43. Leaving for Work 去上班

            A: Joe, have you seen my umbrella? My rubbers are here in the hall
            closet¹, but the umbrella's disappeared.
            B: Don't ask me. I wouldn't be caught dead with an umbrella.
            A: Well, it isn't here, and a raincoat's too hot. Maybe I left it on
            campus². I'll just borrow your coat. Don't work too hard. Goodbye.
            B: Hey, Bob. What'll I wear to work? Hey, Ahhh, he's gone. Well,
            I'll have another cup of coffee. Maybe the sun'll come out.

            Notes
            Rubbers 套鞋
            I wouldn't be caught dead with an umbrella-I don't like to be seen
            with an umbrella(这是一句习惯用语，be caught dead with的意思是：被人发现有…)

            A：乔，你看见我的雨伞了吗？ 我的套鞋在客厅的壁橱里，但雨伞不见了。
            B：别问我。 我从不愿别人看到我手里拿着一把伞。
            A：嗯，可是这里还是没有， 穿雨衣又太热。也许我忘在校园里了。我就借你的雨衣吧。别工作得那么卖力。 再见。
            B：嗨，我穿什么去上班？ 嗨， 唉唉，他走了。好吧，我再来一杯咖啡，也许太阳就要出来
