口语连载02:Bob returns home with bad news

Bob tells his wife Susan that he lost his job. Susan suggests that he start his own business.

  Susan: What's the matter, dear?

  Bob: Susan, I got canned today at work.

  Susan: But Bob, you were Peter's right-hand man!

  Bob: Yes, and he stabbed me in the back.

  Susan: Keep your chin up. Maybe he'll change his mind and take you back.

  Bob: When pigs fly! Once he makes up his mind, he never changes it. Besides, I told him off.

  Susan: Look on the bright side: you won't have to set eyes on Peter ever again.

  Bob: Thank goodness for that!

  Susan: Hang in there. I'm sure you won't be out of work for long

  Bob: In the meantime, we'll have to live from hand to mouth.

  Susan: Don't get too stressed out, Bob. We'll make ends meet.

  Bob: I can always get a job at McDonald's as a last resort.

  Susan: I don't think they're hiring right now.

  Bob: If worse comes to worst, we can sell our home and move into a tent.

  Susan: Let's think big! Maybe you can start your own business.

  Bob: Easier said than done!
