來聽今天的講解:

聽著,凱倫，我需要你的幫忙。在這里我還不認識人。

B: I'm glad to help you. What's wrong?

我很樂意幫你，怎么了？

A: My mother-in-law just went into the hospital in L.A.Hank and I will be flying there tonight.

我婆婆剛剛在洛杉磯住院了。今晚漢克和我要飛過去那里。

B: I'm sorry to hear it. What's wrong with her?

我感到很難過，她怎么了？

A: 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.

醫(yī)生還不確定。但是問題是蘇絲，她得了重感冒，我們不想帶她一起去。可是不知道誰可以陪她。

B: You need a babysitter.

你需要一個臨時保姆。

A: Yes, I'd ask Jill, the girl I've had before, but I need someone overnight.Maybe even for two nights.

是的，我會找吉兒，以前曾經找過的女孩，但是我需要能過夜的人。也許兩個晚上。

B: I could have Suzy stay at my place.

蘇絲可以待在我家。

A: I don't want to do that to you, Karen.

凱倫，我不想麻煩你。

B: Why not?

為什么？

A: 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.

你自己的孩子會被蘇絲傳染感冒。找個臨時保姆在這里比較好，可是我不知道找誰。我需要比吉兒成熟一點的，可能要兩三天。

B: 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.

我知道可以找誰，我認識一個女孩叫莎拉·瑞斯頓。她十七歲，經常做這種差事。我在教會認識她的，而且我完全信任她。

A: I'd like to talk with her.This is short notice, I know. But Hank and I are leaving tonight.

我想跟她談談。我知道這很突然，但是漢克和我今晚就要離開了。

B: I'll get you her number. I hope she can do it. She is very responsible.

我給你她的電話，希望她能幫忙，她很有責任感的。

A: 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.

很高興你認識人，我就知道這種事找你就對了。我不是要批評吉兒或是她媽媽。吉兒可能做得來，但是我比較想找年紀大一點的。

B: I'll go home and get Sara's number. I'll call her first myself.

我回家找莎拉的電話，我先打給她。

A: Great. Then call me and let me know if she's free.

好的。然后打電話給我看看她是不是有空。
