Dad Is Ill

1--Dad was really bad-tempered 1 last night. And it's
not like him. He used to like meeting my friends.
2--Well, I'm afraid you've come at rather a bad time.
1--What do you mean?
2--Well, I wasn't going to tell you...He hasn't been
feeling very well lately.
1--Has he seen the doctor?
2--Yes, he had a check-up last month. The doctor
says he may have to go into hospital.
1--Oh no! What is it, exactly?
2--They're not sure. But they think it may be his
heart.
1--Oh, perhaps I ought to stay here, then. The others
can go without me.
2--No, there's no point in that. It probably isn't serious
at all. And please, Jane, don't say anything to
your Dad about this...

===================================
注释:

1)be bad-tempered:心情、情绪很不好。temper 2
“情绪”“脾气”解。bad-tempered是形容词+名词
+ed构成的表语形容词。类似的短语还有be warm-hearted,
be absent-minded,be short-sighted等。
2)used to用以表示过去经常的情况。注意be used
to(doing)的区别。
3)There's no point in that:point作“意义”;“目的”
解。这句话也可改为There is no point in doing so.

===================================
译文:

1--爸昨晚情绪很不好。以前可不是这样。他过去很
乐意见我的朋友。
2--嗨,恐怕你来的不是时候。
1--这话什么意思?
2--哦,我本来不想告诉你......。他近来感觉身体不太好。
1--他去看过医生吗?
2--看过,上个月他做过一次体检。医生说他也许得住院治疗。
1--真的呀!到底得了什么病?
2--他们没有确诊,但是,说可能是心脏有问题。
1--噢,那我也许该留在这儿。让他们自己走吧。
2--不,这没有必要。或许病情根本就不严重。简,你
可什么也别对你爸说......
