时间：2019-02-08 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Caitland: How are you planning on getting to school and to your job without a car?
Bruno: I’ve got it covered. I have my skateboard.
Caitland: Your skateboard won’t be any use on those dirt roads.
Bruno: No big thing. I’ll just take my bike.
Caitland: Your bike was stolen, along with your rollerblades, remember?
Bruno: Oh, yeah. Maybe I’ll save up and buy a Segway.
Caitland: Those things are really expensive. What’ll you do in the meantime?
Bruno: Maybe I’ll take the bus. Worst case scenario 1, I give myself more time and I walk. Why are you so interested in how I’m going to commute 2? Fess up.
Caitland: I care about your well-being 3, that’s all.
Bruno: Oh, yeah? I don’t buy it. There’s got to be an ulterior motive 4.
Caitland: Well, I do have an old scooter that would be just what you need to get back and forth 5 from school and work. It uses very little gas and I’ll let you have it for next to nothing.
Bruno: I knew it. You’re trying to pawn 6 off that old scooter on me. Forget it!
Caitland: I’m just looking out for your best interest, that’s all.
Bruno: Isn’t that what all con 7 artists say?
