对 话

Amy：I'd like to go see a movie, but we're broke.

爱咪：我想去看电影，可是我们一毛钱也没有。

Vincent：Well, not exactly. I have a bit of money I've been saving under my bed.

文森：呃，并不尽然。我还有一点钱，我一直把这些钱藏在床底下。

Amy：Vincent! You've been squirreling money away this whole time?

爱咪：文森！你一直都把钱偷藏起来吗？

Vincent：Yep.

文森：对啊。

Amy：But what about when we needed to buy a new fridge? Or when we had to pay the phone bill?

爱咪：那之前我们需要买新冰箱的时候咧？还有我们得缴电话费的时候？

Vincent：I didn't want to use the money for something boring like that.

文森：我不想把钱花在无聊的事物上。

Amy：I don't know whether to be angry or happy.

爱咪：我真不知道该生气还是高兴。

Vincent：Well, then let's go see an action movie and then a comedy.

文森：呃，那咱们先去看部动作片，再去看部喜剧。

[多学一点点]

★Squirrel Something Away

squirrel是"松鼠"，在此作动词，表示"把?贮藏起来"。松鼠为了度寒冬，会不停找食物，并将食物搬回洞里藏起来。因此，squirrel something away 便引申为"贮藏某物"。

★go (and) see a movie 去看场电影

★broke a.破产的

★go broke破产了（= go bankrupt）

例: The company went broke last month.（该公司上个月破产了。）
