实用英语口语(中高级) 10.Asking Stuart for a loan

MAX:So Stuart, listen ... do you think I could borrow some money?

STUART:Yeah. Are you kidding? Listen man you can ask me anything you want, but ... money? Really? No!

MAX:Come on man. 我会还你的。

STUART:Your family could buy and sell my family five times over. Ask them for money.

MAX:I think that might be the worst thing I've ever heard. I'm supposed to be independent now. I can't.

STUART:You won't. They're your parents.

MAX:Exactly.

STUART:It's, it's not that I won't lend you the money and I mean I would if I could, but I can't. I've been killing myself on this project at work, you know, and I haven't even gotten paid for it. I got a boss that wants to see me fired. Don't you have any savings?

MAX:Enough for lunch ... but not for rent.

STUART:Then why don't you sell your car? That thing is not necessary. You could sell that and pay your rent for years.

MAX:I'm not going to sell my car.

STUART:Well then you're going to have to ask your landlord for an extension.

MAX:Are you kidding me? Have you met this guy? He freaks out if you ask him to change a light bulb.

STUART:I don't know what to tell you Max, I'm not going to give you the money.

MAX:It's no big deal dude, it's just a small little loan.

STUART:It's just that I'm going through a tough time right now, OK?

MAX:All right.

STUART:You'll have to figure it out on your own.

MAX:Thanks for nothing.

STUART:Wow, unbelievable. I'm going inside, man.

MAX:See you.
