C: hey Jayden, I was wondering if you could do me a favor.
J: that depends. What is it?
C: it's kind of a big favor. I'm absolutely flat broke, and I owe my landlady $200. she's given me until Friday to give it to her, but I don't get paid until next Monday. Do you think you could loan me some cash until I get paid?
J: I'd love to help you out, but I'm a bit short on cash this month as well. I had to get a new engine put into my car, and that ate up my savings.
C: if you can't give me the full amount, a fraction of it would still help. I'll pay you back on Monday. I promise.
J: let's see, I've got about $50 to get me through the weekend. I can only spare about $20. I would give you more if I had it, I just don't have much money to my name right now.
C: thanks a lot Jayden. Every little bit will help. Tell you what, if you aren't doing anything tonight, why don't you come over and have dinner at my place.
J: that'd be great. Thanks! What time should I come over?
C: how about at 6 pm?
J: see you then!
嗨，杰登，我正想找你帮忙呢。
看情况吧，什么事？
是件大事。我身无分文，还欠了房东太太200美元。她限我在周五之前还钱，但是我下周一才能领薪水。在领工资之前，你能不能借我点现金？
我很想帮你解决这个困难，但是我这个月也很缺钱。我刚刚给我的汽车买了个新的发动机，这花光了我所有的积蓄。
如果你不能借我全款，借我一部分也能帮上忙。我下周一一定还给你，我保证。
咱们看看啊，我撑到这周末一共需要50块钱，那就还能剩下20块给你。要是有的话，我一定多给你一些，可是我名下真的没什么钱了。
非常感谢你，杰登。每一点钱都会非常有帮助的。我跟你说，要是你今晚没什么安排的话，为什么不来我家吃晚饭呢？
那可太好了。谢谢！我几点过去？
晚上6点怎么样？
到时候见.
