Robbie和Alexandra爭取時間,把小狗Gemma帶到了ASPCA動物收容所。在 Linda Aborn的辦公室里,Robbie得知了如在48小時內找不到狗主人,他可以申請領養Gemma.
Linda: Your name?
Robbie: Robbie Stewart. And this is Alexandra Pappas. Linda: Your name will do, Mr. Stewart. Your address?
Robbie: 46 Linden Street, Riverdale. Linda: Where did you find the dog?
Alexandra: She found us. Linda: You tried calling the number on the collar?
Robbie: Yes, but the number's no longer in service. Linda: And there's no address on the dog tag?
Alexandra: There's no other information. Linda: No ID number. Without that, it's hard. Alexandra: You will try to find the dog's owner. Linda: Oh, we'll try, believe me. Robbie: And if you don't?
Linda: Yes?
Robbie: If you don't…can I… can I adopt the dog?
Linda: Why, yes. If the owners don't claim the dog in forty-eight hours, then you can apply for adoption. Robbie: How do I do that?
Alexandra: You really want to?
Robbie: Yes, I'm serious. If no one comes to claim Gemma, I'd like to adopt her. Linda: It's not difficult.
「語言點精講」
1. Your name will do.有你的名字就可以了。
不及物動詞 do在這里表示“夠了,能行”。
2. No ID number. Without that, it's hard.沒有登記號碼。沒有的話,可難找啊。
ID: identification. 識別證,身份證的縮寫形式。
3. You will try to find the dog's owner.你會盡力找到狗的主人的。
注意這里Alexandra重讀了“will”。will重讀時不只表示未來,而且帶有較強的感情色彩,表示較強的意愿或承擔做某事,有時也表示固執、不聽勸阻。
4. If the owners don't claim the dog in forty-eight hours, then you can apply for adoption.如果狗的主人在48小時內不來認領,那么你就可以申請領養了。
claim: 認領,要求(應得的權利)。
apply for: 申請,請求。
5. How do I do that?
我該怎么(申請領養她)呢?
這個句子可以用來詢問事情的辦理過程、處理程序。第一個do在此與can和should意思相同。
6. I'm serious.我是認真的。還可以說: I mean business.或者I mean what I say.
