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。
