John looks tired during a lunch break at the office

Janet: You look like you didn’t sleep well last night.

John: I didn’t. The new mattress I bought sags in the middle.

Janet: It sounds like you got one of those "dirty" mattresses.

John: I think so. I’d like to return it, but I don’t think I can.

Janet: The storeowner probably didn’t even know it was a "dirty" mattress.

John: Yeah, and besides, I didn’t get a receipt.

Janet: You might as well just throw it out and get a new one.

John: I guess that’s better than the pain of carrying it all the way back to the store.

(续上期)

办公室里,约翰在午休时看来很疲惫

珍妮:你看来昨晚睡得不好。

约翰:是睡不好。我买的新床垫中间陷了下去。

珍妮:听来你似乎买到那种‘黑心’床垫了。

约翰:我也这么想。我想要退货,但是我想我退不了。

珍妮:或许就连店家也不知道这是‘黑心’床垫。

约翰:是啊,而且我没拿收据。

珍妮:你干脆就把那床垫丢了,买个新的吧。

约翰:我猜那会强过大老远把床垫扛回店里的痛苦。

重点解说:

★ mattress (n.) 床垫
