地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客506:借錢的煩惱

Britney: I was thinking of hitting up Jane for a little loan. You know her better than I do. What are the chances she’ll spot me a couple hundred dollars until next month?

我正在想去懇求Jane來(lái)借給我一點(diǎn)貸款。你比我更了解她。什么是機(jī)會(huì)，她借給幾百塊錢，期限到下個(gè)月，可能性會(huì)多大?

Salvador: I think that’s a pipe dream. I wouldn’t exactly call her a cheapskate, but she’s not known for her generosity.

我認(rèn)為那是白日夢(mèng)。我不會(huì)確切地稱她小氣鬼，但她并不以慷慨出名。

Britney: What about Francke? He’s rolling in it. He could easily part with a couple hundred bucks without giving it a second thought.

弗朗克如何?他很慷慨。不用再次考慮他就能拿出幾百元。

Salvador: You’ve got your work cut out for you if you think you can borrow money from Francke. He’s always been a penny- pincher and he always will be.

如果你認(rèn)為你可以從Francke借到錢，你已經(jīng)能搶錢了。他一直一分錢平徹，他一直是個(gè)守財(cái)奴，將來(lái)也會(huì)是那樣。

Britney: Okay, then help me think. Who do we know who isn’t stingy? Who do we know who is big-hearted and charitable?

好吧，那幫我想想。我們誰(shuí)知道誰(shuí)不吝嗇?我們誰(shuí)知道誰(shuí)出手大方且心地慈善?

Salvador: What the heck. Here’s $150 to tide you over until your next payday.

搞神秘鬼。這是150美元幫你解困，期限到下個(gè)發(fā)薪日。

Britney: Wow, thanks! You know, another $100 would really come in handy.

哇，謝謝!你知道，再借我100元，那才真正派上用場(chǎng)。

Salvador: I really think you should quit while you’re ahead.

我覺(jué)得你應(yīng)該見(jiàn)好就收。
