163.Working Together
163.一起干活
John returned often from then on, first on the basis of helping Ursula with her mom, and then on the part of himself to be with Ursula.
从那以后，约翰经常过来，首先是基于帮助厄休拉照顾母亲的需要，然后是代表他自己——他想和厄休拉在一起。
They decided on purpose to fix up the house together so that they could spend time together!
他们有意决定一起修房子，这样他们就能共度时光！
They were on the level to each other and both John and Ursula were alive with anticipation!
他们坦诚相见，俩人都充满期待！
It had been years since either of them had felt this way!
他们有好多年没有这种感觉了！
Even when John was on the job at his office, he was also on the alert for special tools and materials
即使是在办公室工作的时候，约翰也会对一些廉价出售或者特价出售，
that would be on sale or on special to help with Ursula's home.
对厄休拉的房屋有用的特殊工具和材料密切注意。
He got a great deal on some paint on the corner of Main Street.
他在主街街角弄到了许多特价漆。
Then, after listening to an advertiser who was live on the air, John won a new set of tools!
后来又听了一个在电台被直播的广告商的话，得到了一套新工具！
Soon all repairs were finished on schedule.
很快所有修复工作都及时完成了。
On the one hand they were very happy, on the other，however, they were sad-Ursula's mother had taken a turn for the worse!
他们一方面很高兴，另一方面却又有些悲伤——因为厄休拉母亲的病情恶化了！
"Now don't worry about me! I'm not sad to die!" she said to both of them with a smile.
"现在别担心我！死不会使我伤心！"她笑着对他俩说。
"On the contrary. I'll die a happy woman now that you two are finally together!"
"相反，我会快乐地死去，因为你们俩终于在一起了！"
John and Ursula blushed-they were like school kids all over again!
约翰和厄休拉都脸红了--他们整个又像小学生似的！
"And feel free to put this old house on the market when I die so that you can buy a house together!"
"我死后你们可以做主把这所老房子卖掉，这样你们就可以一起买房子了！"
"Mother!" Ursula said，"we're not that far in our relationship yet!"
"妈！"厄休拉说，"我们的关系还没有到那一步！"
"No, honey. You're right on the dot!
"不，亲爱的。正是时候！
But I'm on short notice here so I want to tell you that I want you to be happy IF you do get together!"
我这里说走就走，所以我想告诉你们，如果你们真在一起了，我希望你们幸福！"
