＜BillyはYokoに買い過ぎた商品について話しています。＞

Bill: Oh crap, it looks like I bought too many pee pads and I got them 3 months ago. So now, what am I going to do?
あ！しまった、犬のオシッコ用シートを買い過ぎたみたいだ。３が月前に買ってたんだ。これどうしょう？

Yoko: Return them, why are you sweating about it? It’s not a big deal.
返品すればいいじゃない、何を心配しているの？たいしたことじゃないわよ。

Bill: How can I return them? I got them 90 days ago do you think they will take them back?
どうやって返品するの？３ヶ月も前に買ったものを引き取ってくれるかな？

Yoko: Hey, why not try? It is better than taking a lost.
やってみないと分らないでしょう？無駄にするより良いでしょう？

Bill: Oh forget it, I’ll just donate to a place that needs them.
もういいよ、どこか必要な所に寄付するから。

Yoko: Well, I would still give it a try. What do you have to lose? Beside why did you buy them again our dog is done with those pee pads.
まあ、私ならトライしてみるけどね。ダメもとでしょう？それにさ、私達の犬はもうオシッコ用のシートなんていらないのに何でまた買ったの？

＜今週の宿題ポイント＞
● why are you sweating about it =Don’t worry about itと同じ意味です。
● It’s not a big deal=たいしたことではない。
● What do you have to lose?=You have nothing to loseと同じ意味で【失うものはないもない】つまり【ダメもとでしょう】

下記の文章を訳して下さい。

＜Billは友人のMaxにYokoと一緒に行った買物談義をしています。＞

Bill: My wife dragged me to the mall over the weekend and it was a ghost town. I mean there was hardly a soul around. I used to bump into people all day long and stand in ridiculous lines but it sure is not like that anymore.

Max: Why did you want to waste your time when you can jump on line and get the same things for way cheaper? Plus before you know it the package is delivered to your door step. You will never catch me at a mall anymore.

Bill: Well, I guess I’m not much of a shopper so I rally don’t go to the mall nor go on line. So I really don’t know a thing about this. I always leave this department up to my wife. She is the Amazon queen.

Max: For the most part I’m too, but it’s fun to check things out. The stuff they have out there is amazing nowadays.

Bill: I do that once in a while too but again I guess I’m not just into the whole shopping thing.

Max: Well then, do you want to run down to the sports bar and catch the Lakers and drink a few?

Bill: Now you are talking. Let’s hit the road.
