英文原版对话1000个:1194 His Bad Habits

 　　Maria: Any habits you'd like to change?

 

　　Alex: I would like to change my habits of buying bad food and drinks.

 

　　Maria: Oh, yes.

 

　　Alex: It's so easy.

 

　　Maria: So dangerous.

 

　　Alex: And especially when you're at university and they only sell the bad stuff¹ because it's just so much easier to do than to cook a good meal. I'm a pretty good cook.

 

　　Maria: I noticed.

 

　　Alex: Thank you. My mother taught me to cook well but I don't, I don't know, sometimes I just cannot be bothered so I wish I had the habit of just always being much better with my food. That would help with the weight as well. What else? Habits, habits? I have some bad habits that I would like to change. I have the bad habit of having to sleep with a duna, a duvet cover on. I have to have something like heavy otherwise I can't sleep.

 

　　Maria: Why do you see that as a bad habit?

 

　　Alex: Because in summer, I have to crank the air conditioning up to really, really high so as a result you know I end up wasting electricity so easy. I wish I had the habit of turning my computer off as well. I leave it on all the time.

 

　　Maria: So you're an electricity waster?

 

　　Alex: Yeah, sorry, sorry world. Where is it the islands are flooding in the South Pacific?

 

　　Maria: Everywhere.

 

　　Alex: It's all my fault. So yeah, turning lights off, remembering my key would be good. I always forget my key. I actually thought I lost my key the other day and nearly had a coniption fit so yeah.

 

　　Maria: Drinking habits, any good, any bad?

 

　　Alex: Drinking? Alcohol²?

 

　　Maria: That was the point.

 

　　Alex: I get too excited too quickly and just want to go dancing but the good thing about the dancing is that then you don't drink alcohol because at a certain point you have to drink water.

 

　　Maria: That's true.

 

　　Alex: Do you know what I mean? So like I don't go too far off the deep end.

 

　　Maria: You can't really drink anything when you're dancing then you spill³ it all over the floor.

 

　　Alex: Yeah, so that helps I guess.

 

　　Maria: That does help.
