地道美語(yǔ)聽力播客601:暗示

Roberta: You know, my birthday is coming up.

羅伯特：你知道的，我的生日要來(lái)了。

John: Yeah, I know. What are you getting at?

約翰：嗯，我知道啊，你什么意思?

Roberta: Nothing. I was just thinking that it's kind of an important birthday, a major birthday.

羅伯特：沒事，我就是在想那是一個(gè)很重要的生日，一個(gè)主要的生日。

John: Yes, I know. Spit it out. What are you driving at?

約翰：是，我知道。有話直說，你到底想說什么?

Roberta: I was just thinking that some people might not know what to get me for such an important birthday, since some people don't like to put a lot of thought into presents.

羅伯特：我只是在想一些人可能不知道這個(gè)生日對(duì)我來(lái)說很重要，因?yàn)橛行┤瞬幌矚g花太多心思去挑選禮物。

John: What are you implying? Are you insinuating that I don't get you good presents for your birthdays?

約翰：你在暗示什么?你是在暗示我沒有給你準(zhǔn)備好的生日禮物嗎?

Roberta: No, of course not. I just don't want you to have to rack your brain to think of the perfect gift, that's all.

羅伯特：不，當(dāng)然不是啦，我只是不想要你花費(fèi)時(shí)間絞盡腦汁去想什么是最好的禮物而已。

John: Just tell me. What should I get you for your very important birthday?

約翰：那就直接告訴我，我應(yīng)該為你這么重要的生日準(zhǔn)備什么禮物呢?

Roberta: What? Just blurt it out? I can't do that. I can give you a hint, but since you love me so much, I'm sure you can read my mind.

羅伯特：什么?你就讓我這樣直接說出來(lái)?我不能說，我能給你一個(gè)提示，但是因?yàn)槟闳绱藧畚?，我確信你可以猜懂我的心思。

John: That's where you're wrong. If I had a nickel for every time a woman thought I should be able to read her mind, I'd be the richest man in the world! I don't have an inkling of what you have on your mind.

約翰：這就是你不對(duì)的地方了，如果我每次都能猜對(duì)女人在想什么，那么我就成了世界上最富有的男人，我不知道你心里在想什么。

Roberta: All right, I'll make it more than a hint. I'll give you three clues.

羅伯特：好吧，我再給你透漏一點(diǎn)，我會(huì)給你三個(gè)提示。

John: Great. That'll make things crystal clear.

約翰：太好了，這樣就一清二楚了。
