Pests in the Office 辦公室裡的害蟲

无聊天才

Connie：Ahhhh!

康妮︰啊！

Steve：What is it, Connie? Are you OK?

史提夫︰康妮，怎么啦？妳還好吧？

Connie：A rat just ran across my desk. That’s disgusting!

康妮︰剛剛有隻老鼠跑過我的桌子，真惡心！

Steve：Really? How could this office get infested with rats?

史提夫︰真的？辦公室裡怎么會有老鼠？

Connie：It was probably because of all the food that was left out after Roger’s party. If it doesn’t get thrown away afterwards, it quickly attracts vermin.

康妮︰大概是因為羅傑辦派對所剩下來的食物吧。如果之后沒丟掉，很快就會引來害蟲。

Steve：I’m really sorry, Connie. I’ll call the exterminators right away. For now, let’s make sure there’s no food in the office.

史提夫︰康妮，我真的很抱歉。我馬上打電話給除蟲大隊。現在，讓我們確定辦公室裡沒有食物。

Connie：I wish you’d done that to begin with.

康妮︰我真希望你一開始就這么做。
