國慶旅游實用英語口語輔導(dǎo):海邊沖浪

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：這家的早餐不錯吧?

郝華：不錯，但是我還是不習(xí)慣美國的早餐。

史帝芬：你今天打算做什么?

郝華：昨天我在海邊看到有人租沖浪板，我想租一個。

史帝芬：你以前沖過浪嗎?

郝華：沒有，但是看起來很好玩，我一直想試試看。

史帝芬：你可以聽聽朋友的意見嗎?

郝華：當(dāng)然，請說。

史帝芬：別浪費錢了，沖浪很困難的，而且今天風(fēng)很大。他們半小時收費五十元，你根本沖不起來。你會一直落水的。

郝華：但是我一直想試試看。

史帝芬：不過學(xué)這個要很久。你租沖浪板來學(xué)會讓你花上一大筆錢。

郝華：我再看看。今天工作得如何?

史帝芬：忙啊，一直很忙。你有去沖浪嗎?

郝華：我沖了半小時。挺有趣的，但是我真的不太會。

史帝芬：看吧!我告訴過你很困難的。

郝華：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?

郝華：對啊，真笨。

史帝芬：你租它花了多少錢?

郝華：半小時五十元。

史帝芬：那還不算糟嘛。

郝華：你說什么?很貴的!

史帝芬：沒錯，不過你算算看。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。
