　　Jeff: How are you today Joan?

　　杰夫：你今天过得怎么样，琼?

　　Joan: Terrible. I have a new desk and a new computer.

　　琼：糟糕透了。我有了一张新桌子和一台新电脑。

　　Jeff: Why is that bad? Anytime I get something new I am very excited.

　　杰夫：那有什么不好呢?每次有新东西的时候我都很激动。

　　Joan: But now I have to spend half of the day rearranging my desk and my computer so that they are the same as my old ones.

　　琼：可现在我得花半天的时间来重新整理我的桌子和电脑，好让它们和原来的一样。

　　Jeff: I hate that part of change as well, but you only have to do it once.

　　杰夫：我也讨厌变动的这个方面，不过你只需要做一次。

　　Joan: Things are always changing in this place. I can never keep up with all of the changes.

　　琼：这个地方事物总在发生变化。我从来都跟不上所有这些变动。

　　Jeff: I don't worry about change unless it directly affects me.

　　杰夫：我不会去发愁变动，除非它直接影响到我。

　　Joan: That's a good idea! Only worry about what you have to!

　　琼：那是个好主意!只操心你需要做的事情!

　　Jeff: For once it's me giving you advice and not the other way around!

　　杰夫：这次是我给你的建议，往常正好反过来!
