地道美語聽力播客886：婆婆的意見

馬克：誰打的電話?

Carla: It was your mother – again. She wanted to give me another piece of unsolicited advice about housekeeping. She’s called five times this week already.

卡拉：又是你媽!她想在家務(wù)方面再給我一條不切實(shí)際的建議。這個禮拜

Marc: She’s just trying to be helpful.

馬克：她只是想幫上點(diǎn)忙

Carla: I wish she’d do it without being so critical. I feel like she enjoys finding fault with everything I do.

卡拉：我希望她幫忙的時候不要這么挑剔。我覺得她很樂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。不要總覺得她干涉你。當(dāng)她在支持你。她跟你媽終究不一樣的。

Carla: What do you mean?

卡拉：你什么意思?

Marc: What do I mean?! She’s constantly giving me advice on how to be a better husband.

馬克：我什么意思?她一直給我建議告訴我應(yīng)該怎么做一個更好的丈夫。

Carla: Well, we just got married and she wants our marriage to be the best it can be.

卡拉：好吧，我們還是新婚，她就想讓我們的婚姻達(dá)到最好。

Marc: I know, but your mother has a really sharp tongue and she doesn’t hold back. She butts in whenever I’m trying to do something to tell me how to do it better.

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

Carla: Just like your mother, she’s only trying to help.

卡拉：跟你媽一樣，我媽只是想幫忙。

Marc: With her constant sarcastic comments?

馬克：用她持續(xù)不斷刻薄的話幫我?

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。她這樣說沒有別的意思。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?

馬克：誰生氣了?
