英文原版对话1000个:828 Spiders

Fred: I can tell you guys about a very scary spider that once entered my house.

Todd: Oh, really.

Fred: Yeah, so my roommate and I are sitting next to the kitchen and then we just look around the kitchen and then we look up to the wall and we see this really big spider on the wall, and it's got these hairy legs and it's as big as my hand.

Todd: Right.

Fred: So once that we saw that on the wall, we just started to freak out, so what we decided¹ to do was to spray it just to see if it would die or just come down because it, I know it's sad but it's a very dangerous spider and we didn't want to live with that, and so once we sprayed it, and then it went on the floor, we thought that it was dead because it kind of all crooked² up together like this to become some kind of ball, and then so we decided to leave the room and then when we came back into the room the spider wasn't there anymore.

Todd: Ooh. It came back to life.

Fred: It came back to life. So beware³ of the spider.

Todd: But did you ever see the spider again?

Fred: No, we didn't. We couldn't find it anymore.

Katia: I think the spider was smart enough to leave that house and not visit you again.

Fred: Well, I'm happy that it did that.

Todd: Yeah, that's like the other night, I walked into my kitchen and I turned on the light and as soon as I turned on the light this huge spider came running right at me, and then the spider got right up to where I was and then it stopped and then it went away, and so I went to go look for it and I pulled like the garbage bag away and then it ran at me again, and then turned around and ran away, so I went and looked it up on Wikipedia and then it said, actually the spider was just running to my shadow to hide and then when it realized I was a bad place, that's why it ran away.

Fred: Really! That is so interesting.

Katia: The thing is that these spiders are smart. They know. They sense fear and they're smart. I think, they know what to do. We don't know about the spiders, so we don't know which ones are dangerous, which ones are OK, so we just assume all are bad.

Todd: Yeah, you know, I used to be afraid of spiders and I actually kind of like them now.

Katia: I think they're cool.

Todd: You think they're cool.

Katia: I think they're cool.
