189. Janitor Work

　　189. 看門工作

　　"Now I don't want to rub you the wrong way, young man, but you didn't put enough rug cleaner on over here.

　　“現(xiàn)在我不想惹怒你，小伙子，可是你沒有用地毯淸潔器把這里弄干凈。

　　I think you’re going to have to run across it again!" Ugh. Tommy hated this new job as a janitor!

　　我想你得再過一遍!”哎，湯米真恨這份新找的看門人的工作!

　　He would much rather just run errands for some lawyer or businessman.

　　他寧愿只給某個律師或者生意人跑腿辦事兒。

　　But he had to run against business majors for those jobs-he didn't stand a chance!

　　可他得與學商務專業(yè)的學生競爭才能獲得那些工作——他沒有任何希望!

　　"Aw, Bill. It's running late and I’m feeling pretty run down. Can't we just run it up as done and over and get out of here?" Tommy asked.

　　“哦，比爾，時間不早了，我覺得很累。我們不能趕快完事離開這里嗎?”湯米問。

　　"Nope. We can't run away from our responsibility. Do it again!"

　　“不行，我們不能逃離我們的責任。重新做一次吧!”

　　When the cleaner ran out of power, Tommy thanked God. He had hoped it was running low on gas, and he was right.

　　清潔器的能量用完，湯米謝天謝地。他曾希望它的汽油快點耗盡，還真讓他說著了。

　　"Aw, we ran the cleaner too hard! I guess I’ll have to get some more gas tomorrow morning before I come back to work,” Tommy said.

　　“啊，我們使這臺機器使得太狠了!我想明早我回來工作之前得多弄點汽油來�！睖�米說。

　　"You lucked out this time, son," Bill said with a frown as he scratched his gray head. "

　　“你這次運氣挺好，孩子，”比爾一邊撓著白發(fā)一邊皺著眉說。

　　After you get the gas tomorrow, run over and pick up some new mops too, okay?

　　明天弄到汽油之后，再去找些新拖把來，好嗎?

　　And if you run into Mrs. Wilson at the supply store, tell her that old Bill said hi!"

　　如果你在供應店碰到威爾遜夫人，告訴她老比爾問她好!”

　　Bill smiled. "Oh, and then stop by the copy store to run off some new flyers. We need to find some more business!"

　　比爾笑道。“噢，在復印店停一下，印一些新傳單。我們要尋找更多的生意!”

　　"Sure. No problem. I'll say hi to your girlfriend for you old man!" Tommy replied. He was just glad to be done with work for the night.

　　“好的，沒問題。我會替你老人家向你女朋友問好的!”湯米回答道。他很高興晚上的活兒干完了。

　　Now to find his friends and go get a beer!

　　現(xiàn)在他要去找朋友喝杯啤酒!
