BACKGROUND 背景 

 

 

A cheap guy is avoiding his girlfriend on campus because he lied to her. 

一个小气鬼正在校园里躲避他的女友，因为他对她撒了谎。 

 

 

 

 

A: How’s it going? 

进行得怎么样？ 

 

 

B: Not too bad. How are things going with you? 

不错。你的呢？ 

 

 

A: Great, just great. Hey, could you do me a favor? Will you keep an eye on my books? I’ll be back in five minutes. 

很好，非常顺利。嘿，你可不可以帮我一个忙？你能不能帮我照看一下这些书？我五分钟后就回来。 

 

 

B: Where are you going? Are you up to something? You look as though you are. 

你到哪儿去？你是不是在做什么坏事啊？看起来像做坏事似的。 

 

 

A: Not really. But here comes my girlfriend. I really don’t want to her to see me. 

不是。我女朋友来了，我不想让她看见我。 

 

 

B: Why not? What’s the problem? Did you have a fight? 

为什么？发生什么事了？你跟她吵架了？ 

 

 

A: No, it’s nothing like that. She just had her heart set on seeing a movie tonight. I promised to take her. Then I discovered I didn’t have any money. I called her and said I was sick. 

没有，不是那么回事。她今晚一心想去看电影，我答应带她去的。但是我发现没钱了，就打电话告诉她我病了。 

 

 

B: Relax. She’s going out the other door. You’re safe for the time being. 

别紧张，她从另外一扇门出去了。你暂时没事了。 

 

 

A: That was a close call. I’m lucky she didn’t see me. She would have really hit the roof. 

真危险啊。好在她没看见我。不然，她非火冒三丈不可。
