Susie: I''m tired, Larry. Can we have a break?
larry: We just started about twenty minutes ago.
Susie: I know, but I''m tired. My stomach feels funny.
larry: Didn''t you sleep well last night?
Susie: I was too excited to sleep last night.
larry: Oh, Susie. Didn''t I tell you over and over again that you wouldn''t be able to climb the mountain unless you got enough sleep?
Susie: You did, but I can''t help it.
larry: This is a one-day trip. We''ll have to keep going and try to reach the top by noon or give up right now and go home.
Susie: I don''t want to give up.
larry: Can you go on now?
Susie: Don''t push me. What I need is to rest for a while.
larry: I''m experienced, Susie. We won''t be able to reach the top if you keep asking for a break every ten minutes.
Susie: It won''t be long. It''s only temporary.
Larry: It will last the whole journey. Take my word for it.
Susie: This is the first time I''ve ever climbed a mountain in my life. Don''t be so hard on me.
larry: Sorry, Susie....Well, we''ll keep going for a while and see how you can take it. If you do feel ill, we''ll go home. We can always go climbing mountains any time you like.
Susie: All right, Larry. Thanks. I''m sorry to spoil this journey.
爬山
苏西: 我累了,拉瑞。我们能不能歇一会儿?
拉瑞: 我们二十分钟前才出发的。
苏西: 我知道,但是我累了。我的胃不舒服,怪怪的。
拉瑞: 你昨晚没睡好?
苏西: 昨晚我太兴奋了,睡不着。
拉瑞: 哦,苏西。我不是再三的告诉你好多次了吗,除非你睡眠充足,否则是不能爬山的?
苏西: 你说过,可是我没办法啊。
拉瑞: 这是一天往返的旅程。我们要不就继续走,试着在中午以前到达山顶,要不然就现放弃,回家去。
苏西: 我不想放弃。
拉瑞: 你现在能继续走吗?
苏西: 不要催我。我只要休息一会儿就好了。
拉瑞: 我有经验,苏西。如果你每十分钟就要求要歇脚的话,我们是到不了山顶的。
苏西: 不会太久的。这只是暂时性的。
拉瑞: 它会持续整个旅程的。相信我吧。
苏西: 这是我生平第一次爬山。别对我这么凶。
拉瑞: 抱歉,苏西。……那我们继续走一段时间,看看你觉得怎么样。如果你真的觉得不舒服,我们就回家。等你想爬山时,我们随时可以爬山。
苏西: 好吧,拉瑞。谢了。很抱歉我破坏了这次的旅游。
