跟學商貿口語 第9課:Welcome Party
Getting To Know Your Coworkers:Welcome Party
STEVE: Would you like some more of this punch?
SUSAN: No, I don't think so.
STEVE: Why not?
SUSAN: I'm afraid of it. It's sweet, but I think it's pretty strong.
STEVE: No, not at all. I've had five glasses already.
SUSAN: Yes, I can tell.
STEVE: What? Do you think I'm drunk?
SUSAN: No, I'm just kidding. But you do look like you're having a good time.
STEVE: So, c'mon. Have another glass of punch. It's just fruit juice.
SUSAN: It's not just fruit juice. But alright. I'll have one more glass.
KEVIN: Steve, are you trying to push that punch on poor Susan here?
You shouldn't trust this guy, you know. He likes to see people get drunk.
STEVE: Oh, Kevin! How can you accuse me?
You are the one who made this punch. It's your party!
I didn't pour the three bottles of vodka in it, did I?
KEVIN: There aren't three bottles of vodka in there, Steve.
STEVE: No, you're right. There are two bottles of vodka.
SUSAN: But you said it wasn't strong, Steve.
And now you're saying there are two bottles of vodka in it.
STEVE: Yes, I guess you caught me there.
SUSAN: So how long have you been with the company?
STEVE: Two years. I was hired by Kevin here.
KEVIN: Yes, that was my mistake.
STEVE: Kevin likes to tease me now, but it's true that he hired me.
KEVIN: He was really well-qualified for the job.
You can see, Susan, that I didn't hire him for his good looks.
STEVE: You are very funny tonight, Kevin.
SUSAN: No, he seems good-looking enough to me.
It's just maybe that his manners aren't too good.
STEVE: I am in a room full of comedians here.
Are you both going to be making such good jokes at the office too?
KEVIN: No, we will have work to do at the office. We will let you make the jokes.
But excuse me for a moment, I have to check on something in the kitchen.
You behave here, alright, Steve?
STEVE: Yes, Ma'am. I'll be good. Would you like some more punch?
SUSAN: No, I don't think so.
史堤夫：你還要一點潘趣酒嗎？
蘇珊：不，我不這麼認爲。
史堤夫：爲什麼不呢？
蘇珊：我有點害怕。它很甜，但我認爲它很烈。
史堤夫：不，一點也不。我已經喝了五杯了。
蘇珊：是的，我看得出來。
史堤夫：什麼？你以爲我醉了嗎？
蘇珊：我是開玩笑的。但你看起來是很興奮的樣子。
史堤夫：唉，少來了。再來一杯潘趣酒吧，只是果汁。
蘇珊：它並不只是果汁，但好吧。我再來一杯。
凱文：史堤夫，你想把那杯潘趣酒推往可憐的蘇珊嗎？
你不應該相信這傢伙，你知道嗎。他喜歡看別人喝醉。
史堤夫：喔，凱文！你怎麼可以這樣指控我？
你調的潘趣酒，這是你辦的派對！
我並沒有倒三瓶伏特加酒在裏面，是吧？
凱文：那裏並沒有三瓶伏特加酒在裏面吧，史堤夫。
史堤夫：你是對的，那裏有兩瓶伏特加酒。
蘇珊：但你說它並不烈，史堤夫。
現在你又說有兩瓶伏特加酒在裏面。
史堤夫：對，我想你是抓到我了。
蘇珊：你在公司待多久了？
史堤夫：兩年。我是凱文應徵我進來的。
凱文：是，那是我犯的錯。
史堤夫：凱文現在很喜歡戲弄我，但他應徵我進來是真的。
凱文：他是真的具備我們所要的條件。
你可以看到，蘇珊，我並不是看他長的帥才聘請他的。
史堤夫：你今晚真有趣，凱文。
蘇珊：不，對我來說他算是帥的。
只是或許他的舉止並不是很好。
史堤夫：我在一間充滿喜劇演員的房間。
你們是不是也要在辦公室製造一些這樣的玩笑呢？
凱文：不，我們在辦公室要工作。我們讓你來製造玩笑。
但容許我離開一下，我要去廚房檢查一下東西。
你剋制一下，好嗎，史堤夫？
史堤夫：是的，女士。我會乖的。你還要點潘趣酒嗎？
蘇珊：不，我並不這麼認爲。
