Leaving for Work 去上班
    A: Joe, have you seen my umbrella? My rubbers are here in the hall closet, but the umbrella's disappeared.
    B: Don't ask me. I wouldn't be caught dead with an umbrella.
    A: Well, it isn't here, and a raincoat's too hot. Maybe I left it on campus. I'll just borrow your coat. Don't work too hard. Goodbye.
    B: Hey, Bob. What'll I wear to work? Hey, Ahhh, he's gone. Well, I'll have another cup of coffee. Maybe the sun'll come out.
    Notes
    Rubbers 套鞋
    I wouldn't be caught dead with an umbrella-I don't like to be seen with an umbrella(這是一句習慣用語,be caught dead with的意思是:被人發(fā)現(xiàn)有…)
    A:喬,你看見我的雨傘了嗎? 我的套鞋在客廳的壁櫥里,但雨傘不見了。
    B:別問我。 我從不愿別人看到我手里拿著一把傘。
    A:嗯,可是這里還是沒有, 穿雨衣又太熱。也許我忘在校園里了。我就借你的雨衣吧。別工作得那么賣力。 再見。
    B:嗨,我穿什么去上班? 嗨, 唉唉,他走了。好吧,我再來一杯咖啡,也許太陽就要出來。
