Jeff: Well I'm glad you're laid back like me. But tell me, do you have any pet-peeves?

　　Steve: Actually, yes. I really hate living with mooches. They always eat all of your food and ask you to pay for everything.

　　Jeff: I know! Mooches really get on my nerves. My last roommate was a big mooch. Every time we went out to a restaurant, when the bill came he would always say he didn't have any money and ask me to lend him some. And he never paid me back!

　　Steve: I really think it's important for each roommate to pull his weight around the house. It's really unfair if only one of the roommates is doing all the work.

　　Jeff: Exactly. We each need to pull our weight by cleaning the dishes, taking out the garbage and paying the bills. I think we would be good roommates. Do you want to move in?

　　Steve: Sounds great!

　　哈，pet peeve就是最让受不了的事。我也受不了mooches, 这些小气鬼！对了，他们还说有些室友don't pull their weight，这是什么意思？

　　Professor: People who don't pull their weight are those who don't do their share in a common task. If you had a roommate who doesn't pull his weight around the house, you would have to do all the housework.

　　Steve和Jeff性格简直就是一个模子里刻出来的，一定能成为好室友。

　　这次的美语三级跳就播送到这里。
