生活英語情景口語:你可以借點錢給我嗎?

C: hey Jayden, I was wondering if you could do me a favor.
J: that depends. What is it?
C: it's kind of a big favor. I'm absolutely flat broke, and I owe my landlady $200. she's given me until Friday to give it to her, but I don't get paid until next Monday. Do you think you could loan me some cash until I get paid?
J: I'd love to help you out, but I'm a bit short on cash this month as well. I had to get a new engine put into my car, and that ate up my savings.
C: if you can't give me the full amount, a fraction of it would still help. I'll pay you back on Monday. I promise.
J: let's see, I've got about $50 to get me through the weekend. I can only spare about $20. I would give you more if I had it, I just don't have much money to my name right now.
C: thanks a lot Jayden. Every little bit will help. Tell you what, if you aren't doing anything tonight, why don't you come over and have dinner at my place.
J: that'd be great. Thanks! What time should I come over?
C: how about at 6 pm?
J: see you then!

嗨，傑登，我正想找你幫忙呢。
看情況吧，什麼事？
是件大事。我身無分文，還欠了房東太太200美元。她限我在週五之前還錢，但是我下週一才能領薪水。在領工資之前，你能不能借我點現金？
我很想幫你解決這個困難，但是我這個月也很缺錢。我剛剛給我的汽車買了個新的發動機，這花光了我所有的積蓄。
如果你不能借我全款，借我一部分也能幫上忙。我下週一一定還給你，我保證。
咱們看看啊，我撐到這週末一共需要50塊錢，那就還能剩下20塊給你。要是有的話，我一定多給你一些，可是我名下真的沒什麼錢了。
非常感謝你，傑登。每一點錢都會非常有幫助的。我跟你說，要是你今晚沒什麼安排的話，爲什麼不來我家吃晚飯呢？
那可太好了。謝謝！我幾點過去？
晚上6點怎麼樣？
到時候見.
