1.My wife complains that her clothes are so old, they were all made in Australia.我妻子对我抱怨说自己没有新衣服,她的衣服都还是澳洲造的。(澳大利亚市面上的衣服基本都是Made in China的,要不也是别国生产的。大概10年前有澳洲产的,渐渐越来越少,现在很少看到了。)2.The pastor(牧师) decides to use one rich parishioner(教区居民) to set an example. "John," he says, " you're a successful businessman, surely you could contribute more to the building fund."(礼拜以后是教堂募捐的时间)牧师打算用教区里的一个富人做榜样。“约翰”,他说,“你是一个成功的商人,你一定能够比别人为筹建教堂贡献更多。”John replies, " But my mother is in a nursing home, my daughter just lost her job, and my son is starting university...If I can say no to them, I can say no to you too."约翰回答说,“但是我的母亲住在养老院(政府为没有收入的老年人办的,不需要费用),我女儿刚失业(在澳大利亚,失业政府给失业补助,足够生活),我儿子刚开始上大学(在澳大利亚,大学费用可以贷款,在你将来收入达到一定水平以后才需要还)...如果我可以不给他们一分钱,我也同样可以一分钱不给你。”
