地道美语听力练习:经历恐惧

Brianna:Are you still here? I thought you left ages ago.

Viktor:There's no rush. I'm thinking of postponing until tomorrow.

Brianna:Why?

Viktor:I feel a sense of foreboding.

I have a sneaking suspicion that things aren't going to go well.

Brianna:Under the circumstances, I can understand your reluctance, but it's like ripping off a bandage.

It's best done quickly.

Viktor:I'm not sure about that.

I have a feeling that things are going to go very, very wrong, and the longer I can put it off the better.

Brianna:Next week is your girlfriend's birthday.

You don't want to break up with her on her birthday, do you?

Viktor:No, that would be cruel.

Maybe I should hold off until after next week.

Brianna:You're really dreading breaking up with her, aren't you?

Viktor:She's got a temper.

When I told her that I couldn't join her on a visit to her parents' house last weekend, she went ballistic, and I have dents in my car door to show for it.

I expect this to be much, much worse.

Brianna:Ah, I see. I never liked the idea of breaking up with someone remotely, but it might be called for in this case.
