FINDING A BABY-SITTER
laurance--Can you get a baby-sitter for tonight?
soony--I don\'t know.Why?
laurance--Well,I thought we could go out for dinner
and then go to a movie afterward.
soony--I can call Debbie and see if she\'s available.
She usually doesn\'t like to sit during the week,
but she might make an exception.
laurance--Well,do that,and then call me at the office if
you have any luck.
soony--Okay,but don\'t get your hopes too high.It\'s hard
to find a good baby-sitter these days.
注解:
1)baby-sitter:指临时为人照看孩子的人。美国很多女中学生、
大学生课余替人看孩子,挣些零花钱。
2)sit during the week = baby-sit on weekdays
3)make an exception:做例外处理。make no exception:概部例外。
4)if you have any luck = if you are successful;也可直译为
“如果你有运气能办成的话”
