New Guy in Town

Oh, I don’t know if you heard, but someone moved into that old house down the road.

哦，不知道你听说了没，有人搬进了路那头的那栋老房子。

Yeah, I know. I met the owner of the house yesterday as he was moving in. His name is Armand.

嗯，我知道。昨天他搬进来的时候我碰见房东了，他叫阿曼德。

Really? What’s he like? You have to fill me in.

真的吗？他这人怎么样？你得跟我好好说说。

Actually, he’s a bit strange. I don’t know... I’ve just got a bad feeling about him.

其实吧，他有点怪。我也说不上来……就是对他有种不好的感觉。

Really? Why?

真的？为什么？

Well, yesterday I brought over a housewarming gift, but Armand started acting really weird, and then he practically kicked me out! I tried to, sort of, peek into his house, but everything was so dark inside that I couldn’t really get a good look. The whole thing really creep me out.

唉，昨天我带了份乔迁礼物过去，可阿曼德突然变得特别奇怪，然后几乎把我赶出来了！我试着往他屋里瞄了一眼，但里面黑漆漆的，根本看不清。整件事真让我毛骨悚然。

Well, you’ll never guess what I saw this morning. A delivery truck pulled into his driveway, and it dropped off a long, rectangular box. It almost looked like a coffin!

那你绝对猜不到我今天早上看见了什么。一辆送货卡车开进他家车道，卸下了一个又长又方的箱子，看着简直像口棺材！

You see! Why would he...

你看吧！他为什么要……

Hello ladies...

两位女士好……

Ah, Armand! You scared the heck out of me! This is my friend Doris.

啊，阿曼德！你吓死我了！这是我朋友多丽丝。

A pleasure to meet you... If you are not doing anything tonight, I would like to have you both for dinner. I mean... I would like to have you both over for dinner.

很高兴认识你们……如果今晚两位没事的话，我想请你们共进晚餐。我是说……我想请你们来家里吃晚饭。
