Shelly: Where are we going? 
謝莉：我們?nèi)ツ膬海?br /> Carl: We’re going to the track. I have a tip on a sure thing for one of this afternoon’s races. This is exactly what I need after last week’s setback. 
卡爾：我們要去賽道。今天下午的競賽我有個確切的秘密消息。這正是我上周遭受挫折后所需要的。
Shelly: You mean after losing all of your money last week. 
謝莉：你是說上周輸?shù)羲绣X之后。
Carl: Right, but all I need to do is to get that monkey off my back and then I’ll have a reversal of fortune. Winning big this afternoon will be the start of a new winning streak. 
卡爾：是的，但我需要做的是除去心里的不快，那時我就會時來運轉(zhuǎn)。今天下午贏一大把將會是個連勝的開始。
Shelly: Maybe what happened last week is really a sign of things to come. Maybe it was the start of a losing streak. 
謝莉：也許上周發(fā)生的事確實是個征兆，也許是連敗的開端。
Carl: Don’t jinx me with that kind of negativity. I’ve always believed that when you meet with a setback, come back with all you’ve got. 
卡爾：別用那種消息思想給我?guī)矶蜻\。我總是相信當(dāng)你遭遇挫折時，用你所有再重新扳回一局。
Shelly: Does that mean what I think it means? 
謝莉：那是不是就是我想的那樣？
Carl: Yes, that’s right. I’m plunking down all $500 on that race. I can’t lose. 
卡爾：是的，很正確。我把500美元全賭在這場比賽上了，我不能輸。
Shelly: But what if – 
謝莉：但是如果……
Carl: Don’t say another word. When I win and get back in my stride, you can say, “Congratulations!” 
卡爾：不要說如果，等我贏的時候，形勢開始好轉(zhuǎn)，你只需要說：“祝賀你”。
