地道美语听力练习:出去玩那点事儿

Sandra:Where will we be staying when we visit Trumanville?

Roger:We'll be staying in a neighborhood on the outskirts of the town, but a stone's throw from some of the major sites we'll want to see.

Sandra:I hope there'll be a lot of taxis around. You know I hate to walk.

Roger:Trumanville is a very walkable city and we'll be within walking distance to everything.

We'll be able to go nearly everywhere on foot.

Sandra:I told you. I hate to walk.

At least we'll be within close proximity to the beach.

Roger:Actually, the areas near the beach are too expensive, and we can't afford it.

And plus, the beach is in a remote part of town, and staying there would mean being in the boonies for our entire trip.

Sandra:But we could take taxis.

Roger:Taking taxis everywhere would be really expensive.

Sandra:Tell me that we'll at least be in the vicinity of good shopping areas.

Roger:It might be a bit of a hike to the shops, but it won't be too onerous to walk.

Sandra:Read my lips. I don't want to walk everywhere.

Maybe we can rent a car or hire a driver.

Roger:Are you out of your mind?!

This is supposed to be a budget vacation, not a luxury trip.

I'm not made of money, you know.

Sandra:And I didn't know you were such a cheapskate!
