　　Mark: (sniff sniff, cough cough) I was walking around the park with Poppy when suddenly the weather became terrible. I didn't expect it to get so cold so quickly.

　　Jingjing: Mark! What were you thinking? You should have bundled up before you went outside. The weatherman said it was going to snow 10 inches tonight.

　　京晶：马克！你怎么想的？你应该多穿点儿。气象员说今晚会下10英寸厚的大雪。
