ESL Podcast 278 – Meeting the Future In-laws
时间：2019-02-07 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Atsushi: I don’t mind telling you that I’m really nervous about meeting your parents.
Scarlet 1: You look like you’re going to face the firing squad 2. It’s not going to be that bad.
Atsushi: I wish I could believe that. I’m going to try to make a good first impression, but I don’t think they’re going to like the fact that I’m a professional musician.
Scarlet: I’ve already told them about you, so there won’t be any surprises.
Atsushi: It doesn’t help that your last boyfriend was a straight-laced college student. Couldn’t you have dated a convict before me? I’d look pretty good to your parents in comparison.
Scarlet: How do you know I didn’t? You don’t know everything about me.
Atsushi: Very funny. Maybe we should postpone 3 this visit with your parents for a little while.
Scarlet: No!
Atsushi: I’m just putting it out there.
Scarlet: We’ve put off this visit for months and my parents are really starting to wonder if you really exist. Let’s not blow this visit out of proportion. They’re only my parents.
Atsushi: I know, but they may also be my in-laws soon.
Scarlet: I know, but it’s not like our whole relationship is riding on this visit. I’ll still like you no matter what. And plus, my parents know I have good taste in men.
Atsushi: At least I know that’s true!
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
- The scarlet leaves of the maples contrast well with the dark green of the pines.深红的枫叶和暗绿的松树形成了明显的对比。
- The glowing clouds are growing slowly pale,scarlet,bright red,and then light red.天空的霞光渐渐地淡下去了，深红的颜色变成了绯红，绯红又变为浅红。
- The squad leader ordered the men to mark time.班长命令战士们原地踏步。
- A squad is the smallest unit in an army.班是军队的最小构成单位。
