DIALOG 29

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

1--There's no reason on earth why we should stay

here.

2--Yes, there is! Somebody's got to keep an eye on

things.

3--That's what I think. Otherwise this whole project

could go wrong.

1--I doubt that. It looks to me as if everything is off

to a good start. I don't think there needs to be

any more supervision.

2--It's better to be safe than sorry.

3--I agree. Sometimes being cautious is the best way

to go.

1--All right. All right. I'm outvoted two to one.

So we'll stay.

===================================

注解:

1)has got to=must

2)keep an eye on=look after/watch carefully

3)otherwise：(副詞)要不然，否則。

4)go wrong：出差錯

5)doubt：懷疑

6)a good start=a good beginning

7)supervision：監(jiān)督

8)better to be safe than sorry=better to be

careful than to be full of regret

9)cautious：謹慎小心的，being caurious是

分詞短語作主語。

10)be outvoted：被多數(shù)票壓倒。vote是“投票表決”

的意思。

譯文

1--我們留在這兒完全沒道理。

2--有道理。這兒總得有人照看著。

3--我也這么想。不然的話，整個工作可能會出岔子。

1--我不信。依我看開頭事事都很順當。沒必要在繼續(xù)監(jiān)督。

2--寧可現(xiàn)在謹慎些也別將來后悔莫及。

3--我說也是。有時候謹慎小心是最穩(wěn)妥的辦法。

1--好吧，好吧。二比一我認輸。那我們就留在這兒。
