　　soony--I don't know.Why?
　　laurance--Well,I thought we could go out for dinner
　　and then go to a movie afterward.
　　soony--I can call Debbie and see if she's available.
　　She usually doesn't like to sit during the week,
　　but she might make an exception.
　　laurance--Well,do that,and then call me at the office if
　　you have any luck.
　　soony--Okay,but don't get your hopes too high.It's hard
　　to find a good baby-sitter these days.

　　大学生课余替人看孩子，挣些零花钱。
　　2）sit during the week = baby-sit on weekdays
　　3）make an exception：做例外处理。make no exception：概部例外。
　　4）if you have any luck = if you are successful;也可直译为
　　“如果你有运气能办成的话”
