赖世雄中级美国英语Lesson102
102.Old Wives' Tales Connie and Willy are talking about the previous lesson. C: Do you believe what they say about chili peppers? W: Frankly speaking, I don't. The last time I got hurt playing soccer, my mom told me not to eat anything spicy. She said it will irritate the wound. C: My mom is the same. For example, according to her, eating fish eyes is good for the eyes. W: If you think that's weird, listen to this. My mom says eating pigs' brains makes you smart. C: Are you kidding? Frankly speaking, I don't believe in any of these of wives' tales. W: I wish you would tell that to my mom. I'm sick of eating pigs' brains. C: Poor guy! W: Don't tell anyone, OK? Or I'll never hear the end of it . C: Ok. It doesn't work anyway. W: What do you mean? C: I'm only kidding. You're at least as smart as a pig. |
