第6课“快乐”周年纪念

Jenny: I'm not speaking to you! I'm so upset right now! You're in the doghouse!

詹妮：我没跟你说话！我现在很难过！你麻烦大了你！

Phil: Ah, don't be like that, Jen. I said I was sorry.

菲尔：啊，别这样，珍。对不起。

Jenny: You've got that right – you're sorry. How could you forget our wedding anniversary . . . again? You promised last year that this wouldn't happen again!

詹妮：你说得对——你很抱歉。你怎么能再一次忘记我们的结婚纪念日。你去年答应过不会再发生这种事！

Phil: Well, it's not that I forgot exactly. Um, I just needed more time to surprise you with something special.

菲尔：我并不是完全忘了。我只是需要更多时间给你一些特别的惊喜。

Jenny: Don't aggravate¹ things by lying, Phillip! In case you were unaware², the date of an anniversary is the same year after year. It shouldn't be such a challenge for you to remember.

詹妮：菲利普，不要说谎使事情恶化！如果你不知道，周年纪念日的日期是年复一年的同一天。这对你来说不应该是一个挑战。

Phil: Please, honey, let me make it up to you. We could still grab some dinner? I don't want to fight on our anniversary.

Will you forgive your husband for being so absent-minded? I admit I screwed up royally. What do you say we call a truce³?

菲尔：求你了，亲爱的，让我补偿你吧。我们还能吃点晚饭吗？我不想在结婚纪念日打架。

你能原谅你丈夫如此心不在焉吗？我承认我搞砸了。我们叫休战怎么样？

Jenny: Well, give me a minute to think… you're lucky; I usually don't give second chances. You sure have a lot of work to do to dig your way out of this one.

This's definitely your first, last, and only second chance. Don't make me regret this!、

詹妮：好吧，给我一分钟想想……你很幸运；我通常不给第二次机会。你肯定有很多工作要做才能摆脱这一困境。

这绝对是你的第一次，最后一次，也是唯一的第二次机会。别让我后悔！
