华尔街中级英语Lesson 56

Oh, Gee¹! It looks like I’ve finished all the booze. Hey, what’s this?
Gosh, it’s a radio! I wonder if it’s got any battery² in it?
And this week’s Number 1, all across the nation, is of course, Nervous Equipment, with “ Suicide³ Jive”!
Nervous Equipment, at No.1? That’s amazing! I know, I’ll go and see them.
They’re certain to remember me! Maybe they’ll give me a job…
Hello! Hello! Are Nervous Equipment in there?
Yeah? What do you want?
Sorry to bother you, I just thought I’d come over to, like, say “hi”, that’s all. Er…can I come in, please?
It’s alright, Terry, you can let him in.
What about the dog?
Down Wart⁴, down! Down! OK, you can come in now.
Well, hello.
Hello.
Hello.
So, you’re at Number 1 now?
Right.
Right.
That’s great!
Yeah.
Gee, I’m sorry about what happened that evening we went to New Camford. Like, I tried – I did my best, really!
It wouldn’t happen now, would it, if we went there again? They’ll listen to us this time, won’t they?
Not that I want to go there again, of course.
Anyway, I mean, at least you played; your music was heard, wasn’t it?
You never know, maybe it even helped you to get to No.1! Well, maybe not.
Look, I’m just asking you to give me a chance. There must be something I can do for you.
Do you need someone to clean your van?
Hey Dudu, when’s that plane?
In about a couple of hours.
What about our equipment?
It’s all been looked after, hasn’t it, Terry?
That’s right. All the equipment, and all your luggage has been sent on. It’ll be there when you arrive.
So why don’t we, like, go to the airport?
Yeah, I think we should.
Where are you going, If you don’t mind me asking?
We’re going to Trindad for a music festival.
Oh! I see! It must be a wonderful place!
Do you want to come too?
Can I?
It doesn’t make any difference to me.
That’s really kind of you!
Alright by you, Sasa?
I don’t care.
OK. Let’s go, then.
Right.
