地道美語(yǔ)聽力播客886：婆婆的意見

卡拉：我希望她幫忙的時(shí)候不要這么挑剔。我覺(jué)得她很樂(lè)意在我做的事情上找茬。

Marc: She’s a little overeager to help, that’s all. Don’t think of it as her interfering. Think of it as her giving you support. She isn’t like your mother.

馬克：這就是她只是太想幫忙了。不要總覺(jué)得她干涉你。當(dāng)她在支持你。她跟你媽終究不一樣的。

馬克：我知道，但是你媽媽對(duì)我說(shuō)話從不客氣而且毫不收斂。她對(duì)我做的每一件事都插手，告訴我該怎么做。

卡拉：跟你媽一樣，我媽只是想幫忙。

Marc: With her constant sarcastic comments?

Carla: That’s just her sense of humor. She doesn’t mean anything by it. She likes you.

卡拉：這只是她的幽默所在。她這樣說(shuō)沒(méi)有別的意思。她喜歡你。

Marc: She has a strange way of showing it.

馬克：那她表達(dá)的方式太奇怪了。

Carla: All of this talk about mothers-in-law is getting our blood up. At this rate, we won’t be able to follow the best piece of marriage advice we’ve received so far.

卡拉：談?wù)撈牌藕驼赡改锏氖虑槭刮覀兏械缴鷼饬?。照這樣下去，我們就不能實(shí)行到目前為止收到的好的建議了。

Carla: Don’t go to bed angry.

卡拉：別生氣。

Marc: Who’s angry?
