地道美语听力练习:与人谈话时候应注意的话题禁忌

Lila:Why aren't you dating?

I have so many friends who would love to go out with you.

George:Let's change the subject.

Talking about my love life isn't very interesting.

Lila:But really, you're not getting any younger and…

George:Moving on! Have you seen any good movies lately?

Lila:Listen, all of your friends are settling down and you don't want to go through life alone and lonely…

George:That reminds me, didn't you say that you were going to get another dog so that Rover isn't lonely when you're not home?

Lila:Forget about my dog.

You remember Rachel, don't you?

She just broke up with her boyfriend and she'd be perfect for you.

George:Speaking of Rachel, how is her mother?

Wasn't she in the hospital?

Lila:If Rachel isn't your type, how about Amina?

She has great legs and I know you're a leg man.

George:And now for something completely different…

How is your diet coming along? Have you lost any weight yet?

Lila:I don't really want to talk about my weight.

George:But I think you're having trouble shedding those pounds, right?

I have lots of suggestions on what you can do.

Lila:Anyway, as I said before, I don't really want to talk about my diet…

George:You need to cut out sweets if you want to lose weight.

Are you eating too many sweets?

Lila:That's none of your business!

George:My sentiments exactly!
