Part 4 A Fire in the House 房子着火了

Dialogue Script 1  对话原文 1

(Tom is installing the last smoke detector when the alarm goes off in Tom's room)
Jack: Just my luck. I'm almost finished, but it looks like the one in Tom's room is broken.
Lisa: What, Daddy? I can't hear you.
Jack: I think the one in Tom's room is broken. Can you go check and make sure there's no fire?
Lisa: OK. Hold on a second. (walks out and then runs back in) Fire! Fire! Fire!
Jack: Oh my god! How could he be so crazy? Now where did I put that fire extinguisher?

讲解：

1. 对话中，Tom正在安装最后一个烟雾探测器，这时Tom房间里的警报器响了起来，Jack觉得真倒霉，刚要装好一个，Tom房间里的又坏了，他说，Just my luck. 这句话表示“我就这么倒霉！”。字面上看是“这是我的运气”。但隐含的意思是“这就是我所能有的运气了”，在很倒霉的情况下的确可以用来自嘲一番。比如说，---Just my luck. The police are pulling us over. ---What do you expect? ---You were way over the speed limit. ---真倒霉，警察要我们靠边停。---你还想怎样？你超速很多了。

2. 警报器的声音太大了，Lisa都听不见Jack在说什么。Jack喊着让她去Tom的房间看看，是不是真的失火了。Lisa跑回来大喊，真的失火了。Jack也吓了一跳，赶紧去找灭火器。
