MR THORNDYKE: Now, what would you like me to do?

桑代克先生：现在，你想让我做什么呢？

EDITH: Firstly and most urgently is in the kitchen.

伊迪斯：首先最紧要的在厨房。

With all the weather damage, the glass in the door has cracked and I'd need that fixing...

因为糟糕的天气，门上的玻璃裂了需要修理……

MR THORNDYKE: I presume you mean replacing?

桑代克先生：我猜你的意思是换一块？

EDITH: Oh, yes. And as soon as possible …

伊迪斯：哦是的。越快越好……

MR THORNDYKE: What I'll do is come round tomorrow morning and do that immediately.

桑代克先生：那我会这么做，明天一早过来，马上把这个事情处理了。

EDITH: Thank you so much.

伊迪斯：非常感谢。

The other things aren't so urgent but ...

其他的事情没有这么紧急，但是……

MR THORNDYKE: Now, I'll make a note of everything you want doing.

桑代克先生：现在，我来记一下你每件需要做的事。

EDITH: Well, in the kitchen I'd like some painting doing.

伊迪斯：嗯，在厨房里，我想粉刷一下。

MR THORNDYKE: All the kitchen walls?

桑代克先生：厨房所有的墙吗？

EDITH: Just the area over the cooker. It's very greasy …

伊迪斯：只是灶台上方的区域。很油腻……

MR THORNDYKE: Right ... it does tend to get that way!

桑代克先生：好的，灶台上方很容易积存油污了。

EDITH: Yes!

伊迪斯：是的。

MR THORNDYKE: Well, if you want a proper job done what I'd need to do is strip the old paint and plaster it about a week before I paint it.

桑代克先生：那么，如果你想让工程完成的漂亮，我需要把原先的油漆去掉，然后在我刷漆之前大概一周给这片墙刷一遍石膏。

EDITH: Of course. Now, May tells me you also do work in the garden.

伊迪斯：当然。还有，梅告诉我你也做花园里的活。

MR THORNDYKE: That's right.

桑代克先生：是的。

EDITH: Well, I'd like you to replace a fence.

伊迪斯：那么，我想让你换一块篱笆。

MR THORNDYKE: Just one?

桑代克先生：只要一块？

EDITH: Yes, at the far end.

伊迪斯：是的，在最远那头。

MR THORNDYKE: Fine. Shouldn't be a problem.

桑代克先生：好的。应该没有问题。

EDITH: And that's the lot.

伊迪斯：就是这些。

MR THORNDYKE: Fine. Yeah, as I say I can come round tomorrow morning to look over things with you.

桑代克先生：好的。就像我说的，我明天上午会过来来和你查看一遍这些东西。

EDITH: That's great, thank you.

伊迪斯：太好了。谢谢你。

MR THORNDYKE: So, I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow at ...

桑代克先生：期待明天和你见面……
