Ok guys.The plan is to refill in Hawaii, so sit down and buckle up. Gordon and I will do the rest.

各位注意,我们计划在夏成夷加油、请坐好并系上安全带、剩下的交給我和戈登。

哦，上帝啊！叫他们过来。

Guys, there's a you might wanna…

伙计们，有点问题，你们或许应该…

Not good. That is not good.

不好，非常不好。

How much fuel do we have left?

我们还有多少油？

Not enough. We have to make a water landing somewhere in South China Sea.

不够了。我们必须在中国南海附近迫降。

Great, at least we won't need a landing gear.

很好，至少不需要用起落架。

What about it?

起落架怎么了？

都落在拉斯维加斯了。

Dr Wilson, may I come in?

职场美语

I quarreled with my girlfriend this morning. It couldn't have been worse.

今天早上我和女朋友吵架了，简直太糟糕了。

Well, have you gone to pray for her pardon?

哦，你去求她原谅你了吗?

重点讲解:

It was a pity.

It couldn't have been worse.

有时候人的运气会非常不好，这个时候就会抱怨说：“太遭了”，用地道的英语来说就是：It couldn't have been worse.这是老外惯用的表达，意思是 “太糟糕了；再也不能比这更糟糕了”。
