2015-07-30来源:和谐英语

Kitty:Oh, smell that. Isn't that delectable?

Pepe:Yes, it's pleasant.

Kitty:Pleasant? It's heavenly.

It has a nice fruity scent, not too sweet.

Pepe:If you say so. I don't want to buy anything that has a strong perfume smell. I'm a guy.

Kitty:I know, but you want to exude a sexy scent that captivates the opposite sex, right?

Pepe:I'm not sure about that. I just want to smell fresh and clean.

Kitty:All right, how about this one?

Pepe:Uh, it smells musky.

Kitty:Musky is good. Musky is sexy.

Pepe:Not to me. Let's stick with something basic.

I'm buying this one.

Kitty:But that one smells like detergent!

Pepe:Yes, because that's what I'm buying-detergent for my clothes.

I don't need any fancy scents on my clothes.

Kitty:Have it your way, but you're missing out on a chance to lure women with your scent.

Pepe:I'll pass up that chance, thank you very much.

If I follow your advice and buy this perfume-smelling detergent, women will definitely get the wrong idea about me!
