Steve: Yes, they've won every game they've played this month – they're playing really well.
(Text message sound)
Helen: Oh, wait a minute. I've got a text message from my husband.
Steve: What's he saying – have you won the lottery again? Are you still on a roll?
(Sound effect of car braking suddenly)
Helen: No... actually, he's just had his bike stolen 不会吧,他的自行车被偷了? and earlier, he lost his car keys 怎么车钥匙也丢了呢!
Steve: Oh dear, that's bad luck! Unlike you, he's definitely not on a roll.
真是倒霉。和你不同,他运气不好。
Helen: No... I'd better go and help him look for those keys. Bye!
不……我得去帮他找钥匙,再见。
Steve: Bye!
