Unit 1 Have A Drink
第01单元 喝一杯
A man is sitting at the bar. He looks sad as he stares into his glass. He has been looking at his drink for a long time, when a big burly man walks up behind him and says:
有个男子坐在酒吧里，盯着自己的酒杯，一副伤心模样。他望着自己酒杯好一阵子，有个魁梧的家伙走到他的身后说：
“Well, if you don’t drink it, I will.” And with that he finishes the man’s drink in one gulp.
“既然你不喝，就给我喝好了。”他说完就把男子的酒一饮而尽了。
The man at the bar starts to cry. The bigger man says, “Hey, I’ll buy you another drink. Don’t worry.”
酒吧这名男子哭了起来，大块头说：“嘿，我再请你喝一杯就是了，不需要这样嘛。”
“No, it’s not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I ’m late to my office. My boss fires me.”
“不是啦，事情不是这样的。今天是我一生中最倒霉的一天，一开始是睡过头上班迟到，结果被老板炒鱿鱼。”
“When I leave the building to go to my car. I found out it was stolen. I get a cab to return home. I leave home and come to this bar. And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison.”
“等我离开办公大楼去开车时，发现车被偷了，警察却说他们无能为力，我只好打的回家。我离开家来到这间酒吧，正想着要不要结束生命时，你却突然出现把我的毒酒给喝了。”
