To Get your Hands Dirty 亲自动手 Neil: Hello, Im Neil. Li: What a miserable day it is today! Hey, I think thats Li! Neil: What on earths she doing?! Shes on her hands and knees in the mud. Li! Li: Oh! Hello! Neil: Are you okay? Li: Yes, I am fine thanks. Neil: Is there any particular reason you are in the mud? Li: 你问我为什么在泥里?因为我要把我的双手弄脏啊! Neil: Right. Li: 为了参加小区里的节庆活动,就是今天晚上啊,你不知道! Neil: I know. But I think Im going to be having a shower and making myself clean, rather than dirty. Maybe this is some kind of low-cost spa treatment? Li: Oh no. 我不是在用泥土来做美容,是这次活动的领队告诉我们要这样做的。 Neil: Did he? Li: Yes he did. 上个星期他跟我们说希望我们每个人都出力参与这项节庆活动。He wanted each of us to contribute. If its going to be a success, you must all get your hands dirty, thats what he said. 他明明是在说让我们把手弄脏啊! Neil: Ohhhhhh! Li: What? Neil: I dont think he meant you should actually come with dirty hands. Its an expression! |
