soony--I don"t know.Why?
laurance--Well,I thought we could go out for dinner and then go to a movie afterward.

laurance--Well,do that,and then call me at the office if you have any luck.
soony--Okay,but don"t get your hopes too high.It"s hard to find a good baby-sitter these days.
注解:
1)baby-sitter:指臨時為人照看孩子的人。美國很多女中學生、大學生課余替人看孩子,掙些零花錢!
2)sit during the week = baby-sit on weekdays
3)make an exception:做例外處理。make no exception:概部例外。
4)if you have any luck = if you are successful;也可直譯為“如果你有運氣能辦成的話”
