E:Sure. Er, where is it?

艾凡：沒問題。呃，在哪兒?

K:On the bed.

E:No wonder I couldn't find it! It's buried under a mound of your clothes.

艾凡：難怪我找不到!原來是埋在你一大堆衣服底下。

K:OK, OK. I get the hint. I should hang up my clothes in the closet. You sound just like my mother.

凱西：好啦，好啦。我聽懂你的暗示了。我應(yīng)該把我的衣服掛在衣櫥里。你說話的語氣就像我老媽。

E:I just think you could be a little neater; that's all. Anyway, here's your pocketbook.

艾凡：我只是認為你可以更有條理些，如此而已。不管怎樣，這是你的錢包。

K:I want to check through my things. We'll be going back to New York soon, and I want to make sure I've got everything.

凱西：我想檢查一下我的東西。我們馬上就要回紐約了，我想確定每樣東西都在。

E:That's a good idea. I'll check my wallet, too.

艾凡：主意不錯。我也來檢查我的皮夾子。

K:Gee, it was here a few days ago.

凱西：咦，它前幾天還在這兒的。

E:Is anything missing?

艾凡：有東西不見了嗎?

K:I must have put it in something else.

凱西：我一定把它放到別的東西里面去了。

E:What's missing?

艾凡：什么東西不見了?

K:I can't find my passport!

凱西：我找不到我的護照!

E:Oh, no! This is really bad. What are we going to do?

艾凡：哦，糟了!這下可慘了。我們要怎么辦呢?

K:Well, let's not panic. If it doesn't show up, we'll have to go to the American Embassy.

凱西：嗯，咱們不要驚慌。如果找不到的話，就只好到美國大使館去了。
