地道美语听力播客751: 买卖传家宝（双语）

Anne: Where are you going with that? 
安妮：你要把那个弄到哪儿？
Ivan: I’m taking this clock to an antique dealer. Rather than having it gather dust on the mantelpiece, I thought I’d get it appraised and maybe sell it. 
伊万：我要拿着这个钟表到古玩商那儿，而不是让它放在壁炉台上落满灰尘。我会让人估价，也许会卖掉。
Anne: You can’t sell that! It belonged to our grandfather. It’s a family heirloom. 
安妮：你不能卖掉那个钟表！这是我们爷爷的东西，是个传家宝。
Ivan: It’s not a family heirloom. It’s just a clock that Grandpa had in his house. He didn’t mean for it to be passed down from one generation to another. I don’t even know if it’s valuable or collectable. These clocks could be a dime a dozen. 
伊万：它不是传家宝，只不过是爷爷家里的一个钟表而已。他没有说要让这个表一代一代的传下去。我都不知道它是否有价值或者能够收藏。这样的表多的是，不值钱。
Anne: But it’s valuable to me. It has sentimental value. As a little girl, I remember visiting Grandpa and seeing that clock on his shelf. If I had inherited it, I know I wouldn’t be looking to sell it to make a quick buck.
安妮：但是对我来说很有价值，有情感价值。我还是小女孩儿时，我记得探望爷爷，看到这个表在他架子上放着。如果我能继承这个表，我不会为了赚一笔钱就卖掉它。
Ivan: I’m not looking to make a quick buck, but what if Grandpa left it to me because he knew I would be able to put the money that it would fetch to good use? 
伊万：我不是想用来赚一笔钱，但是倘若爷爷知道我能把钱用在正确的地方，所以把它留给我呢？
Anne: Well, are you? Are you going to put the proceeds to good use? 
安妮：好吧，你是那样的吗？你打算把钱善加利用？
Ivan: Sure, of course I am. 
伊万：当然。
Anne: Are you going to tell me what you’re spending it on? 
安妮：你能告诉我你打算把钱花在哪儿吗？
Ivan: Not on your life! 
伊万：绝对不行！
