情景对话
Sean: I know, I know. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with the family of the living dead.

Ethan: Come on! It can't be that bad. The program brochure said the family...

Sean: The brochure lied. They do nothing but sit like zombies in front of the TV.

Ethan: But you're immersed in a 100-percent English environment! You must be learning so much!

Sean: I'm getting pretty good at finding the remote control and passing the potato chips.

参考译文

西恩：我知道，我知道。在此同时，我却跟一家子活死人耗着。

伊森：少来了！哪有这么糟。课程简介上说那家庭……

西恩：简介在胡扯。他们除了像僵尸般坐在电视前之外什么都不做。

伊森：可是你沉浸在百分之百的英文环境里！你一定学了很多！

西恩：我越来越会找遥控器和递炸薯片了。
