實用英語對話:收藏
漢生：對，去參加一個國際研討會。
大衛(wèi)：真讓人忌妒啊，可以趁這個機會旅旅游、玩一玩。
樂樂：是啊!什么時候我也能有這么好的機會啊!
漢生：你們這是站著說話不腰疼!你們真以為出去開會好玩啊?什么時候你們出去開一次試試就知道了，又累又無聊，哪有在家待著舒服啊!
大衛(wèi)：跑來跑去的確實不輕松，不過總比每天上班下班有意思吧!對了，我有件事要拜托你。
漢生：什么事你說，別客氣。
大衛(wèi)：你在德國喝完的飲料瓶的瓶蓋能不能帶回來給我?
漢生：你要它干什么啊?
大衛(wèi)：我在收集各種瓶蓋，這是我的新愛好。
樂樂：別人都收集錢幣、郵票什么的，你怎么收集瓶蓋?也太奇怪了吧?
大衛(wèi)：蘿卜白菜，各有所愛。瓶蓋也有很多可愛之處。漢生不是也在收集各種杯子、碗什么的嘛!
樂樂：人家那是古董收藏!
漢生：還談不上收藏，只是喜歡而已，等我什么時候發(fā)財了再說收藏的事吧。
樂樂：你們這些愛好不是太古怪就是太奢侈，而且也沒什么用。
漢生：大衛(wèi)，你不知道樂樂喜歡收集什么吧?冰箱貼。
大衛(wèi)：冰箱貼?
樂樂：是啊!我每去一個地方，都會買一兩個冰箱貼回來，貼在冰箱上特別漂亮，而且還很實用，比如有的可以在上面記事、留言，有的帶有溫度計。當然了，最重要的是它們能讓我想起曾經去過的那些地方。每次站在冰箱前，就覺得特別有幸福感和成就感!
大衛(wèi)：如果你們家冰箱貼滿了怎么辦?
樂樂：這我倒沒想過，那就再買一臺冰箱唄!
漢生：看來這愛好也不便宜呀!
David: Han Sheng, I heard that you'll be going to Germany some time soon, is that right?
HS: Yep, I'll be attending an international seminar over there.
David: I'm really so envious, you can take this chance and tour around, have some fun.
LL: Right! I really wonder when I'll ever get such an opportunity!
HS: That's easy for you to say! Do you really think that it's fun to attend a meeting? Maybe you should try it out, then you'll know. It's tiring and boring, it's so much more comfortable to be at home!
David: Of course running around isn't something relaxing, but it sure beats a monotonous day at work! Say, I need a favor from you.
HS: What about?
David: Can you keep the bottle caps of your drinks in Germany for me?
HS: Whatever do you want them for?
David: I'm collecting different types of bottle caps, this is my latest interest.
LL: People (normally) collect currencies, stamps and what not, why do you collect bottle caps? This is so quirky.
David: Everyone has their own preferences. Bottle caps are charming in their own ways. I think Han Sheng is collecting cups, bowls and things like that!
LL: He's collecting antiques!
HS: Those are not considered collector's items, I just like them, that's all. If I strike it rich one of these days, then we can talk about collector's items.
LL: Your hobbies are not that eccentric, they're just extravagant, and what's more, they're useless.
HS: David, want to know what Le Le collects? Fridge magnets.
David: Fridge magnets?
LL: Right! Every time I go some place, I'll buy a couple of fridge magnets, they look really pretty on the fridge, they're also very practical, we can jot some notes and leave messages on them, one of them even has a thermometer on it. Of course, most importantly, they remind me of all the places I've visited. Every time I stand in front of the fridge, I really feel so blessed. It also gives me a sense of attainment!
David: What are you gonna do when your fridge gets all filled up?
LL: I haven't thought about this before, why, just buy another fridge!
HS: Looks like this hobby isn't cheap!
