Passage Two
段落二
My friend Leo makes up weak and poor excuses whenever there are something he doesn't want to do.
我的朋友里欧只要有不想做的事情，就说一些差劲的借口。
Just 2 weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn't want to go into work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires to put on his truck. Then, he sat down and watch TV with me.
两周前，他在我家，当他决定不去工作时，他就打电话跟老板说他的车要换一个新轮胎。然后，他就继续坐下与我一起看电视。
Not only had he lied, but his excuse wasn't a very convincing one.
他不仅撒谎，而且他的谎言也没有说服性。
Another time he canceled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute, telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck.
又有一次，他在和女友见面的最后一刻取消约会，因为他的卡车要换一块新电池。
She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized.
她很生气，拒绝再和他出去直到他道歉。
Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet.
上个周末。里欧又提出了最差劲的借口。
He'd promised he'd help me move some furniture from my parents' house to my new apartment.
他承诺帮我从我父母的家里搬一些家具到我的新家。
He was supposed to bring his truck over about 8 o'clock Saturday morning. I waited and then called and left a message on his machine.
星期六早上8点左右，他应该把卡车开来。我等着，然后打电话给他并且留了言。
About 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he'd been getting a new set of tires put on his truck.
大约11：30左右，他打电话跟我道歉说他的卡车在换一套新的轮胎。
I guess he'd forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house. I think I need a new set of friends and beginning to get tired at Leo's excuse.
我猜他可能忘了，当他在我家给老板打电话时用了同样的借口。我想我应该交新的朋友了，我已经厌倦了里欧的借口
