 點(diǎn)擊這里收聽(tīng)
SALLY: Listen, Karen, I need your help. I don't know anyone here yet.
KAREN: I'm glad to help you. What's wrong?
SALLY: My mother-in-law just went into the hospital in L.A.
Hank and I will be flying there tonight.
KAREN: I'm sorry to hear it. What's wrong with her?
SALLY: Doctors aren't sure yet.
But the real problem is Suzy. She has a bad cold,
and we don't want to take her with us. But we don't know who can stay with her.
KAREN: You need a babysitter.
SALLY: Yes, I'd ask Jill, the girl I've had before, but I need someone overnight.
Maybe even for two nights.
KAREN: I could have Suzy stay at my place.
SALLY: I don't want to do that to you, Karen.
KAREN: Why not?
SALLY: Your own kids would get Suzy's cold.
I think it would be better to have a good babysitter here. But I don't know who to ask.
I need someone more mature than Jill. It might even be for two or three days.
KAREN: I know who we can ask. There is a girl I know, Sara Ralston.
She is 17, and she will usually take this kind of job.
I know her from my church, and I trust her completely.
SALLY: I'd like to talk with her.
This is short notice, I know. But Hank and I are leaving tonight.
KAREN: I'll get you her number. I hope she can do it. She is very responsible.
SALLY: I'm glad you know someone. I knew you would be the best person to ask about this.
I don't want to insult Jill or her mother. I think Jill maybe could do it.
But I'd rather have someone a little older.
KAREN: I'll go home and get Sara's number. I'll call her first myself.
SALLY: Great. Then call me and let me know if she's free.
莎莉：聽(tīng)著,凱倫，我需要你的幫忙。在這里我還不認(rèn)識(shí)人。
凱倫：我很樂(lè)意幫你，怎么了？
莎莉：我婆婆剛剛在洛杉磯住院了。
今晚漢克和我要飛過(guò)去那里。
凱倫：我感到很難過(guò)，她怎么了？
莎莉：醫(yī)生還不確定。
但是問(wèn)題是蘇絲，她得了重感冒，
我們不想帶她一起去?？墒遣恢勒l(shuí)可以陪她。
凱倫：你需要一個(gè)臨時(shí)保姆。
莎莉：是的，我會(huì)找吉兒，以前曾經(jīng)找過(guò)的女孩，但是我需要能過(guò)夜的人。
也許兩個(gè)晚上。
凱倫：蘇絲可以待在我家。
莎莉：凱倫，我不想麻煩你。
凱倫：為什么？
莎莉：你自己的孩子會(huì)被蘇絲傳染感冒。
找個(gè)臨時(shí)保姆在這里比較好，可是我不知道找誰(shuí)。
我需要比吉兒成熟一點(diǎn)的，可能要兩三天。
凱倫：我知道可以找誰(shuí)，我認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)女孩叫莎拉·瑞斯頓。
她十七歲，經(jīng)常做這種差事。
我在教會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)她的，而且我完全信任她。
莎莉：我想跟她談?wù)劇?BR>我知道這很突然，但是漢克和我今晚就要離開(kāi)了。
凱倫：我給你她的電話(huà)，希望她能幫忙，她很有責(zé)任感的。
莎莉：很高興你認(rèn)識(shí)人，我就知道這種事找你就對(duì)了。
我不是要批評(píng)吉兒或是她媽媽。吉兒可能做得來(lái)，
但是我比較想找年紀(jì)大一點(diǎn)的。
凱倫：我回家找莎拉的電話(huà)，我先打給她。
莎莉：好的。然后打電話(huà)給我看看她是不是有空。 |
