从The Gate House 抄来几句，不知道理解得对否或太罗嗦，请各位老师指正！

I really didn't owe Susan any explanation, but to set the record straight, I thought I should say something-but this had caught me  off guard, and I blurted, "She had too much to drink...我真没有欠Susan任何解释，但要把记录弄清楚，我想我应该说点什么的，但这会让我手足无措，我随口说：。。。

Well, having taken the initiative by making this call, I wasn't going to be blown off that easily, so I said, "I 'm coming by now with an envelope for you.  但这个电话我蓄谋已久，想摆脱我也没那么容易，所以我说 ：“我现在就带上你那个文件上你那儿去”

As I approached the house, I noticed that the previous owners, to whom Susan had sold the house, had marked the boundaries of their property by planting lines of hedgerows around the ten-acre enclave. 正当我朝那房子走去时，我注意到经Susan手买下我们那个房子的前房主在那块10亩飞地上插了篱笆，划分了楚河汉界。
