No, not yet. I guess something came up?He’ll call soon enough to let us know what’s going on. He’s good that way.

沒有，還沒露面。我猜肯定發生什么事了。他應該會打電話告訴我們的。要是那樣就好了。

Last week his sister was admitted to the hospital.

上星期他姐姐住院了。

Tony：

What happened?

怎么回事啊?

She was in a serious car accident. She was hurt pretty badly. They thought she was going to die.

他姐姐出了車禍，傷得很嚴重。他們都覺得她快不行了。

Tony：

How is she now?

那她現在怎么樣?

Mary：

She fell into a coma?... The doctors aren’t too hopeful. But I hope they’re wrong.

她已經昏迷了。醫生覺得沒有太大希望了。不過我希望他們的判斷是錯的。

Tony：

Poor? Alan. He’s going nuts. His sister is all he has left; his parents died last year.

可憐的艾倫。他都快要發瘋了。他姐姐可是他惟一的親人了，他父母去年剛去世。

Mary：

Yes, he has been through a lot in the last year. I hope his luck changes soon. Maybe his sister will pull through?.

是啊，他去年經歷得太多了。我希望他能時來運轉。也許他姐姐能挺過來呢。
