Lesson 68

I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me.
我穿过马路以避开他，但他看见了我，并朝我跑了过来。
It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him.
假装没看见他是没用的，所以我向他挥了挥手。
I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes.

He never has anything to do.
他从来无事可做。
No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you.
无论你有多忙，他总是坚持要和你一起去。
I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.

'Hello, Nigel,' I said.
“你好，奈杰尔，”我说。
Fancy meeting you here!
真想不到会在这里遇见你！
'Hi, Elizabeth,' Nigel answered.
“嗨，伊丽莎白，”奈杰尔回答道。
I was just wondering how to spend the morning — until I saw you.
我当时只是在想如何度过这个上午——直到我看见了你。
You're not busy doing anything, are you?
你现在不忙吧？
'No, not at all,' I answered.
“不，一点也不，”我回答道。
I'm going to...
我打算...
'Would you mind my coming with you?' he asked, before I had finished speaking.
“你介意我陪你一起去吗？”还没等我说完，他就问道。
'Not at all,' I lied, 'but I'm going to the dentist.'
“一点也不，”我撒了谎，“但我正要去牙医诊所。”
'Then I'll come with you,' he answered.
“那么我会和你一起去，”他回答道。
There's always plenty to read in the waiting room!
