地道美語聽力播客707: 整潔與凌亂（雙語）

Carole: It is beyond me how you and Oscar can be roommates. You’re very tidy and he’s, well, a slob.

卡羅：我無法想象你和奧斯卡居然成為室友，你很整潔，而他卻很邋遢。

Felix: It’s not always easy, but we’re making it work.

菲利克斯：不是很容易，但是我們相處的還可以。

Carole: Isn’t Oscar really messy all the time? Whenever I see him, his clothes are rumpled and his hair is unkempt.

卡羅：奧斯卡是不是真的總是很臟亂?無論什么時候見到他，他的衣服褶皺，他的頭發(fā)蓬亂。

Felix: His room is really cluttered, but he keeps the common areas in passable condition. I do have to straighten up fairly often, and I sometimes have to pick up after him, but that’s because I’m pretty nitpicky.

菲利克斯：他的房間確實(shí)雜亂，但是公用地方他保持的還可以。我經(jīng)常需要整理，有時需要收拾一下他弄的混亂，因?yàn)槲矣悬c(diǎn)雞蛋里挑骨頭。

Carole: That’s very tolerant of you.

卡羅：那你很能容忍。

Felix: Well, we have set up a system so that if things get too messy, I have some recourse.

菲利克斯：我們制定了一個規(guī)則，如果東西太雜亂，我可以對他提出些要求。

Carole: Really, what’s your system?

卡羅：真是，那你們的規(guī)則是什么?

Felix: Oscar and I agreed that every time he leaves a big mess, I can fine him.

菲利克斯：奧斯卡跟我達(dá)成一致：每次他留下一片狼藉時，我可以懲罰他。

Carole: That seems kind of drastic, but maybe it works for you guys.

卡羅：那似乎有點(diǎn)嚴(yán)厲，但也許對你們男生來說行得通。

Felix: Yeah, it keeps the place pretty clean.

菲利克斯：是的，這樣能夠讓這兒很干凈。

Carole: Still, knowing Oscar, you must have had to fine him a lot.

卡羅：根據(jù)對奧斯卡的了解，你一定懲罰過他很多次。

Felix: Let’s just say that my next vacation will be in Monte Carlo!

菲利克斯：我們這樣說吧：接下來會去摩納哥旅行!
