杰夫：他又懒又邋遢还酗酒。他不锻炼，也不帮我分担房租。
Todd: Ooh, so he lives here and he doesn't give you any money?
托德：哦，那他住在这里可是没有付你房租吗？
Jeff: Well, yeah, he doesn't give me any money. The money's not so bad, though, it's just that he's lazy and he doesn't do much all day.
杰夫：对，他并没有付我钱。其实房租还不是最糟糕的，主要是他太懒了，一整天都不怎么动。
Todd: That's got to be pretty annoying.
托德：那真是很烦人。

杰夫：不会，他是个聪明人。他知道，他知道情况，这些他都知道，所以我想我不会让他搬出去，因为我并不介意他住在这里，不过我会努力帮他塑造形象。
Todd: Oh, so you're just going to try to change him so he becomes a better roommate?
托德：所以你要试图去改变他，使他成为更好的室友？

杰夫：我会去做女性做的事情，帮他制定一份更好的时间表，让他去锻炼、合理饮食、少吸烟、少喝酒。
Todd: Well, what is his schedule?
托德：那他现在的生活是什么样的？
Jeff: Ah, his schedule is, he's like a night owl, he stays up most of the night drinking, and then he sleeps most of the day recovering, and then when he gets up he has a hangover. He's a bit sluggish and slow, so it's not a healthy lifestyle.
杰夫：他的日常安排，他是个夜猫子，他晚上经常熬夜，大部分时间都在喝酒，他白天睡觉来恢复精神，起床的时候会有宿醉的感觉。他行动有些缓慢，这是不健康的生活方式。
Todd: Yeah, it doesn't sound like it. Good luck.
托德：对，听上去并不健康。祝你好运。
Jeff: No problem.
杰夫：谢谢。
