地道美语听力练习:忍受着看完电影
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?
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.
