标题 | 海边冲浪Windsurfing On The Ocean |
内容 | STEVE: This place serves good breakfasts, don't you think? HOWARD: Yes. But I'm not used to eating American-style breakfast. STEVE: What are you planning to do today? HOWARD: I saw yesterday that they rent windsurfers at the beach. I want to rent one. STEVE: Have you done windsurfing before? HOWARD: No, but it looks fun. I always wanted to try it. STEVE: Can you take a little advice from a friend? HOWARD: Sure. What? STEVE: Don't waste your money. Windsurfing is very hard. And it will be windy today. They will charge you fifty dollars for a half-hour, and you won't be able to windsurf. You will fall and fall and fall. HOWARD: But I always wanted to try it. STEVE: Yes, but it takes a long time to learn. You would spend a thousand dollars to learn it on a rental windsurfer. HOWARD: Well, I will see. How was your day at the office? STEVE: Hectic. It's always hectic. But how was your windsurfing? HOWARD: I tried it for a half-hour. It was interesting, but…… well…… I couldn't really do it. STEVE: See? I told you. It's very hard. HOWARD: I couldn't even stand on it and hold the sail. I probably fell down fifty times. STEVE: Fifty times? HOWARD: Yes, it was really stupid. STEVE: And how much did it cost to rent it? HOWARD: It was fifty dollars for a half-hour. STEVE: Well, that's not too bad then. HOWARD: What do you mean? It's expensive! STEVE: Yes, but you have to calculate a little. You paid fifty dollars and you fell down fifty times. So you only spent one dollar per fall. That's cheap. 史帝芬:这家的早餐不错吧? 郝华:不错,但是我还是不习惯美国的早餐。 史帝芬:你今天打算做什么? 郝华:昨天我在海边看到有人租冲浪板,我想租一个。 史帝芬:你以前冲过浪吗? 郝华:没有,但是看起来很好玩,我一直想试试看。 史帝芬:你可以听听朋友的意见吗? 郝华:当然,请说。 史帝芬:别浪费钱了,冲浪很困难的,而且今天风很大。 他们半小时收费五十元,你根本冲不起来。 你会一直落水的。 郝华:但是我一直想试试看。 史帝芬:不过学这个要很久。 你租冲浪板来学会让你花上一大笔钱。 郝华:我再看看。今天工作得如何? 史帝芬:忙啊,一直很忙。你有去冲浪吗? 郝华:我冲了半小时。 挺有趣的,但是我真的不太会。 史帝芬:看吧!我告诉过你很困难的。 郝华:我甚至站不上去,也抓不到帆,我大概落水五十次。 史帝芬:五十次? 郝华:对啊,真笨。 史帝芬:你租它花了多少钱? 郝华:半小时五十元。 史帝芬:那还不算糟嘛。 郝华:你说什么?很贵的! 史帝芬:没错,不过你算算看。 你花了五十元,摔了五十次。 所以摔一次只花了一元,很便宜啊。 |
