職場(chǎng)社交英語(yǔ) Lesson 23:你才不要分心

SCENE④ B 吉娜和戴夫在隔間里

【我才不要分心】

Dave: Do you think maybe it would be better to just talk to Vince? Explain the situation?

戴夫： 你覺(jué)得去跟文斯說(shuō)會(huì)不會(huì)好一點(diǎn)?解釋這整個(gè)情況?

Zina: No way. I want the satisfaction of 1) squishing this bug myself. Plus, what if it’s Vince?

吉娜： 門(mén)都沒(méi)有。我要自己享受壓扁這只蟲(chóng)子的滿(mǎn)足感。而且若文斯就是那小子怎么辦?

Dave: I don’t think so. Your admirer seems kind of sweet. Aren’t you even a little 2) curious about him?

戴夫： 不會(huì)吧。你那仰慕者似乎還蠻貼心的。難道你對(duì)他一點(diǎn)都不好奇?

Zina: He’s just a 3) distraction, like a mosquito buzzing in my ear. I want no distractions.

吉娜： 他只會(huì)讓人分心，就像耳邊蚊子嗡嗡叫。我才不要分心。

Dave: A little distraction might 4) do you some good, Zina.

戴夫： 稍微分點(diǎn)心或許對(duì)你有好處，吉娜。
