领养猫英语怎么说(进阶)
领养猫,第一句怎么说?
完整台词
Lin
Hi, I'm hoping to adopt a cat today, if that's possible.你好,如果可以的话,我今天想领养一只猫。
对方
Absolutely. Are you after a kitten, or would an older cat suit you better?当然可以。你是想要小猫,还是年纪大一点的猫更适合你?
Lin
Probably an adult—someone easygoing. My apartment's small, and my singing's a lot.可能想要成猫——性格随和一点。我家不大,而且我唱歌有点吵。
对方
Then I've got one in mind. She's sweet, independent, and only mildly judgmental.那我倒想到一只。她很亲人,也挺独立,就是有点爱挑剔。
Lin
Honestly, I can live with judgmental. Does she warm up to people quickly?说真的,我能接受挑剔。她会很快跟人亲近吗?
对方
Usually, yes—unless you ignore her. Then she sulks like a tiny landlord.一般会——除非你冷落她。那她就会像个小房东一样闹别扭。
Lin
That actually sounds perfect. I'm basically looking for a roommate with better boundaries.那听起来太合适了。我基本就是想找个边界感更强的室友。
对方
In that case, Mabel's your match—she already acts like she's collecting rent.那她就很适合你——梅布尔早就像在收房租了。
