华尔街中级英语Lesson 36

20. Is anybody sitting here?
21. No, lady, go for it.
22. What are you having?
23. Oh!  Er…anything you  haven’t made yourselves.  A bottle of orange juice.
24. We don’t have bottles.  We only have cans
25. A can, then
26. And I’ll have a fried¹ egg sandwich, and a coffee.
27. One fried egg sandwich, one orange juice, one coffee.
28. That’s it.
29. Now, then.  I’m waiting to hear your explanation.  Annie.
30. First for all, Dad, please don’t talk to me as if I was a child.  I’m grown up now;  I’m almost 20 years old!
31. Yes, of course, Annie, I’m sorry
32. I don’t know how to say this but…you know,  when I was younger, I used to think you were wonderful, really!
33. I used to think:” I’ve got such a clever Daddy: he makes so much money, and we live in such a lovely apartment.”
34. And we go on all these expensive vacations
35. But you see I’m an adult now, not a child, and I can see things that I just couldn’t see then.
36. What sort of things.
37. I’ve seen what it has done to you, dad.  I’ve see the kind of person you’ve become.
38. Look, I’m sorry.  But I don’t want to become like you.  Do you understand.
39. Become like what?
40. There are so many things that matter to me more than money.
41. And I’m not going to go and marry some horrible, rich, fat businessman or some successful robot that I don’t care a damn² about.
42. Like David and his darling Juanita!
43. But I haven’t asked you to!  Look here, Annie.  With this disgusting money of mine I’ve sent you to school in Switzerland.
44. I’ve paid for you to go on vacation in the Seychelles, in Beli, and I Bermuda.
45. You did that very expensive secretary course, and I paid for it. 
46. I’ve bought you designer clothes from the best stores in Washdon, and if you wanted a car you know I’ll be happy to buy you one.
47. Are you trying to tell me that all this has been totally hell³.
48. You just don’t want to understand, do you?
49. Here’s your fried egg sandwich.  And you orange juice.
50. It’s alright.  I’ll open it.  And would you mind bringing me a clean glass, please?
51. Very well.
52. Obviously nobody does any washing-up in this place!
53. You’re such a snob⁴, Dad!
54. Oh, I see!  So it’s snobbish⁵ to want to be clean now.
55. I thought you wanted to live in a clean environment, not a disgustingly filthy⁶ one
56. I suppose your boyfriend has taught you all this nonsense⁷, has he?  Is he the one who shouted to me?
57. We don’t have “boyfriends and girlfriends”—Dad, that’s so old-fashioned⁸.  We don’t believe in being someone else property
58. I see.  You mean everybody sleeps with everyone else?
59. No.  I don’t mean that!  If you really want to know, I don’t sleep with any of them
60. No. I don’t want to know.  I really think. I’ve heard enough of this nonsense!  I’m going!
61. Please yourself!  You’ll be alright, Dad.   you’ve still got your money, haven’t you
62. I can’t just leave things like that
63. Listen Annie, I’m sorry about some if the things I said
64. That’s alright, it’s just what I expected.  Can you pass the pepper and salt. Please
65. Here you are, lady.
66. Look Annie, if you want to get in touch with me,  I’ll be at the Marlborough Hotel for the next few weeks, ok?
67. What’s the matter with the apartment.
68. Oh, nothing. There is some men painting it.  That’s all.  So , if you want to get in touch, you know where to find me.
69. Well,  Okay dad.  Got it.  Bye-bye Annie.  See you soon.
70. Maybe. So long
