ESL Podcast 513 – Snooping and Eavesdropping
时间：2019-02-05 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Enrique: I don’t know how you talked me into coming with you to Dan’s apartment to rifle through his papers. This snooping is stupid! If you have suspicions, you should just talk to him.
Stella: Confront him without any evidence? That would be the height of stupidity.
Enrique: Instead, we’re holed up in this closet until he leaves. I thought you said he wouldn’t be home until 6:00.
Stella: That’s what I thought. Just sit tight. I think he just came home to pick something up. He’ll be gone in a minute.
Enrique: I don’t like confined spaces. If we don’t make a break for it soon, I’m going to suffocate 1.
Stella: Stop your kvetching. Now that we’re here, maybe we can do better than looking through his papers. We can eavesdrop 2 on his conversations.
Enrique: Have you lost your mind? Do you know what he would do to us if he found us here?
Stella: No guts 3, no glory!
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
- If you shut all the windows,I will suffocate.如果你把窗户全部关起来，我就会闷死。
- The stale air made us suffocate.浑浊的空气使我们感到窒息。
- He ensconced himself in the closet in order to eavesdrop.他藏在壁橱里，以便偷听。
- It is not polite to eavesdrop on the conversation of other people.偷听他人说话是很不礼貌的。
