CSI,《犯罪现场调查》
A:Oh, did I tell you, you can't check into the hotel till after four.
甲:哦，我告诉过你吧，要到四点以后才可以登记入住。
B:I'll find something to do.
乙:我会自己找些事情做的。
A:Well, I'm wondering if you might hang out and volunteer your services here. Isn't that what you do? Talk to groups about sexual deviancy?
甲:我想，如果你自己找事做，那可不可以在这提供一下志愿服务？你不是经常这么做吗？给我们讲讲性方面不正常的例子。
B:You want me to help you do your job? Help you find those missing kids?
乙:你想让我帮你们做事？帮你们找那些失踪的孩子？
A:Yeah, that's what I want. So you going to help us out or what?
甲:是的，我是这么想的。你愿不愿意帮我们？
B:I may be able to offer some insights. But only if I can talk to the other guy. I'm a victim of abuse. My older brother. I was eight. He was much older-sixteen. He was jealous and angry. He wanted to destroy me. It's not offered as an excuse, but it might explain why I'm here with you right now.
乙:我可以提供一些有用的东西。但我只和那个人谈。我是受过虐待的，我哥哥。我当时8岁，他比我大很多—16岁。他被妒我、讨厌我，他想毀了我：我并不是在找借口，但多少可以解释我现在为什么坐在这里。
A:These are known child molesters living within our search radius.
甲:这些是在我们搜索范围内已知的一些猥亵儿童者。
B:I met him in prison. He's an environmental offender. Situational. Only molests members of his own family. Small world-he's in my support group. Your boys are too ripe for him. He likes toddlers. A couple of these guys are mysopeds-aggressive pedophiles. Some of their pleasures derive from physical violence. They like to molest, then beat, and sometimes kill their victims. But these guys aren't killers.
乙:我在监狱里碰到过这个人。他是个环境型犯罪者，是情境型的。只会伤害他们自己家里的人。世界真小—他是我援助小组里的。你们要找的小孩对他来说太大了。他喜欢那些刚会走路的。这里有些是严重恋童者—攻击型的恋童者。他们要施暴才会获得快感。他们先是猥亵，然后动手打，有时还会杀害受害者。但这些人不是凶手。
A:Who said the boys were dead?
甲:谁说那些男孩已经死了？
B:They've been gone a long time.
乙:他们已经失踪很久了。
生活口语
When will you be staying with us?
什么时候入住？
I'll check in this afternoon and check out on the 16th.
我今天下午人住，16号退房。
重点讲解:
When do you need the room?
When will you be staying with us?
在预订酒店客房的时候，工作人员会询问我们的入住时间，与When do you need the room?这句话相比，When will you be staying with us?显得更加亲切，拉近了酒店与客人之间的距离。类似的表达还有What date would you like the reservation for?
