m: snowbell! thank goodness you're here. i'm locked in the water! can you help me? can you turn this thing off?
c: why would i turn it off? it's my favorite show.
m: that's funny. snowbell. you can't leave me!
c: talk to the butt.
m: where are you going?
c: i've gotta stare at traffic, yawn, lick myself. and believe me, that could take hours if do it right.
重点讲解
小老鼠急切地呼唤着唯一的救星,谢天谢地(thank goodness)你在这儿。他问,能不能帮他把洗衣机关掉。词组turn off表示,关掉,关上。
没想到老猫懒洋洋地说,我为什么要关上它,这是我最想看到的一幕(it's my favorite show)。小老鼠苦笑,叫喊着不让老猫离开,近于绝望地喊,你要去哪儿?
猫咪一边走一边气人地说,要去看看街景(stare at,凝视,盯住),打打呵欠,伸伸懒腰(yawn),舔舔毛(lick)。最后还假装好心地告诉小老鼠,如果操作正确,一部刚刚开动的洗衣机可以转上几个小时。
