华尔街中级英语Lesson 69

18. Hello? Susan Carter 1 speaking.
19. One moment, Mrs. Carter, I’ve got your husband for you.
20. Hello, darling.
21. Hello, Harry 2. I can guess what you are going to say.
22. Can you?
23. You’re going to be late home again. You’ve got to stay at the office, right?
24. How did you guess? I’m sorry dear. You know how it is. Crime 3 doesn’t stop at half past five, does it?
25. I’m sorry to leave you on your own.
26. Oh, I’m not going to be on my own.
27. Really?
28. Don’t you remember? Kristi’s coming over this evening?
29. Kristi?
30. That old German friend of mine. I told you. She wrote to me, saying she was visiting Washdon, and would like to see me again.
31. Oh yes, I’d forgotten. Well, I must get back to work. Enjoy yourself, dear, and kiss the children good night for me.
32. There, there, it’s alright. Daddy’ll be back later.
33. Hey, I must get you to bed before Kristi get her! Good night, Harry. Good night, Deraldine.
34. Good night, Mummy.
35. That must be Kristi! Coming!
36. Hello, Kristi! Well, come in.
37. Thanks.
38. Let me take your coat.
39. Here you are.
40. Well, you’ve changer.
41. Have I?
42. Well, maybe it’s because I’ve never seen you wearing glasses before.
43. I’ve always worn 4 glasses.
44. Oh, sorry!
45. No, it doesn’t matter.
46. Neither of us knows what to say. I guess we need a drink.
47. It certainly looks like it.
48. Scotch 5?
49. Thanks Susan. With ice, please.
50. Take a seat; I’ll get your Scotch.
51. Here you are, Kristi.
52. Thands.
53. So, when was the last time we saw each other? It must have been about five years ago. I guess.
54. That’s right. About the time I met… well, I don’t suppose you want to talk about Roger.
55. Actually, I hardly ever think about him these days.
56. No, of course, you wouldn’t. Sorry, I didn’t mean to…
57. It’s alright.
58. Anyway, you’re married again. So that’s fine now: two kids, a successful husband, a perfect home. Everything’s alright.
59. I’m very happy with Harry and the kids, yes.
60. I’m glad for you, Susan. Don’t misunderstand me.
61. It’s just, well, when we were students we used to say, we’d never become a man’s property 6. Don’t you remember?
62. What do you mean? I’m not Harry’s property. I do what I like, more or less.
63. And I don’t get bored, either. I keep myself pretty busy. In fact, I go to evening class as well.
64. What? In cooking or something.
65. No, not in cooking? I’m studying social psychology 7, actually: the origin of the family.
66. I’m sorry, Susan. I don’t know what’s the matter with me today. I keep saying the wrong thing.
67. I thought you wanted us to become friends again.
68. Oh, I’ve had such a awful day, Susan? I had a terrible flight and I’m in this really unjpleasant hotel.
69. The Terminal 8. Do you know it?
70. No.
71. And I’ve got a really important meeting ? thing tomorrow morning, and all these documents to study it.
72. You are going to stay for dinner, aren’t you?
73. Thanks, Susan. I will, but I’d better get back to the hotel afterwards.
