Erin: So I told Joey that I had no intention of letting him use my car again. Can you believe the nerve 1 of that guy, after what he did?
Curran: That’s terrible, but I’m going to have to let you go. I have an appointment...
Erin: But I didn’t tell you what else he said. He said that running over my cat was just an accident. That’s bull 2. He said I should be thankful that he took Fifi to a veterinarian!
Curran: Yeah, I can see why you’re mad. I think I have a call on the other line...
Erin: Well, I’m glad you agree with me. I said to him that Fifi may be as good as new now, but that is no thanks to him! He’s never liked Fifi and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was gunning for her when he ran her over. He should count himself lucky he’s getting off scot-free for trying to kill my cat. I said...
Curran: Sorry to have to cut this short, but I really have to get going.
Erin: Oh, sure, but just let me tell you what I plan to do if he asks me again.
Curran: I really want to hear all about it, but...but... nature calls!
Erin: Oh, okay, call me back. I haven’t even told you what Sam told me about Ben yesterday. It’s a real shocker!
Curran: Uh...right. I can’t wait to hear all about it.
Script 3 by Dr. Lucy Tse
- Did he have the nerve to say that?他竟有脸说这话吗？
- He never got up enough nerve to meet me.他从没有足够的胆量来见我。
- It's only a hair off a bull's back to them.这对他们来说，不过九牛一毛。
- Many dogs closed around the bull.很多狗渐渐地把那只牛围了起来。
