Bobby: Kelly, can you turn the vibes up a little?

Kelly: Sure, but it's already pretty loud.

Bobby: That's OK. I love to have loud music on when I am doing the housework.

Kelly: Is that so you don't get so bored while you are washing and scrubbing?

Bobby: That's absolutely right.

Kelly: I hate chores as well, so maybe I will follow your example and get into some music.

Bobby: You will find that the time just flies when you are listening to music while you work.

Kelly: I should take some CDs to work with me then.

Bobby: I don't think the boss or your colleagues would like loud music when they were trying to work!

Kelly: Good point! I will leave the music at home.

鮑比：凱莉，你能把音樂放大聲點嗎?

凱莉：沒問題，不過已經(jīng)很大聲了。

凱莉：這么做是讓你在洗洗刷刷的時候不那么無聊?

鮑比：對極了。

凱莉：我也討厭家務(wù)勞動，所以也許我應(yīng)該像你那樣聽一些音樂。

鮑比：你會發(fā)現(xiàn)一邊勞動一邊聽音樂時間過得就是快。

凱莉：那我應(yīng)該帶一些CD去工作。

凱莉：有道理!我要把音樂留在家里。
