地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客574:寵物石

Magda:Oooh, he’s so cute. When did you get him?

瑪格達(dá)：喔，他太可愛(ài)了。什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始養(yǎng)的。

Tony: Yesterday. I’m training him to do tricks.

托尼：昨天啊，我現(xiàn)在正在訓(xùn)練他表演雜技。

Magda: Really? Are you having any luck?

瑪格達(dá)：真的啊?那你訓(xùn)練好了嗎?

Tony: No, not yet. So far, he just lies there, but maybe he’s hungry and doesn’t have any energy to play. I’m going to feed him a few treats and give him some water in his bowl.

托尼：沒(méi)有，還沒(méi)有呢。到目前為止，他只是躺在那，或許他餓了，所以沒(méi)有力氣表演了。我想喂他點(diǎn)食物，并在他的碗里放些水。

Magda: Uh, okay.

瑪格達(dá)：哦，好的。

Tony: And then later, I’m going to take him for a walk. Here are the new collar and leash I bought for him. I’ll be sure to bring his carrier in case he gets too tired to walk.

托尼：過(guò)一會(huì)，我打算帶他去散個(gè)步，我給他買(mǎi)了新的項(xiàng)圈和皮帶。我一定要給他帶上托板，以防他走的太累。

Magda: Whatever you say. Are you sure you need to do all that?

瑪格達(dá)：隨你喜歡，但是你確定這些全部都要做?

Tony: Oh, sure. It’s important to keep pets healthy and happy, don’t you think? I’m going to groom him later. I wouldn’t want him to get fleas or ticks. Maybe I should take him to see the vet for a checkup.

托尼：嗯，確定。保證寵物的健康快樂(lè)很重要的，你不這樣認(rèn)為嗎?我還打算一會(huì)給他洗個(gè)澡。我可不想他身上長(zhǎng)什么跳騷和虱子。或許我應(yīng)該帶他去找獸醫(yī)做個(gè)檢查。

Magda: I really don’t think that’ll be necessary. Tony, you do know that that’s a pet rock, right?

瑪格達(dá)：我真得覺(jué)得沒(méi)有這個(gè)必要。托尼，你很清楚他只是個(gè)寵物石，對(duì)不?

Tony: Yeah, what’s your point?

托尼：我清楚啊，你到底想說(shuō)什么?
