T：Hi, Michael, how's it going?

喂,迈克,怎么样?

M：Well, things are all right.

还凑活吧?

T：I heard you got a new roommate. What's he like?

我听说你有了个新室友,他怎么样啊?

M：Yeah, Bob moved in last week. He is a nice guy and so far everything is cool except this girlfriend.

是啊,鲍勃上周搬了进来.他人挺好的,到现在一切都好,就有一样,他的女朋友.

T：Oh? What's wrong with his girlfriend?

嗯?他的女朋友怎么了?

M：She came over last weekend. She is a nice girl but there's something about her voice that really creeps me out. I tried to smile and be polite, but the whole time all I could think was "what's wrong with your voice?"

她上周末过来了,她是个不错的女孩,可是她说话的声音总是让我浑身起鸡皮疙瘩.我努力地微笑,想保持礼貌,可是整个过程我忍不住一直在想”你的声音怎么了?”

T：Well, I guess it might take some time to get used to.

我觉得可能过一段时间就能适应吧.

M：I doubt it. Last time was an oral train wreck. Listening to her talk is like chewing tin foil.

我不知道行不行.上次对我来说简直就是煎熬,听她讲话就像是嘴里嚼了蜡纸一样.

T：Oh come on, it's not that bad.

算了吧,不可能那么差.

M：No, it's so much worse. And tonight they invited me out to dinner. I really have no idea how I'm going to pull it off.

比那个还差呢.而且今晚他们邀请我们出去吃东西,我真的不知道怎么熬过去.

T：Rough. Maybe you can do the most of the talking.

这个有难度.或许你应该多说.

M：That's the plan.

我就是这样想的.

T：Good luck.

祝你好运!
