地道美语听力播客882：犹豫不决

Delaying Making a Decision

犹豫不决

Thomas: You’ve hemmed and hawed for weeks. It’s time to make a decision.

托马斯：你已经支支吾吾几周了。是时候该做决定了。

Eugenia: I know, but I need to sleep on it. This is a very big decision.

尤金伲亚：我知道，但是考虑一晚上。这是一个非常重大的决定。

Thomas: You’ve dragged your feet for far too long. Are you having second thoughts?

托马斯：你考虑的时间够长了。你还要再想想?

Eugenia: No, no second thoughts. I just want to be absolutely sure I’m making the right choice. I’m on the fence between two options. We’ll have to live with this decision for years.

尤金伲亚：不，不是。我就是想保证我做的决定是正确的。但是我在这两个决定之间犹豫。这个决定将伴随我很多年。

Thomas: I thought you’d already made a tentative decision days ago.

托马斯：我认为几天之前你已经做了一个初步的决定了。

Eugenia: No, no, no. In my mind, the jury is still out.

尤金伲亚:不不!在我心中，莫衷一是。

Thomas: You can’t leave everyone hanging.

托马斯：你不能所有的事情都悬而未解。

Eugenia: I know that, but how can I choose if I’m not 100% positive about either option.

尤金伲亚：我知道，但是我怎么能选择我没有百分百确定的选择呢。

Thomas: I understand that, but it’s now down to the wire. You’ve got to bite the bullet and decide.

托马斯：这我理解，现在已经是最后关头了。你必须咬紧牙关做出决定了。

Eugenia: I know. If only I had a few more days to think about it…

尤金伲亚：要是我再有几天可以考虑...

Thomas: Too late. They’re here.

托马斯：太晚了!时间到了。

Eugenia: The painters are here?

尤金伲亚:油漆工来啦?

Thomas: Yes. So will this be a blue or green house?

托马斯：对。所以到底是蓝房子还是绿房子?

Eugenia: How about stripes?

尤金伲亚：条纹怎么样?
