范例对话

A: How come they're asking me to act as their guide through the jungle?

B: Evidently they think you're the only one who can lead them to the lost temple.

A: That jungle has danger lurking around every corner. Why should I stick my neck out for them? They didn't pay me for my services.

B: They know that you would be taking a great risk and could possibly get hurt, but you're the only one with enough knowledge to take them to their destination. I'm sure you'll be amply rewarded.
