A There's someone coming.

他们马上来了。

B It took them four minutes to get here. That was pretty fast.

他们四分钟就到这里，相当快。

A Yes, it's fast. But four minutes is enough to do fifty thousand dollars damage.

是很快，但是四分钟就足以造成五万块的损失。

B I guess the fire wasn't in the tool shed after all.It looks like the back of the house was burning.

我猜一定不是工具室起火。看起来是有东西在房子后面烧。

A I wonder if anyone can call the Rileys about this. Do you know them well?

不知道有没有人可以通知瑞里家的人。你跟他们熟吗？

B Not really.

不是很熟。

A Do you know where they're vacationing?

你知道他们去哪里度假吗？

B I think they went to Mexico, but I'm not sure.It's a bad thing to return home to.They'll come home from their trip, and they'll see half their house burned.

他们去墨西哥，但是我不确定。要是回来也真扫兴。他们要中途结束旅行回来，并且看到房子被烧掉一半。

A Yes, but at least this way no one gets hurt.It's better to have a fire in your house when you're not home. Don't you think?

没错，但是至少这样没有人受伤。失火时最好没有人在家，不是吗？

B Yes, I suppose. It's a dangerous thing if a fire starts when people are sleeping.

我想是的。如果正在睡觉时失火，这是很危险的
