2017公共英语考试PETS2对话练习（四）

They all meet up the next week for coffee

Milt: I just got a threatening phone call last night!

Seth: One of your many ex-girlfriends, no doubt.

Milt: I wish. No, it was a guy who claimed my brother had stolen his car. He knew my name, everything about me. He said he’d kill me if I don’t wire him one hundred thousand dollars by midnight, tonight! I’m scared, man! He sounded like a gangster.

Seth: Whoa there, calm down. This is probably just another scam, don’t you think?

隔周，他们约了一起喝咖啡

米特：我昨晚刚接到一通恐吓电话!

赛司：一定是你那堆前女友之一。

米特：但愿如此。不是，那是个说我弟弟偷了他车的人。他知道我的名字和我所有的事。他说如果我不在今晚午夜前汇给他十万块，他会杀了我。老兄，我吓死了!他听起来很像流氓。

赛司：哇，冷静下来。这可能只是另一宗诈骗，你不觉得吗?
