2015-12-09来源:和谐英语

Suzanna:Remind me why we're staying in this fleabag motel in the seedy part of town?

Kenji:We agreed that we would skimp on the accommodations so we could spend more money on activities and eating out. Remember?

Suzanna:I remember, but I didn't bargain for someplace as run-down as this.

Look at the peeling wallpaper and moldy bathroom.

Kenji:It's pretty bad, isn't it? Look on the bright side.

At least it's not rat-infested.

Suzanna:That's small comfort.

Well, I think I'll take a short nap before we go out for dinner. Uh!

Kenji:What's the matter?

Suzanna:This comforter is filthy.

I doubt housekeeping has changed it in months!

Kenji:Let's get out of here and go get a drink. That should cheer us up.

Suzanna:Good idea. If I have more than one, maybe I won't care so much where we're staying.

Kenji:Given the state of this room, we might need an entire pitcher!
