今天的這段對話,在討論撿到錢,
朋友在路上撿到錢包,如何勸說他交給警察
來聽今天的講解:
A: I just found a bag on the street with one thousand dollars in it.
我剛剛在路上撿到了一個錢包,里面有1000美元。
B: What? That's a lot of money. You have to turn it in to the police.
什么?那可是一大筆錢呢,你應該把它交給警察。
A: Are you nuts? You are right, it is a lot of money. I'm keeping it.
你說的對,確實是一大筆錢,錢歸我了。
B: But it's not yours. Just think if you were the person who lost all that money, how would you feel?
但那不是你的。你想想,要是你是那個丟了錢這么多錢的人,你會有什么感受?
A: Pretty bad, but I'm not that person.
很糟糕,但是我不是那個人。
B: Don't be so selfish. Do the right thing. Besides, if the police can't find the owner, they will give the money back to you, and even if they do, the owner will probably give you a reward.
不要這么自私。你應該做正確的事情。而且,如果警察找不到失主的話,他們會把錢再給你的。再說,就算他們找到了失主,失主也可能會給你一些回報的。
A: Well, I guess you're right. I would feel a bit guilty keeping it. Okay, I agree. Let's go to the police station together.
好吧,我想你說得對。留下這筆錢讓我有一點兒負罪感。好,我同意了,咱們一起去警察局吧。
