找保姆.doc SALLY: Listen, Karen, I need your help. I don't know anyone here yet. KAREN: I'm glad to help you. What's wrong? SALLY: My mother-in-law just went into the hospital in L.A. Hank and I will be flying there tonight. KAREN: I'm sorry to hear it. What's wrong with her? SALLY: Doctors aren't sure yet. But the real problem is Suzy. She has a bad cold, and we don't want to take her with us. But we don't know who can stay with her. KAREN: You need a babysitter. SALLY: Yes, I'd ask Jill, the girl I've had before, but I need someone overnight. Maybe even for two nights. KAREN: I could have Suzy stay at my place. SALLY: I don't want to do that to you, Karen. KAREN: Why not? SALLY: Your own kids would get Suzy's cold. I think it would be better to have a good babysitter here. But I don't know who to ask. I need someone more mature than Jill. It might even be for two or three days. KAREN: I know who we can ask. There is a girl I know, Sara Ralston. She is 17, and she will usually take this kind of job. I know her from my church, and I trust her completely. SALLY: I'd like to talk with her. This is short notice, I know. But Hank and I are leaving tonight. KAREN: I'll get you her number. I hope she can do it. She is very responsible. SALLY: I'm glad you know someone. I knew you would be the best person to ask about this. I don't want to insult Jill or her mother. I think Jill maybe could do it. But I'd rather have someone a little older. KAREN: I'll go home and get Sara's number. I'll call her first myself. SALLY: Great. Then call me and let me know if she's free. 莎莉:听着,凯伦，我需要你的帮忙。在这里我还不认识人。 凯伦:我很乐意帮你，怎么了, 莎莉:我婆婆刚刚在洛杉矶住院了。 今晚汉克和我要飞过去那里。 凯伦:我感到很难过，她怎么了, 莎莉:医生还不确定。 但是问题是苏丝，她得了重感冒， 我们不想带她一起去。可是不知道谁可以陪她。 凯伦:你需要一个临时保姆。 莎莉:是的，我会找吉儿，以前曾经找过的女孩，但是我需要能过夜的人。 也许两个晚上。 凯伦:苏丝可以待在我家。 莎莉:凯伦，我不想麻烦你。 凯伦:为什么, 莎莉:你自己的孩子会被苏丝传染感冒。 找个临时保姆在这里比较好，可是我不知道找谁。 我需要比吉儿成熟一点的，可能要两三天。 凯伦:我知道可以找谁，我认识一个女孩叫莎拉?瑞斯顿。 她十七岁，经常做这种差事。 我在教会认识她的，而且我完全信任她。 莎莉:我想跟她谈谈。 我知道这很突然，但是汉克和我今晚就要离开了。 凯伦:我给你她的电话，希望她能帮忙，她很有责任感的。 莎莉:很高兴你认识人，我就知道这种事找你就对了。 我不是要批评吉儿或是她妈妈。吉儿可能做得来， 但是我比较想找年纪大一点的。 凯伦:我回家找莎拉的电话，我先打给她。 莎莉:好的。然后打电话给我看看她是不是有空。
