Mike: What do you want to do?
迈克：你想做什么呢？
Joe: No idea. Why don't you decide?
乔：不知道，你说呢？
Mike: How about going to the movies?
迈克：去看电影如何？
Joe: Now that sounds like a great idea. I've got the newspaper in my bag. Wait a minute, I'll check the movie reviews to see what good movies are showing. I prefer to go to the movie theater rather than MTV. It has a better atmosphere.
乔：听起来是个好主意。我袋子里有报纸。等等！我看一下电影简介，看看有没有什么好电影在上映。比起MTV，我较喜欢去电影院看电影，那里气氛比较好。
Mike: Okay. Check to see if there are any horror movies showing. I like those. I think horrors are exciting. They give me a thrill.
迈克：好啊！找找看有没有恐怖片在上映。我喜欢恐怖片，我觉得恐怖片很刺激。
Joe: No. The last time we went to watch a horror, it was called "Alien". It nearly frightened me to death. I had nightmares for weeks afterwards.
乔：不！上次我们去看的恐怖片《异形》，快把我吓死了，之后连续好几个星期，我都做恶梦。
Mike: Alright. But we're not going to see another tragedy movie. I don't care if it is a powerful movie. I fell asleep during the last one, it was so boring.
迈克：好，但是我们可别看悲剧电影。我并不在乎它是不是一部具震撼力的电影。在看上一部悲剧电影时，我睡着了，那部电影好无聊。
Joe: I think that was the director's fault for making such a bad movie, not yours. I usually like tragedies because they have strong plots. They make you think after you've left the theater.
乔：我觉得是导演的错，导如此差劲的电影。不是你的错。我通常喜欢悲剧的原因在于它们的剧情十足，在你离开电影院之后，你还会想着剧情。
