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：这家的早餐不错吧？
郝华：不错，但是我还是不习惯美国的早餐。
史帝芬：你今天打算做什么？
郝华：昨天我在海边看到有人租冲浪板，我想租一个。
史帝芬：你以前冲过浪吗？
郝华：没有，但是看起来很好玩，我一直想试试看。
史帝芬：你可以听听朋友的意见吗？
郝华：当然，请说。
史帝芬：别浪费钱了，冲浪很困难的，而且今天风很大。
他们半小时收费五十元，你根本冲不起来。
你会一直落水的。
郝华：但是我一直想试试看。
史帝芬：不过学这个要很久。
你租冲浪板来学会让你花上一大笔钱。
郝华：我再看看。今天工作得如何？
史帝芬：忙啊，一直很忙。你有去冲浪吗？
郝华：我冲了半小时。
挺有趣的，但是我真的不太会。
史帝芬：看吧！我告诉过你很困难的。
郝华：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？
郝华：对啊，真笨。
史帝芬：你租它花了多少钱？
郝华：半小时五十元。
史帝芬：那还不算糟嘛。
郝华：你说什么？很贵的！
史帝芬：没错，不过你算算看。
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。
