PETS－2每日对话练习340

Gary, Paula and Ivy are left on the stage
　　Paula: I have no idea what to do.
　　Gary: Mike needs to get off his butt and start giving us direction.
　　Paula: Why aren't you directing it? You're much better at it than Mike.
　　Gary: Mike wrote it, so he feels like it belongs to him.
　　Paula: That's stupid. My grandparents are coming to watch the play.
　　Gary: Maybe he'll come back and do something useful for a change. [Gary leaves]
　　Paula: I don't want to disappoint my grandma. She's looking forward to this play.

　　剩下盖瑞、葆拉跟艾薇在舞台上
　　葆拉：我不知道要怎么办。
　　盖瑞：麦克得加把劲开始教我们怎么做。
　　葆拉：你为什么不来导这出戏？这方面你比麦克厉害多了。
　　盖瑞：麦克写的剧本，所以他觉得应该由他来导。
　　葆拉：真蠢。我爷爷奶奶要来看这出话剧耶。
　　盖瑞：也许他回来后会做些有意义的改变。（盖瑞离开）
　　葆拉：我可不想让我奶奶失望。她很期待这个话剧。
