STEVE: Ah! No! Damn it!
DEREK: It's a blackout. Now I can't see Seinfeld.
STEVE: So what? I just lost one hour's worth of work.
DEREK: Really? How could you do that?
Don't you save every couple minutes? 
STEVE: No, I didn't save this time.
Damn it! And I'm sick of writing this paper. Now I have to write it all over again too.
DEREK: I've had that problem too many times. So I learned to save.
When I'm writing something, I save every three sentences or so.
I don't want to lose anything.
STEVE: I hate computers. Sometimes I think they cause more trouble than they're worth.
DEREK: What are we going to do now?
STEVE: I don't know. I feel like going out.
DEREK: I wonder how much of the city is down. 
STEVE: It doesn't matter. I still can go out and buy a beer.
DEREK: Maybe. But if there's a blackout, probably the pubs are closed.
And besides, I know you have a political science exam tomorrow.
I thought you had a lot of reading to do.
STEVE: Yes, that's true. Damn!
I just lost half my paper, and now I can't even do my homework.
This is a bad time for this to happen.
DEREK: I have a flashlight in my closet. If you want to use that to read, you can. 
STEVE: Thanks. I think I will try. Where are you going?
DEREK: I like your idea of getting a beer. I think I'll go out myself.
STEVE: Maybe we can trade.
Why don't you stay here and read for my exam, and I'll go drink beer? 
DEREK: No, it just won't work.
If I read for your exam, you won't know the answers tomorrow. I will.
STEVE: So? You can go to the class for me.
Just write my name on the exam book and take the exam. Why not?
DEREK: How many students are in the class?
STEVE: About fourteen.
DEREK: So it won't work, old buddy. They'll see that I'm not you. Sorry.
STEVE: Damn!
史提夫：啊！不！该死！
戴瑞克：这是停电，现在我看不到喜剧片《圣斐德》了。
史提夫：那又怎样？我刚刚一小时都白做工了。
戴瑞克：真的啊？怎么会那样？
你不是每分钟都存档吗？
史提夫：这次我没存档。
该死！我写这篇报告已经很厌烦了，现在还要再重新写一次。
戴瑞克：这个问题我遇过很多次，所以我学会了要存档。
我写东西的时后，大概三句就存一次档。
我才不想丢掉任何东西。
史提夫：我痛恨电脑，有时我觉得它们造成的麻烦超过它们的价值。
戴瑞克：现在我们要怎么办？
史提夫：不知道，我想出去走走。
戴瑞克：不晓得这个城市有多少地方都断电。
史提夫：没关系，我还是可以出去买啤酒。
戴瑞克：也许吧。但是如果有灯火管制，可能连酒吧都关了。
另外你明天还有政治学要考，
你还有很多书要念。
史提夫：没错，该死！
我才白白打了一半的报告，现在又不能做功课。
这种事来的真不是时候。
戴瑞克：我柜子里有手电筒，如果你要念书可以使用。
史提夫：谢谢，我会试试看。你要去哪里？
戴瑞克：我喜欢你的主意去喝杯啤酒，我自己去。
史提夫：也许我们可以交换一下。
你待在这里准备我的考试，而我出去喝杯啤酒。
戴瑞克：这样没用的。
如果我替你准备考试，明天你将不会做答，我反而会。
史提夫：那又怎样？你可以代替我去上课，
在考卷上写我的名字，帮我考试，不行吗？
戴瑞克：你们班有几个人？
史提夫：大约十四个。
戴瑞克：老兄，这行不通的。他们会认出我不是你。抱歉。
史提夫：该死！
