地道美語聽力播客751: 買賣傳家寶（雙語）

Anne: Where are you going with that? 
安妮：你要把那個(gè)弄到哪兒？
Ivan: I’m taking this clock to an antique dealer. Rather than having it gather dust on the mantelpiece, I thought I’d get it appraised and maybe sell it. 
伊萬：我要拿著這個(gè)鐘表到古玩商那兒，而不是讓它放在壁爐臺(tái)上落滿灰塵。我會(huì)讓人估價(jià)，也許會(huì)賣掉。
Anne: You can’t sell that! It belonged to our grandfather. It’s a family heirloom. 
安妮：你不能賣掉那個(gè)鐘表！這是我們爺爺?shù)臇|西，是個(gè)傳家寶。
Ivan: It’s not a family heirloom. It’s just a clock that Grandpa had in his house. He didn’t mean for it to be passed down from one generation to another. I don’t even know if it’s valuable or collectable. These clocks could be a dime a dozen. 
伊萬：它不是傳家寶，只不過是爺爺家里的一個(gè)鐘表而已。他沒有說要讓這個(gè)表一代一代的傳下去。我都不知道它是否有價(jià)值或者能夠收藏。這樣的表多的是，不值錢。
Anne: But it’s valuable to me. It has sentimental value. As a little girl, I remember visiting Grandpa and seeing that clock on his shelf. If I had inherited it, I know I wouldn’t be looking to sell it to make a quick buck.
安妮：但是對(duì)我來說很有價(jià)值，有情感價(jià)值。我還是小女孩兒時(shí)，我記得探望爺爺，看到這個(gè)表在他架子上放著。如果我能繼承這個(gè)表，我不會(huì)為了賺一筆錢就賣掉它。
Ivan: I’m not looking to make a quick buck, but what if Grandpa left it to me because he knew I would be able to put the money that it would fetch to good use? 
伊萬：我不是想用來賺一筆錢，但是倘若爺爺知道我能把錢用在正確的地方，所以把它留給我呢？
Anne: Well, are you? Are you going to put the proceeds to good use? 
安妮：好吧，你是那樣的嗎？你打算把錢善加利用？
Ivan: Sure, of course I am. 
伊萬：當(dāng)然。
Anne: Are you going to tell me what you’re spending it on? 
安妮：你能告訴我你打算把錢花在哪兒嗎？
Ivan: Not on your life! 
伊萬：絕對(duì)不行！
