2017公共英语考试PETS2对话练习（六）

Seth’s girlfriend Ash shows up

Ash: Hey there, boys, what are you two talking about?

Milt: Scam artists. Your boyfriend was just about to throw away your future nest egg on some online scam.

Ash: My Sethie wouldn’t do something like that, would he? [sits down and cuddles with Seth]

Milt: Seth’s lucky he has the two of us to keep him out of trouble.

Ash: Now don’t you be mean, Milt. Anyone can be fooled. Didn’t I tell you why my grandpa moved back in with us?

赛司的女朋友爱许出现

爱许：嘿，男生们，你们两个在讲什么啊?

米特：谈骗子。你男朋友才刚要把你们未来的积蓄都投入某个网络上的骗局。

爱许：我的小赛司不会做这种事的，对吧?(坐下来搂住赛司)

米特：赛司很幸运有我们两个让他免于受难。

爱许：不要那么刻薄嘛，米特。任何人都可能被骗。我没告诉你为什么我爷爷会搬回来跟我们住吗?

重点解说：

★ nest egg 储蓄金。throw away one’s future nest egg on... 指‘把未来的积蓄都投入…’

★ cuddle (v.) 搂抱

★ keep someone out of trouble 让某人免于惹上麻烦

★ mean (a.) 刻薄的
