华尔街高级英语Lesson 38

25. Where am I? What’s happened?
26. Good morning, Marco. Are you feeling better now?
27. I’ve got the most terrible headache. I think I must have flu¹ or something. Have you got a thermometer²? I ought to take my temperature.
28. You don’t need a thermometer, Marco. You need a drink. That’ll put you back on your feet again. Trust me. I know about these things.
29. No no. I mean, I do trust you, of course. But, like, would you mind telling me where I am and how I got here?
30. You’re in Mexico City in my apartment. You were really out of it on the plane, you know, Marco. Someone had to take care of you.
31. But, I’m on a business trip. I ought to be working. I must get up.
32. Oh no! I think I’ve cut myself. Have you got a bandaid?
33. I don’t think so. I’ve got some good painkillers³, though. Let me have a look.
34. These ones are amazing. They’re supposed to be for horses, but who cares? Take a couple of these with a tequila and you won’t feel a thing.
35. No way! No, absolutely not. I mean, I’m sorry, but I really must get to my hotel and set up my sales appointments.
36. Business before pleasure, hey, Marco?
37. Yes, you could say that. Well, thank you very much for your hospitality⁴.
38. What hospitality? Come on, Marco. You hardly gave me a chance.
39. Look, I’m sorry. I really must go.
40. You Italians really know how to enjoy yourselves, don’t you?
41. It’s been a great pleasure meeting you. Bye-bye.
42. Bye, Marco. Have fun.
43. Damn, Never mind. I’d better go to the hotel and get cleaned up. I’ve still got time to make a few calls today.
