PETS－2每日對話練習289

　　The next day
　　Troy: Rita, I bought these flowers for you. [puts vase on her desk]
　　Rita: Why? Did you do something that is going to make me angry?
　　Troy: Excuse me? No. I just wanted to say thank you.
　　Rita: Thank you for what? Not docking all your salary?
　　Troy: Well that, too. For making our department such a well-oiled team.
　　Rita: Uh, whatever. I don't want those flowers near my desk. I'm allergic.
　　Troy: [To self as he takes the flowers away] You can bet I knew that already.

　　隔天
　　特洛伊：莉塔，我買了這些花給你。（把花瓶放在她辦公桌上）
　　莉塔：怎樣？你做了什麽會讓我火大的事嗎？
　　特洛伊：什麽？不。我衹是想要跟你道謝。
　　莉塔：謝啥？沒有把你的薪水都釦光？
　　特洛伊：也算是謝那個啦。是爲了謝你讓我們部門成爲一個這麽順暢的團隊。
　　莉討：嗯，隨便你。我不想要這些花靠近我的桌子。我會過敏。
　　特洛伊：（拿花離開時對自己說）你可以賭我早就知道囉。
　　重點解說：
　　★ well-oiled (a.) 順利的，運作良好的
　　★ allergic (a.) 過敏的
