LH: Larry, 還要開多長時(shí)間才到多倫多啊？
Larry: If we don't make any more stops, we should get there by nightfall.
LH: 啊，天黑的時(shí)候才能到？可我已經(jīng)快餓死了！咱們停下來找點(diǎn)東西吃吧？
Larry: Actually, we have a free dinner waiting for us at the hotel in Toronto.
LH: 我知道酒店有免費(fèi)晚餐，可是還要幾個(gè)小時(shí)才能吃到，我堅(jiān)持不住啦！
Larry: You know me, Lihua, I'm a cheapskate. Sorry.
LH: Cheesecake? 你帶了芝士蛋糕? 快給我吃！
Larry: No, not cheesecake... cheapskate. A cheapskate is someone who is very cheap, or doesn't like to spend money.
LH: Cheapskate就是小氣鬼。沒錯(cuò)，你就是個(gè)cheapskate！要不是你舍不得花錢，我們才不會(huì)選多倫多度假呢，早買張飛機(jī)票飛去泰國了！
Larry: Thailand? Don't be ridiculous! Even if I wasn't a cheapskate, you know we can't afford to go that far away for vacation!
LH: 那，就算去不起泰國，咱們停下車吃頓飯總可以吧？
Larry: If we stop for food, we'll waste time, gas, and money. I think we should just wait until we get to Toronto.
LH: Why are you being such a cheapskate?? 咱們剛開始約會(huì)的時(shí)候，你可是特別喜歡給我買吃的呢！
Larry: Oh, yeah, I remember that... Actually, now that I think about it, I think I might have some of that candy you like in my backpack...something like a white rabbit, right?
LH: 大白兔奶糖？哪里？！還真有誒! 可這包已經(jīng)過期了。不過我太餓，將就吃了！
Larry: Phew! Looks like I dodged a bullet there.
LH: (With candy in her mouth) Dodge a bullet? 躲避子彈？你又在說什么我聽不懂的話了？
Larry: To dodge a bullet means to narrowly escape a very bad situation. For example, a second ago you were about to get really angry because I wouldn't stop for food, but luckily, I had that bag of Chinese candy to keep you happy!
LH: 哦, to dodge a bullet意思就是 “逃過一劫”，躲過了非常糟糕的事情。你說，要不是因?yàn)槟惆镎糜刑牵铱隙〞?huì)因?yàn)轲I肚子而大發(fā)脾氣，所以你算是躲過了我的一頓數(shù)落。
Larry: That's right.
LH: 可是吃糖吃不飽啊！
Larry: We have a perfectly wonderful - and free - dinner waiting for us in Toronto. Sorry, Lihua, we're not stopping.
(ding! The gasoline light comes on)
Larry: Uh-oh.
LH: Larry， 什么聲音？是不是沒油啦？你看看！幾個(gè)小時(shí)前我不是讓你把油箱加滿么！
Larry: I heard the gas is a lot cheaper in Toronto, so I didn't want to buy more gas than I needed to... I thought this would be enough for us to reach Toronto!
LH: 啊？你因?yàn)橛X得加拿大的汽油便宜，就不舍得在美國加油，打算堅(jiān)持到多倫多再說？你怎么這么小氣！Cheapskate！
Larry: I hope we can find a gas station in time... I haven't seen any signs for a gas station for awhile...
LH: 我的老天！附近沒有加油站？那我們豈不是要身陷荒野！
Larry: Don't worry, we always have my cell phone if we need to call for help.
LH: 打電話求救？呃，我剛才一直拿你的手機(jī)玩游戲，已經(jīng)沒電了。
Larry: Oh good grief. Luckily, I think I have an extra battery in my backpack. Check the outside pocket.
LH: 啊！真的，這里有塊備用電池！We dodged a bullet！我們逃過了一劫！
Larry: Speaking of dodging a bullet, it looks like there's a gas station a few miles ahead. We should be able to get there without a problem.
LH: 太好了！前面有加油站，咱們快去把油箱加滿！
Larry: OK, I won't be such a cheapskate this time.
LH: 對(duì)！這次別再小氣了！還有，在加油站給我買點(diǎn)吃的來！
Larry: OK, fine. You got it.
