Part III Getting to Know Each Other 相互认识
PAULA: Seems colder today, or is it just me?
MARIA:Er… I’m not sure.
PAULA:Peter should be here soon… There was a very good French film on TV last night. Did you see it?
MARIA: No, no I didn’t.
PAULA: So, are you settling in?
MARIA: Yes, fine, thank you.
PAULA: That’s good. You’ve got a company flat, haven’t you?
MARIA: Yes, I’m very lucky.
PAULA: Yes, you know they’re like gold dust. I tried to get one when I first started working here, but they wouldn’t give me one. It’s a very odd system because some people have had a company flat for years and they pay peanuts in rent for them.
MARIA: Oh, look, there’s Mr O’Donnell.
PETER: Sorry I’m late.
PAULA: Good. We can order now.
PETER: Still, it’s given you girls a chance to get to know each other. What shall we have?
波拉: 今天有点冷,还是只有我觉得冷?
玛丽亚: 嗯……我没有太大感觉。
波拉: 彼得马上就到了……昨晚有一部很好看的法国电视,你看了吗?
玛丽亚: 没看。
波拉: 那么,你安顿好了吗?
玛丽亚: 是的,安顿好了,谢谢。
波拉: 太好了。公司给你提供了房子,是吗?
玛丽亚: 是的,我很幸运。
波拉: 是的,这样的机会太宝贵了。当初我刚来这儿的时候也想让公司提供一套房子,但公司没有给我提供。公司的住房分配体系很奇怪,有些人住了很长时间,却只需交很少的房租。
玛丽亚: 噢,看,彼得来了。
彼得: 对不起,我迟到了。
波拉: 好了,我们可以点菜了。
彼得: 还好,让你们俩好好认识认识。想吃什么?
PAULA: Seems colder today, or is it just me?
MARIA: It is colder. It was on the weather forecast.
PAULA: Was it? I’m sure it’s not normally this cold.
MARIA: Still, it’s warmer than I expected!
PAULA: Really? I suppose it’s still pretty hot in Spain at this time of year.
MARIA: Yes, especially where I come from.
PAULA: Where’s that?

玛丽亚: 是有点冷,天气预报也说了。
波拉: 是吗?这种冷有点不寻常。
玛丽亚: 不过,可比我预想的要暖和多了!
波拉: 真的吗?这个时候在西班牙应该还是挺热的。
玛丽亚: 是的,特别是在我那儿。
波拉: 哪儿?
