2014年ESL之日常生活 13 Being Vague and Unfocused（在线收听）

Being Vague and Unfocused 

Thierry: I’m pumped and ready to help paint the community center this weekend. What time are we supposed to get there in the morning? 

Bonnie: I’m not sure. Sophia was a little vague about that. She told people to show up when they can make it. 

Thierry: That doesn’t sound like an auspicious start. How many people are supposed to be there? 

Bonnie: I’m a little fuzzy on that, too. Sophia didn’t have a sign- up sheet. She just told people to show up if they could. 

Thierry: I hate to say it, but Sophia is the worst person to be organizing this. Her heart is in the right place, but her head is in the clouds. I don’t think I’ve ever met a more absentminded person. 

Bonnie: I know what you mean. She always seems to be daydreaming. 

Thierry: I’m going to call her right now and pin her down. She needs to attend to the nitty- gritty if this is project is going to get done. 

Bonnie: What if she’s as vague as she usually is? 

Thierry: I’ll try speaking to her on a different frequency: Earth to Sophia, Earth to Sophia...
