PETS-2每日对话练习336
Within earshot of Mike and Gary
Paula: Mike is being ridiculous. I have to stop this.
Ivy: No. Just let them fight it out.
Paula: We don't have time for all this arguing.
Ivy: I don't like this. I know it was Mike's idea, but he's doing a crappy job as a director.
Paula: Let's go tell them what we think.
Ivy: OK. But I don't want to take sides.
Paula: I do. I'm on Gary's side all the way.
Ivy: Let's just try to get this play done.

听到麦克跟盖瑞的争吵
葆拉:麦克越来越荒谬了。我得阻止这件事。
艾薇:不要。让他们吵出个结果。
葆拉:我们没有时间这样吵个不停了。
艾薇:我不喜欢这样。我知道这原是麦克的点子,可是他是个很烂的导演。
葆拉:我们去跟他们说我们的想法。
艾薇:好。不过我可不想选边站。
葆拉:我会。我从头到尾都站在盖瑞那边。
艾薇:我们还是快把这出话剧搞定吧
