原文+答案解析

232.
W: Hi, Jack. Who are you writing to?
M: I'm writing to my parents telling them I'll stay here this summer.
W: You're not going home? I thought you were going on a trip to Japan with your family.
M: Well, I intended to go with them, but I thought again and changed my mind.
W: Tell me. I'm interested in knowing what keeps you from joining your beloved family and staying here. It certainly is not studying.
M: No, certainly not. Michael arranged for me to work at his uncle's institution.
W: How much will you be paid?
M: Judy, I don't do it for money, but for experience. Besides, it's voluntary work.
W: You work without payment? That's really something.
M: When will you leave for home?
W: Tomorrow. We'll fly to Hawaii two days after. I really have to pack now.
M: Go then. Have a nice vacation!
W: I'll send you postcards.
