李阳疯狂英语突破口语之突破对话第53课

3、 I’m Just So Tired 我只是太累了

M: Well, Stella? Why do you look unhappy?
W: Oh, Bill, I have just had a quarrel with Mr. Philips.
M: Mr. Philips! What on earth was it about?
W: Well, I have made three bad mistakes so far this week. Today I forgot to give him an important message, so he got really angry with me.
M: But I don’t understand. You are usually very careful and never make mistakes.
W: I’m just so tired. I don’t know what I’m doing.
M: Why? Have you been going to bed late these days?
W: No. I’m usually in bed at about eleven. But I’ve been woken up at half past four every morning. And then I can not go back to sleep again.
M: Why?
W: It’s my new neighbor, the milkman next door. He has to get up at half past four and he always turns the radio on loudly.
M: Ask him to turn it down then.
W: It’s difficult. I don’t know him yet.
M: If you don’t want to see him, write him a letter.
W: Do you think it’s a good idea?
M: Yes, I do. I’ll help you with the letter.
W: OK. Let’s try.

W：斯特拉，你看上去怎么不高兴？
M：哦，比尔，我刚和菲力普先生吵了一架。
W：和菲力普先生！到底是因为什么？
M：这星期到目前为止我已经犯了三个严重的错误了。今天我忘了告诉他一个重要的留言，他就特别生气。
W：但我不明白，你一向都是很细心的，从来不出错。
M：我只是太累了。我都不知道自己在做什么。
W：为什么？你这些天很晚才睡吗？
M：不是。我通常是在11点睡觉。但是每天早上4：30就醒来，然后就再也睡不着了。
W：怎么回事？
M：我的住处新搬来了个邻居，是个送牛奶的。他每天早上4：30起床，然后就把收音机开得特别响。
W：那就让他关小一点呗。
M：很难。我还不认识他呢。
W：如果你不想见他的话，那就给他写封信。
M：你觉得这个办法行得通吗？
W：我想可以。我来帮你写信。
M：好。那我们试试吧。
