听力原文 Transcript
Norman: Hey, neighbor. How’s it going? Shawn: Fine. How about you? Norman: Okay. Uh, by the way, my wife and I are going out of town this weekend, and I was wondering if you could take care of some of our animals while we’re gone. You know our dog, Jaws, don’t you? Shawn: Yeah. My leg still hurts from the last incident . Norman: Hey, he’s just a playful little beast. Shawn: Right. Norman: Hey, he likes to bark a little, and his bark is worse than his bite. Shawn: Oh yeah. Norman: Just feed him a can of dog food a day, and make sure he has plenty of water in his dish. [ Oh. ] And then, take him for a walk around the block. Shawn: Well, how about if I just throw a Frisbee over the fence to give him some exercise? Wouldn’t that work? Norman: Ah, and then, he likes to watch the 3:00 soap opera on Channel 4 [ What? ] . . . and brush his teeth after you give him some doggie treats around 4:00. Shawn: Man, you really pamper your dog. Norman: And then brush his fur [ And? ] for about twenty minutes. He tends to shed this time of year. [ Ah, what? ] And then scratch him around the ears. Otherwise, he feels neglected. Shawn: Is that it? Norman: Well, then there’s Claws. Shawn: Claws? Who’s Claws. Norman: Oh, he’s the cat we adopted from the animal shelter, but he’s a little temperamental . Shawn: What do you mean “temperamental”? Norman: Well, he has mood swings, [ Mood swings? ] but he’s been doing better since he’s been going to the animal therapist. Shawn: A therapist? Norman: So, be sure to feed him a half cup of cat food two times a day, [ What? A therapist . . . ] and don’t forget to put out (on) some soft classical [ Classical? ] music during his nap time at 2:40 p.m. But don’t let him out of the house because he might run away and chase the neighbor’s dog. Shawn: You have some high-maintenance animals. Norman: Not really. And, don’t forget to change the cat litter daily, or he might have an accident on the carpet. [ Oh, great. ] And finally, there’s Buttercup. Shawn: Buttercup? Who’s Buttercu . . . ? I’m afraid to ask. Norman: Ah, she’s a sweetie [ What? ] . . . if you know how to handle her right. [ Oh, great. ] Wait. Let me get her for you. Here you are. Shawn: That’s . . . That’s a snake . . . [ Hold her. ] That’s a big snake with big fangs . Does the snake go to a therapist, too? Norman: Of course not . . . just [an] anger-management class. Shawn: Oh! What? Norman: I’m joking. [ Oh . . . ] Buttercup is a very [ No, I don’t think . . . ] docile creature, and she never bites anyone she likes. If she doesn’t, you’ll know because she’ll start hissing and staring at you . . . kinda [kind of] like what she’s doing now. Shawn: Well, I’m leaving. You must be going out of your mind to think I’m going to watch a zoo full of misunderstood animals. You’d better hire some professional help ’cause I wouldn’t watch them even if you paid me a million dollars.
