Rupi: I don’t think I’m cut out for this. How am I supposed to chaperone a class of students on a field trip?
鲁比：我觉得我不适合这份工作。我该如何陪一群学生去校外旅行呢？
Antonia: I thought you were gung-ho about being a chaperon for Nadia and the rest of her class on their trip to the children’s museum. That’s why you volunteered.
安东尼娅：我以为你对陪伴纳迪亚和她的同学们前往儿童博物馆这件事很热心呢。这也是你申请志愿者的原因。
Rupi: I was, but then I started reading this material the school sent me to prepare for the trip. I have so many duties.
鲁比：我确实很热心，但是后来我读了学校发来的准备这次旅行的材料。我的责任太多了。
Antonia: Like what?
安东尼娅：比如说呢？
Rupi: I’m supposed to supervise the children all the time, escorting them to the restrooms and making sure they don’t misbehave. I don’t know what to do if the kids get out of hand.
鲁比：我要全程照看孩子们，护送他们上厕所，确保他们不会出任何差错。如果孩子们不听话，那我该怎么办。
Antonia: It’s not an overnight trip, just a morning at the museum.
安东尼娅：这又不是过夜旅行，只是在博物馆度过一上午。
Rupi: I know, but I’m responsible for their safety. What if I have to give first aid?
鲁比：我知道，但我得为他们的安全负责。如果需要急救，我该怎么做？
Antonia: The teacher will be there. He’ll know what to do in a real emergency.
安东尼娅：会有老师随行的。他会处理紧急情况的。
Rupi: But how am I supposed to keep track of so many kids?
鲁比：可是我怎么跟这么多孩子保持联系？
Antonia: Not all of the students are going on the trip, just the ones with signed permission slips.
安东尼娅：不是所有学生都参加这次旅行，只有签署同意书的学生才会去。
Rupi: Even so, it’s a big responsibility. There are so many things that can go wrong.
鲁比：即便如此，这也是一项艰巨的任务。随时都有可能出岔子。
Antonia: Do you want me to go in your place?
安东尼娅：你想要我代替你去吗？
Rupi: Yes! No, I already told Nadia I’ll be going and she’s really excited. I don't want to disappoint her.
鲁比：好呀！不行，我已经告诉纳迪亚要陪她去了，她很兴奋。我不想让她失望。
Antonia: You’ll be absolutely fine. I’m sure it won’t be like last time.
安东尼娅：你绝对没问题的。我相信你不会像上次那样的。
Rupi: Last time?
鲁比：上一次？
Antonia: Never mind. Forget I mentioned it.
安东尼娅：别介意。就当我没说好了。
