偶尔听到了女儿和我的一位同事的对话。
同事问:“How many times do you walk your dog everyday"(你一天溜几次狗啊)?”
女儿答:“It depends. Small dogs doesn't need much exercise, whilebig dogs need to run around often because... (不一定,小狗不用太多,大狗就要次数多一些, 因为......)”
同事打断她又问:“Then how often do you need to take your dog out (你每天需要带狗狗出去几次啊)?”
女儿又答:“It's also up to the breed of the dag. Some dogs are moreactive than others, so they would need more exercise, like Husky and Eskimodogs; but others...(与狗的品种也有关系,有的狗爱运动,就要多活动,例如,哈士奇或爱斯基摩犬, 但是有的狗......)
同事打断她再问:“How about your dog? How many times do you need totake her out (那么,你的狗呢?一天溜几次)?"
女儿再答:“My dog is a Shih-Tzu,she is small in size and she is not very active. So, she can just run on the stairs, I don't need to walk her!(我的狗是西施犬,她不大,也不爱运动,所以她在我家楼梯上跑跑就够了,我不用遛她!)
据说人的性格分四种颜色。如果这个理论准确,这次对话是经典的蓝与红的较量。女儿是注重细节的蓝色,同事是追求效率的红色。对话结束时,同事的脸都急红啦。
