A　Hi, Michael, how's it going?

喂,迈克,怎么样?

B　Well, things are all right.

还凑活吧?

A　I heard you got a new roommate. What's he like?

我听说你有了个新室友,他怎么样啊?

B　Yeah, Bob moved in last week. He is a nice guy and so far everything is cool except this girlfriend.

是啊,鲍勃上周搬了进来.他人挺好的,到现在一切都好,就有一样,他的女朋友.

A　Oh? What's wrong with his girlfriend?

嗯?他的女朋友怎么了?

B　She came over last weekend. She is a nice girl but there's something about her voice that really creeps me out. I tried to smile and be polite, but the whole time all I could think was "what's wrong with your voice?"

她上周末过来了,她是个不错的女孩,可是她说话的声音总是让我浑身起鸡皮疙瘩.我努力地微笑,想保持礼貌,可是整个过程我忍不住一直在想”你的声音怎么了?”

A　Well, I guess it might take some time to get used to.

我觉得可能过一段时间就能适应吧.

B　I doubt it. Last time was an oral train wreck. Listening to her talk is like chewing tin foil.

我不知道行不行.上次对我来说简直就是煎熬,听她讲话就像是嘴里嚼了蜡纸一样.

A　Oh come on, it's not that bad.

算了吧,不可能那么差.

B　No, it's so much worse. And tonight they invited me out to dinner. I really have no idea how I'm going to pull it off.

比那个还差呢.而且今晚他们邀请我们出去吃东西,我真的不知道怎么熬过去.

A　Rough. Maybe you can do the most of the talking.

这个有难度.或许你应该多说.

B　That's the plan.

我就是这样想的.

A　Good luck.

祝你好运!
