ESL Podcast 566 – Having a Wild Party
时间：2019-02-25 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Paula: Okay, let’s get this party started!
Mitch: I really don’t think having a party is such a good idea. We’re supposed to be house-sitting, and I’m sure the Abrams wouldn’t want their house used for a big blowout.
Paula: Ignorance 1 is bliss 2. They’ll never know. Stop being such a goody two-shoes and help me set up.
Mitch: What if something gets broken or damaged? Things usually get out of hand when people start pounding back a few.
Paula: What do you think I’m doing? I’m moving the breakables to the other room. Nothing will happen.
Mitch: How can you say that? At Kyle’s party last month, two guys got into it and ended up trashing his parents’ house!
Paula: That’s because they didn’t have Babbit.
Mitch: What’s a Babbit?
Paula: Babbit is the name of an old high school friend of mine and he’s tough as nails. He’ll be here to bust 3 heads and to keep everybody in line. Trust me. Nothing bad will happen with Babbit playing bouncer. Where are you going?
Mitch: I’m getting out while I can. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
Paula: You’re not staying for the party? You’re leaving?
Mitch: Wouldn’t you, if you were on the Titanic 4?
