189. Janitor Work
189. 看门工作
"Now I don't want to rub you the wrong way, young man, but you didn't put enough rug cleaner on over here.
“现在我不想惹怒你，小伙子，可是你没有用地毯淸洁器把这里弄干净。
I think you’re going to have to run across it again!" Ugh. Tommy hated this new job as a janitor!
我想你得再过一遍！”哎，汤米真恨这份新找的看门人的工作！
He would much rather just run errands for some lawyer or businessman.
他宁愿只给某个律师或者生意人跑腿办事儿。
But he had to run against business majors for those jobs-he didn't stand a chance!
可他得与学商务专业的学生竞争才能获得那些工作——他没有任何希望！
"Aw, Bill. It's running late and I’m feeling pretty run down. Can't we just run it up as done and over and get out of here?" Tommy asked.
“哦，比尔，时间不早了，我觉得很累。我们不能赶快完事离开这里吗？”汤米问。
"Nope. We can't run away from our responsibility. Do it again!"
“不行，我们不能逃离我们的责任。重新做一次吧！”
When the cleaner ran out of power, Tommy thanked God. He had hoped it was running low on gas, and he was right.
清洁器的能量用完，汤米谢天谢地。他曾希望它的汽油快点耗尽，还真让他说着了。
"Aw, we ran the cleaner too hard! I guess I’ll have to get some more gas tomorrow morning before I come back to work,” Tommy said.
“啊，我们使这台机器使得太狠了！我想明早我回来工作之前得多弄点汽油来。”汤米说。
"You lucked out this time, son," Bill said with a frown as he scratched his gray head. "
“你这次运气挺好，孩子，”比尔一边挠着白发一边皱着眉说。
After you get the gas tomorrow, run over and pick up some new mops too, okay?
明天弄到汽油之后，再去找些新拖把来，好吗？
And if you run into Mrs. Wilson at the supply store, tell her that old Bill said hi!"
如果你在供应店碰到威尔逊夫人，告诉她老比尔问她好！”
Bill smiled. "Oh, and then stop by the copy store to run off some new flyers. We need to find some more business!"
比尔笑道。“噢，在复印店停一下，印一些新传单。我们要寻找更多的生意！”
"Sure. No problem. I'll say hi to your girlfriend for you old man!" Tommy replied. He was just glad to be done with work for the night.
“好的，没问题。我会替你老人家向你女朋友问好的！”汤米回答道。他很高兴晚上的活儿干完了。
Now to find his friends and go get a beer!
现在他要去找朋友喝杯啤酒！
