Seth: I thought that was just because he was getting old.

Ash: If only that were true. Someone claiming to be a social worker went to his village. She ate with him, talked with him, helped him buy groceries, acted like she was his friend...

Seth: ...I think I can guess where this is headed.

Ash: My grandpa's eyes are bad, you know? He has trouble seeing the ATM screen. Soon, that special friend started helping him with his finances. Two days later, his life savings vanished, along with his so-called friend.

赛司：我以为是因为他年纪大了的关系。

爱许：真是这样就好了。有个自称社工的人跑去他的村子。她跟他一起吃饭、跟他说话、还帮他买些食品杂货，就像他的朋友一样……

赛司：……我想我可以猜到接下来发生的事了。

爱许：我爷爷的眼睛不好，你知道吧?他看不清楚自动提款机的屏幕。不久，那个很特别的朋友就开始帮他处理财务。两天后，他一生的积蓄就跟他所谓的朋友一起消失无踪了。

重点解说：

★ claim (v.) 自称，声称

★ social worker 社会福利工作者

★ groceries (n.) 食品杂货，固定用复数形

★ head (v.) 向特定方向出发。在此指事情的发展方向

★ finances (n.) 财务情况，固定用复数形

Seth's girlfriend Ash shows up

Ash: Hey there, boys, what are you two talking about?

Milt: Scam artists. Your boyfriend was just about to throw away your future nest egg on some online scam.

Ash: My Sethie wouldn't do something like that, would he? [sits down and cuddles with Seth]

Milt: Seth's lucky he has the two of us to keep him out of trouble.

Ash: Now don't you be mean, Milt. Anyone can be fooled. Didn't I tell you why my grandpa moved back in with us?

赛司的女朋友爱许出现

爱许：嘿，男生们，你们两个在讲什么啊?

米特：谈骗子。你男朋友才刚要把你们未来的积蓄都投入某个网络上的骗局。

爱许：我的小赛司不会做这种事的，对吧?(坐下来搂住赛司)

米特：赛司很幸运有我们两个让他免于受难。

爱许：不要那么刻薄嘛，米特。任何人都可能被骗。我没告诉你为什么我爷爷会搬回来跟我们住吗?

重点解说：

★ nest egg 储蓄金。throw away one's future nest egg on... 指‘把未来的积蓄都投入…’

★ cuddle (v.) 搂抱

★ keep someone out of trouble 让某人免于惹上麻烦

★ mean (a.) 刻薄的
