Eztalk美语【240】cross-dressing Bush穿女装的布什

In the office, Wednesday morning

Jess: But still, I didn't want this wallpaper. And every time I try to open a program, all I see is a cross-dressing Bush.
Ann: I heard about that horrible virus! It automatically e-mails itself as an attachment¹ to everyone in your address book.
Jess: Well, it's already got on my computer. How do I get rid of it?
Ann: Vote it out in the next election.
Jess: Hey, knock it off-this is serious!
Ann: Have the IT department run a virus disinfection program. Hopefully, the problem will be gone by 2005.

洁丝：呃，它现在已经跑进我的计算机里了。我要怎么清掉？
