国庆旅游实用英语口语辅导:海边冲浪

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：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。
