STEVE： This place serves good breakfasts， don't you think？
HOWARD： Yes. But I'm not used to eating American-style breakfast.
STEVE： What are you planning to do today？
HOWARD： I saw yesterday that they rent windsurfers at the beach. I want to rent one.
STEVE： Have you done windsurfing before？
HOWARD： No， but it looks fun. I always wanted to try it.
STEVE： Can you take a little advice from a friend？
HOWARD： Sure. What？
STEVE： Don't waste your money. Windsurfing is very hard. And it will be windy today.
They will charge you fifty dollars for a half-hour， and you won't be able to windsurf.
You will fall and fall and fall.
HOWARD： But I always wanted to try it.
STEVE： Yes， but it takes a long time to learn.
You would spend a thousand dollars to learn it on a rental windsurfer.
HOWARD： Well， I will see. How was your day at the office？
STEVE： Hectic. It's always hectic. But how was your windsurfing？
HOWARD： I tried it for a half-hour.
It was interesting， but…… well…… I couldn't really do it.
STEVE： See？ I told you. It's very hard.
HOWARD： I couldn't even stand on it and hold the sail. I probably fell down fifty times.
STEVE： Fifty times？
HOWARD： Yes， it was really stupid.
STEVE： And how much did it cost to rent it？
HOWARD： It was fifty dollars for a half-hour.
STEVE： Well， that's not too bad then.
HOWARD： What do you mean？ It's expensive！
STEVE： Yes， but you have to calculate a little.
You paid fifty dollars and you fell down fifty times.
So you only spent one dollar per fall. That's cheap.
史帝芬：這家的早餐不錯吧？
郝華：不錯，但是我還是不習慣美國的早餐。
史帝芬：你今天打算做什么？
郝華：昨天我在海邊看到有人租沖浪板，我想租一個。
史帝芬：你以前沖過浪嗎？
郝華：沒有，但是看起來很好玩，我一直想試試看。
史帝芬：你可以聽聽朋友的意見嗎？
郝華：當然，請說。
史帝芬：別浪費錢了，沖浪很困難的，而且今天風很大。
他們半小時收費五十元，你根本沖不起來。
你會一直落水的。
郝華：但是我一直想試試看。
史帝芬：不過學這個要很久。
你租沖浪板來學會讓你花上一大筆錢。
郝華：我再看看。今天工作得如何？
史帝芬：忙啊，一直很忙。你有去沖浪嗎？
郝華：我沖了半小時。
挺有趣的，但是我真的不太會。
史帝芬：看吧！我告訴過你很困難的。
郝華：我甚至站不上去，也抓不到帆，我大概落水五十次。
史帝芬：五十次？
郝華：對啊，真笨。
史帝芬：你租它花了多少錢？
郝華：半小時五十元。
史帝芬：那還不算糟嘛。
郝華：你說什么？很貴的！
史帝芬：沒錯，不過你算算看。
你花了五十元，摔了五十次。
所以摔一次只花了一元，很便宜啊。
