地道美語(yǔ)聽力播客673：開惡作劇（雙語(yǔ)）

Patricia: What are you doing?

帕特麗夏：你在做什么?

Luis: I’m setting up a practical joke for Bobby. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he walks outside and finds his bike in pieces. It’ll be the best prank ever!

路易斯：我在為鮑勃設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)惡作劇。我等不及要看看他走出去發(fā)現(xiàn)他的自行車散架時(shí)的臉色。這將會(huì)是最好的惡作劇!

Patricia: You’re not really going to take apart his bike, are you?

帕特麗夏：你不會(huì)真的要把他自行車給拆散架吧?

Luis: I’ll let you in on the joke. He’ll just be looking at spare parts. I’ve hidden his bike in the garage.

路易斯：只是開個(gè)玩笑而已。他只會(huì)看到一些散落的部件而已。我已經(jīng)把他的自行車藏到車庫(kù)了。

Patricia: He’s really going to freak out when he thinks that you’ve run over his bike with the car, though. I think this is more cruel than mischievous.

帕特麗夏：他認(rèn)為你用汽車把他自行車撞壞時(shí)，會(huì)抓狂的。我認(rèn)為這比惡作劇更殘酷。

Luis: Lighten up! When he realizes he’s the butt of the joke, he’ll think it’s hilarious, trust me.

路易斯：不要生氣!相信我：當(dāng)他意識(shí)到他不過(guò)被開了個(gè)玩笑，他也會(huì)捧腹大笑的。

Patricia: Couldn’t you just play some other kind of practical joke, maybe with a whoopee cushion?

帕特麗夏：你難道不能弄點(diǎn)別的惡作劇嗎?也許弄一個(gè)會(huì)發(fā)出怪聲音的坐墊不錯(cuò)。

Luis: A whoopee cushion? That’s child’s play. This practical joke is worthy of a master prankster!

路易斯：會(huì)發(fā)出聲音的坐墊?那是孩子玩的惡作劇，這是一個(gè)大師級(jí)的惡作劇!
