华尔街高级英语Lesson 45

1. How are you getting on with my bike, Jean? I’ve got to go out soon.
2. It’s nearly finished. It’s only got a flat tire, you know. Annie I don’t see why you couldn’t fix it yourself.
3. It’s to do with the division of labor 1, Jean. Even under self-sufficiency. It just isn’t economical for everybody to do every kind of work. We all have to specialize,      that’s why some of us write articles, and address meetings and so on while others of us well fix bicycles, for instance.
4. I thought all that was what we were trying to change.
5. Look, it’s not worth arguing about. Have you read this article in the paper about ”the New French Government’s so-called “Green Economic Policy”?
6. No. I’ve been too busy fixing bicycles, actually.
7. Hello, everybody. I’ve got someone for you to meet. The other two are through here.
8. Lauren, this is Jean, and this is Annie. Lauren’s from New York. I just met her in the bookstore. Apparently 2, she needs a place to stay.
9. Just for a few days, that’s all.
10. I expect that’ll be all right.
11. What do you do Lauren?
12. You know, in New York, we’ve got a lot of immigrants from El Salvador and Nicaragua and places like that. I reach English to immigrant women.
13. What bring you to Washdon?
14. I guess just travelling around, you know.
15. I’ll get it.
16. Hello,2185434
17. Can I speak to Annie Peters, please?
18. Speaking.
19. Good, My name is Christie Schmidt. I don’t know if you got my message.
20. I thought you might ring again. Yes, I got a message. But I wasn’t very clear who your were and what you wanted.
21. Oh, I see. Well I’m a freelance journalist. And I’m very involved in the Green Movement in Germany. I was hoping to do an interview with you.
22. Who would the interview be for?
23. We have a very good environmentalist magazine---called Greune Shlacht, which means ”Green Battle”
24. Yes, I know the magazine. I don’t agree with it’s political views, though. I believe in ”non-violent” action.
25. Yes, so do I. I wasn’t definite about—Greune shlacht. I mean I might well give the article to someone else. The point is I’d really like to meet you, anyway.
26. Alright, then. When would you suggest?
27. Tomorrow morning. is the only time I’ve got free really.
28. It’s not very convenient. I’ve got to go shopping.
29. I’ll come with you Annie, if you’ve got nothing against it. Where shall we meet, then?
30. We can meet outside Cheatman’s.
31. Where’s that?
32. It’s a big department store in Slum 3 Bridge Road, near Easter Avenue Subway station.
33. I don’t know that part of Washdon well, but I’m sure I’ll find it.
34. See you there tomorrow then.
35. I look forward to it. Bye-bye, Annie.
36. I don’t trust that lady. I wonder what she’s really after.
