Goof around 不务正业

Goof around 不务正业
                  李华周末来看Larry,Larry却有一大堆事情还没有做。
                  LL: It sure is nice to see you, Li Hua. But, honestly I've got
                  so many things I have to do right now. I've just goofed around
                  all weekend and haven't gotten anything done.
                  LH: You goofed around? 这是什么意思啊?
                  LL: To "goof around" means to not do the things you are
                  supposed to do. And I really didn't do what I was supposed to
                  this weekend.
                  LH: 噢,原来goof around是游手好闲,不务正业的意思。那你有什么该做的事情没有做呢?
                  LL: I was supposed to do my laundry, dust and vacuum my
                  apartment, mop my kitchen floor, and clean my bathroom. But
                  because I goofed around, I didn't do any of the cleaning I
                  needed to do.
                  LH: 洗衣服、还要打扫房间、擦地板,这么多事啊!那你这两天都干了些什么呢?
                  LL: Instead of doing my housework, I watched movies on TV,
                  talked to friends on the phone, and played computer games.
                  LH: You really did goof around.
                  又是看电影,又是打游戏的。难道你父母没有告诉过你,只有做完正事以后才能玩吗?
                  LL: They certainly did, Li Hua. But after a full week of work,
                  I really didn't feel like doing my house cleaning. In fact, I
                  didn't want to do much else besides goof around.
                  LH: 这我能理解,大家周末都想好好放松一下,不过也不能整个周末都这样无所事事啊。
                  LL: I know you are right, Li Hua. The weekend is really the
                  only time I have to make sure my apartment is clean and that I
                  have clean clothes.
                  LH: 现在可倒好,已经星期天晚上了,你明天上班有干净衣服穿吗!
                  LL: Well, then I've goofed around enough! I really need to do
                  my laundry, Li Hua. So if you don't mind, I am going to get to
                  work.
                  LH: 我本来想和你出去看场电影,喝杯咖啡的,现在全泡汤了。
                  LL: Yeah, I am sorry, Li Hua. You shouldn't have to go home,
                  because I goofed around.
                  LH: 这样好了,我们商量商量,我可以帮你一起打扫房间。
                  LL: And then afterwards, we could still go for a cup of
coffee.
