Kathryn:Are you still watching that movie?

It's been over three hours!

Martin:Yeah, it's a little long for a feature film.

Kathryn:A little long?! It's interminable.

How can you continue to watch it?

地道美语听力练习:忍受着看完电影

Martin:Well, the first half was interesting and moved at a clip.

The middle section did drag a little, but it's picked up again.

It's nearly over.

Kathryn:I would've turned it off long before this.

I like movies that are short and sweet.

After about 90 minutes, my mind starts to wander, and after two hours, I check out.

Martin:It depends on the movie.

Sometimes I watch a movie and it's so engrossing that time zips by.

With other movies, though, time moves at a snail's pace.

This movie is somewhere in between.

Kathryn:Hey, the credits are rolling. You missed the ending.

Martin:No big loss. I knew how it was going to end after the first hour.

Kathryn:Then why did you stick it out and watch the rest of the movie?

Martin:One word:procrastination.

Kathryn:Ah, enough said.
