Fun at the Amusement Park
遊樂園小約會
K: Kevin I: Ivy
Kevin and his new American girlfriend are at a large theme park for the day.
I: We’ve already gone on the swingingboat ride six times!
Let’s try something else.
K: But there’s almost no line.
I: It’s so hot out today.
We should go on the log ride to cool down a bit.
K: All right, but if the line looks long, I might give up.
I: You are hungry, aren’t you?
K: Sorry, I can get a bit moody when I’m hungry.
凱文和他的新美國女友在一個大遊樂園裡一日遊。
艾 薇: 我們已經坐了六次海盜船了!
咱們來試試別的吧。
凱 文: 但是這裡幾乎沒有人排隊耶。
艾 薇: 今天外面好熱。
我們應該去坐急流獨木舟涼快一下。
凱 文: 好吧,不過如果看起來很多人排隊的話,我可能就不玩了。
艾 薇: 你餓了,對吧?
凱 文: 抱歉,我肚子餓的時候情緒會有一點差。
