I don't buy that. 我不接受

分类: 英语口语 

今天Larry和Li Hua一起听了有关环境保护的讲座,但对一些理论,Larry并不接受。

(college hallway noise)

LH: 哎,Larry, 听了这个讲座,我觉得"全球变暖问题"真挺让人担心的。

LL: I don't know, Li Hua... I just don't buy the theory that global warming is caused by humans. There is a lot we just don't know.

LH: 你说你不买什么? 哎,没人想卖你东西啊?更多信息请访问:http://www.engbus.cn/

LL: I said that I don't buy that theory. That mean's I don't accept it as completely true.

LH: 噢,原来I don't buy the theory就是"我不接受这种说法"。哎,那不就是我们中文里说的"我不买这一套"吗?得了得了,我没时间跟你争论。哎,你听说了吗,我们今年的学费要涨百分之10呢!学校说他们计划要翻修图书馆。

LL: What? That's ridiculous. I don't buy that excuse. They raised tuition last year by 5% to expand the stadium. I don't buy that. 我不接受

LH: 就是嘛,去年学校为了扩建体育馆已经把学费增加了百分之5了。Larry, 那你是不是能够再用I don't buy it 给我举一个和学校没有关系的例子呢?

LL: OK. You know my friend Angela? She's often late for class, and she always has different excuses. So finally one day, Professor Johnson said to her, "I don't buy your excuses. I think you are just not self-disciplined enough!"

LH: 对,你那个朋友Angela,她老是迟到,而且总有借口。可是我不知道Johnson教授这么厉害,居然还公开说不相信她的话,还批评她是自己要求不严格。哎哟,那多不好意思呀。
