Lesson 68 Persistent 纠缠不休 【Text】 I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning. Hello, Nigel, I said. Fancy meeting you here! Hi, Elizabeth, Nigel answered. I was just wondering how to spend the morning -- until I saw you. Youre not busy doing anything, are you? No, not at all, I answered. Im going to... Would you mind my coming with you? he asked, before I had finished speaking. Not at all, I lied, but Im going to the dentist. Then Ill come with you, he answered. Theres always plenty to read in the waiting room! 【课文翻译】 我穿过马路以便避开他，但他看到我并朝我跑过来。若再装作没看见他已是没有用了，我只好向他招手。我就怕遇到奈杰尔.戴克斯。他从来都是无事可做，不管你多忙，他总是坚持要跟你去。我得想办法不让他整个上午缠着我。“你好，奈杰尔，想不到在这儿见到你。”我说。 “你好，伊丽莎白，”奈杰尔回答说，“我正不知道怎么消磨这一上午呢，正好见到你。你不忙，是吗?” “不，不忙，我打算去......”我回答。 “我跟你一道去行吗?”没等我说完话他就问道。 “没关系，但我准备去牙医那里。”我说了个谎。 “那我也跟你去，候诊室里总有很多东西可供阅读!”他回答。 【生词讲解】 persistent adj. 坚持的, 固执的 1） （人，行为）不屈不饶的；执拗的，顽固的 persistent efforts不懈努力 eg.
