Connie : Hi, Jake. I'm fine. This sandwich is too big to finish. Would you like half? 嗨， 杰克。我挺好。这个三明治太大了， 我吃不了， 你想来一半吗？

Connie : Too bad I'm working on a story about hotels. I'm too busy to help you with this farm story. 不幸的是， 我正在忙一个有关宾馆的新闻。我太忙了， 不能帮你做农场的新闻了。

Jake: It isn't too late to talk to Maria. If it's OK with her, would you like to work on the farm story? 现在和玛丽亚说还不晚。如果她同意， 你愿意做这个农村新闻吗？

Connie : The story isn't big enough to have two reporters working on it, Jake. 杰克， 这个题材没有大到得两个人一起做的地步。

Jake: But it sounds perfect for you, Connie. 但是听起来你很适合做这个新闻， 康妮。
