。我需要比吉儿成熟一点的,可能要两三天。
凯伦:我知道可以找谁,我认识一个女孩叫莎拉·瑞斯顿。她十七岁,经常做这种差事。我在教会认识她的,而且我完全信任她。
莎莉:我想跟她谈谈。我知道这很突然,但是汉克和我今晚就要离开了。
凯伦:我给你她的电话,希望她能帮忙,她很有责任感的。
莎莉:很高兴你认识人,我就知道这种事找你就对了。我不是要批评吉儿或是她妈妈。吉儿可能做得来,但是我比较想找年纪大一点的。
凯伦:我回家找莎拉的电话,我先打给她。
莎莉:好的。然后打电话给我看看她是不是有空。
