地道美語聽力播客702: 表述可能性（雙語）

Raul: What are the chances that Rob will be here on time?

勞爾：羅波準時到達的幾率是多少?

Tiffany: I’d say it’s fifty- fifty. You never know. He might surprise us and be early.

提芬尼：50%的幾率吧，你不會知道，也許他會早到，給我們個驚喜。

Raul: Fat chance of that happening. I’ve known him for three years and if I had to stake my life on whether he’ll arrive early or not, I’d be in big trouble.

勞爾：他早到的可能性很小，我已經(jīng)認識他三年了，如果我把性命堵在他是否會早到上，我會陷入大麻煩中。

Tiffany: Don’t exaggerate. Rob isn’t completely irresponsible. I’d say there’s a pretty good probability that he’ll be here when he said he would, especially after he promised.

提芬尼：別太夸張，羅波也不是完全沒有責任感。我想說很有可能他說他會到，特別是他許諾之后，他就會到達。

Raul: His intentions are good, but he loses track of time and doesn’t know what day it is half the time.

勞爾：他的出發(fā)點是好的，但是缺乏時間觀念，大部分時間不知道今天周幾。

Tiffany: He told me that he’s trying to change.

提芬尼：他告訴我他正在改變。

Raul: Well, as I said, his intentions are good. He just needs to work on his follow-through.

勞爾：好吧，正如我所說，他的出發(fā)點是好的，他只需要按照做就行。

Tiffany: Come on, he could be on his way right now.

提芬尼：不要這樣啊，他已經(jīng)在路上了。

Raul: Don’t hold your breath. I’ll believe his promises when hell freezes over.

勞爾：別期望太高，地獄結冰我才會相信他的承諾。

Tiffany: Aren’t you being just a wee bit cynical?

提芬尼：你是不是太不相信他能準時到達了?

Raul: And aren’t you just indulging in wishful thinking?

勞爾：你是不是沉浸于你的想象了?

Tiffany: Hey, I think that’s him coming down the road! I think you’d better eat your words.

提芬尼：我想那個人就是他了，我覺得你得收回你說的話。

Raul: And I think you’d better get glasses.

勞爾：我認為你最好佩戴副眼鏡。
