Lesson 11 Key Conversation Bailing² Early

Ken³: Hey, can I get one more round of drinks over here, please?

Derek: No, no-I'm slowing down, Ken. It's already midnight.

Ken: Come on, you aren't wussing out on me, are you?

Derek: Nope. Just have to crawl out of bed by 6:00 tomorrow for that meeting.

Ken: I'll let you off this time, but you owe me next time, OK?

Derek: You're on. Sorry to have to bail¹ so early, but don't leave on my account!

Ken: I won't! Well, it looks like Josh has had enough, too. I guess it's time to call it a night.

Derek: I'll see you guys at the office after lunch.

Ken: Yeah, go sleep it off. Don't want to get blamed for your lousy presentation tomorrow.

Derek: Ha ha. Thanks for the support!

 

第11课 尽早摆脱困境

肯恩：嘿，我能在这里再喝一杯吗？

德里克：不，不，我不能再喝了，肯。已经是午夜了。

肯：来吧，你不是在向我示弱吧？

德里克：没有。明天6点之前就得爬下床去开会了。

肯：这次我饶了你，但你欠我一次啊，好吗？

德里克：一言为定。抱歉这么早就要离开了，但别为了我离开！

肯：我不会的！看来乔希也喝够了。我想是时候结束了。

肯：是的，去睡一觉吧。我不想因为你明天糟糕的演讲而受到指责。

德里克：哈哈。谢谢你的鼓励！
