5. Sorry, I'm Late. 對(duì)不起，我遲到了
A: Well, you finally got here. It's about time. I've been waiting in this restaurant a full thirty minutes.
B: Sorry, Jeannie. You know me. I'm always late.
A: Everybody knows, and every body's getting tired of it. Five,
ten, thirty minutes all the time. No one is that busy. Even in school you always interrupt the teacher right in the middle of a sentence. The whole class has to wait while you sit down and put down your books. It annory s him and everyone else.
B: All I can say is sorry. Maybe I'll reform, but don't count on it.
Notes:
it's about time-you are late (注意：這是一句表示生氣的話(huà)，用于責(zé)怪對(duì)方不遵守時(shí)間。在青年人中常用)
get tired of… 對(duì)…感到厭倦
it annoys him 這使他討厭
reform 改正(作風(fēng)、做法)
譯文：
A：啊，你總算來(lái)了。你遲到了。我在這家飯店足足等了三十分鐘。
B：對(duì)不起，珍妮。你是知道我的，我總是遲到。
A：人人都知道，人人都對(duì)此感到討厭，遲到五分、十分、三十分鐘，老是這樣。沒(méi)有人會(huì)那么忙。即使在學(xué)校里，老師講話(huà)講到一半總是被你的遲到打斷。全班不得不等你坐好放下書(shū)本。這使老師和每個(gè)同學(xué)都感到討厭。
B：我所能說(shuō)的只有抱歉。也許我會(huì)改正，不過(guò)別對(duì)我抱太大希望。
