华尔街高级英语Lesson 11

28.That’s definitely¹ his handwriting! It’s extraordinary, though, that he left it so long before  contracting² us.
29.Maybe he wasn’t able to contact anyone before now.
30.You mean he may have been in prison? God, that’s the last thing. I need right now.
31.Look Annie, obviously³ I’m dying⁴ to see Dad again, but, like, you know how easily
 Juanita gets upset.
32.So look , would you mind just trying to keep me out of it, you know?
33.After all, it was you he wrote to, not me.  I know that sounds awful, but…
34.You’re wasting your time , David.  It  doesn’t depend on me , does it? Look at what he says in the letter.
35.“For various obvious reasons.  I can’t tell you in this letter how to get in touch with me.
36.but I’ll try and get a personal message to you or David in the next couple of weeks.”
37.Oh , no! Juanita’ll devoice me.
38.That wouldn’t be the end of the world , so long as she took the child and left you with
      the money.
39.It would probably  be the  other way around. I need a drink how about coming to a bar with
     me, Annie?
40.No thanks ,I’ve got to go to the travel agent.
41.What for?
42.Oh, I’m organizing a  study tour of Albanian peasant⁵ communes.
43.God, that sounds really depressing⁶! Well , we’ll be in touch, ok?
44.Sure, So long, David.
