第8课:悲伤的 - 8
【迷你小对话】
A: I am singing the blues tonight. I can’t believe I lost $500 on that horse race.
B: Yes, if I were you, I’d be down in the dumps, too.
A: The worst thing is that my wife will not forgive me. Maybe I should cry for some sympathy.
B: I hate to rain on your parade but this is all your own fault.
A: 今晚我真是垂头丧气。真不敢相信那场赛马居然让我输了500美元。
B: 是呀,要是我,我也会难过的。
A: 最糟糕的是我老婆不会原谅我。或许我该哭着博取她点儿同情。
B: 我不想泼你冷水,不过这可都是你的错。
