第10课:无趣的 - 13
【迷你小对话】
A: James is sure a wet blanket. He had to point out that people don’t laugh at my jokes anymore.
B: He’s right. It’s not you, but people don’t go for the same jokes any longer. And your comedy routine has become old hat.
A: Yes, it feels like I’m singing the same old song every time. I need a change.
B: Yes, well that song is enough to put someone to sleep.
A: James真是个让人扫兴的人,就算我的笑话一点也不逗乐,他也不一定非得说出来呀。
B: 他这样做没有什么不对,谁能总听同样的笑话。你那套搞笑的保留节目太过时了。
A: 我有感觉我好像总是在老生常谈,看来我也该改变一下了。
B: 是呀,那些话是够让人发困的了。
