Alice："I will visit England first, and then France.”

Betty："Oh! Are you going abroad?”

Alice："Yes, my father has promised to give me money to travel the world if I pass the final exams with flying colors.”

Betty："Oh! I thought you have some money with you. OK, so have you prepared well for the exam?”

Alice："Not yet, I don’t have all the books. I have to go and buy them.”

Betty："Dear Alice, first you have to buy the books, then study, then do the exam well, then get money from your father, then you will travel, right?”

Alice："Yes, yes. I shall travel by Singapore Airlines. It is really a cool airline.”

Betty："My dear Alice, please don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”

愛麗絲：「我要先去英國，然後去法國。」

貝蒂：「哦，妳要出國嗎？」

愛麗絲：「是呀，我父親已經答應給我錢環遊世界，如果我期末考成績很出色的話。」

貝蒂：「喔，我還以為妳自己有錢，那妳準備好了嗎？」

愛麗絲：「還沒，我沒有所有的課本，我必須出去買它們。」

貝蒂：「親愛的愛麗絲，首先妳必須買書，然後用功，然後考好期末考，然後從妳父親那裡拿到錢，然後妳才會出國旅遊，對不對？」

愛麗絲：「是啊，是啊，我將搭新航旅行，那真是一家很酷的航空公司。」

貝蒂：「親愛的愛麗絲，別高興得這麼早吧。」
