地道美语听力播客601:暗示

Roberta: You know, my birthday is coming up.

罗伯特：你知道的，我的生日要来了。

John: Yeah, I know. What are you getting at?

约翰：嗯，我知道啊，你什么意思?

Roberta: Nothing. I was just thinking that it's kind of an important birthday, a major birthday.

罗伯特：没事，我就是在想那是一个很重要的生日，一个主要的生日。

John: Yes, I know. Spit it out. What are you driving at?

约翰：是，我知道。有话直说，你到底想说什么?

Roberta: I was just thinking that some people might not know what to get me for such an important birthday, since some people don't like to put a lot of thought into presents.

罗伯特：我只是在想一些人可能不知道这个生日对我来说很重要，因为有些人不喜欢花太多心思去挑选礼物。

John: What are you implying? Are you insinuating that I don't get you good presents for your birthdays?

约翰：你在暗示什么?你是在暗示我没有给你准备好的生日礼物吗?

Roberta: No, of course not. I just don't want you to have to rack your brain to think of the perfect gift, that's all.

罗伯特：不，当然不是啦，我只是不想要你花费时间绞尽脑汁去想什么是最好的礼物而已。

John: Just tell me. What should I get you for your very important birthday?

约翰：那就直接告诉我，我应该为你这么重要的生日准备什么礼物呢?

Roberta: What? Just blurt it out? I can't do that. I can give you a hint, but since you love me so much, I'm sure you can read my mind.

罗伯特：什么?你就让我这样直接说出来?我不能说，我能给你一个提示，但是因为你如此爱我，我确信你可以猜懂我的心思。

John: That's where you're wrong. If I had a nickel for every time a woman thought I should be able to read her mind, I'd be the richest man in the world! I don't have an inkling of what you have on your mind.

约翰：这就是你不对的地方了，如果我每次都能猜对女人在想什么，那么我就成了世界上最富有的男人，我不知道你心里在想什么。

Roberta: All right, I'll make it more than a hint. I'll give you three clues.

罗伯特：好吧，我再给你透漏一点，我会给你三个提示。

John: Great. That'll make things crystal clear.

约翰：太好了，这样就一清二楚了。
