Mother: Really? Well, two days yet and it's over. Who doesn't work hard these days? Everybody wants to get good grades.

圣诞烦恼
Marty:: Are you all ready for Christmas?
Jack: Are you kidding? I haven't even started. I've done zero shopping.
Marty: Well, you'd better getting going, Christmas is only a week away..
Jack: I have to tell you that I'm one of those people who really gets stressed out by the Christmas rush.
Marty:  Oh, I'm not. I love the holidays. I love the crowds, the shopping, the lights, the music, the food, the parties, all the presents..
Jack: That's just the beginning. My wife always spends too much money on Christmas. The average Christmas expense for U.S. families is about $550. But somehow we always spend about twice that much. It takes me till April to pay off all our Christmas bills.
Marty: Now now, let's not be an Ebeneezer Scrooge (吝啬鬼）about it, Jack. Think about your kids. Didn't you use to love Christmas when you were a kid?
Jack: I guess so. I don't remember.
Marty: I know you did. You've actually forgotten your childhood memories. You were the most excited kid in the whole class. I remember . you know Jack, maybe Christmas is for kids, but you can still enjoy it through the eyes of your children.
Jack: Well, kids enjoy it because they don't have to do all the shopping and pay all the bills.
Marty: Maybe that's true. But you now as well as I do, that Christmas is more than tinsel and trees. Christmas  is about what's in your heart and how you can make others happy.
Jack: You're right, Marty. You're absolutely right. I'm going to try harder to be nice people and to try to keep the true spirit of Christmas in my heart..
Marty: I'm glad to hear that Jack. By the way, do you have your tree up?
Jack: Oh, I hate all the needles that get all over your living room floor. I mean, we're going to get a tree today.
Marty: Have you taken your kids to go see Santa Claus yet?
Jack: If I see anther Santa Claus, I'm gonna scream.
Marty: You're hopeless, Jack
公司恋情
Ramone:: Hey Jen, would you like to go to dinner with me?
Jenny: I don't know. You know what they say about office romances.
Ramone: No. I don't. What do they say about office romances?
Jenny: They say you shouldn't mix love and work.
Ramone:  That's silly. What I do on my own time is nobody else's business. Besides, it pretty hard to meet people outside of the office when we spend long hours here.
Jenny: You've got a point. But I once dated one of my supervisors and all of my co-workers accused him of favoritism(偏爱，偏心）. Then when the relationship went bad, he fired me.
Ramone: Hey, it's the 90s. People fall in love with people they work with. That's a fact.
Jenny: That may be true. But I don't want an inter-office relationship to affect my productivity.
Ramone: If it does, it will only make you more productive, because we can support each other.
Jenny: You're sounding like we're already married.
Ramone: Good grief(哎呀，天哪）. All I did was ask you out. I'm sorry.
Jenny: Well, I still don't feel right about it.
Ramone: I'm talking about dinner tonight, not a lifetime.
Jenny: It starts with dinner, but then it gets out of hand(无法控制）. Besides, haven't you asked out every woman in the entire office?
Ramone: I like company（我喜欢交际）.
Jenny: Company? I heard about you from Linda. She said you were an octopus（用情不专的人）!
Ramone: What can I say? I'm a passionate （多情的 ）guy.
Jenny: Well, I hope you can find something else to be passionate about.
Ramone: You want to go out with me and you know it.
Jenny: In your dreams. Now if you don't mind, I've got some work to do.
Ramone: Okay, I get the message. Hey, do you have any sisters?
