Peter︰Jane,what do you think about this painting?Does it fit in with the design1 in my bedroom?

Jane︰ I don't know. I guess it depends on what kind of atmosphere2 you want in there. This is a picture of a monkey. So, I suppose3 that you like monkeys.

Peter︰Yes, I love monkeys!This painting was painted by a tribesman4 in Africa. I bought it during my vacation to Africa last year.

Jane︰A safari in Africa!Wow, that sounds exciting. I'm not sure if I like this painting, though. It's not really my style.

Peter︰You don't like it?You told me you liked it before.

Jane︰Yeah, well, I guess I was just being nice. Anyway, it doesn't matter. If you like it, then I'm happy for you.Peter︰I'm a bit surprised that you don't like monkeys. They're really cute and also very intelligent5.

Jane︰ Cute?I think they're too hairy6 and smelly to be cute. Also, they're always getting into trouble. And they're always making loud noises, it's so annoying.

Peter︰Well, I think you should think twice before traveling to Africa.

彼得︰珍,妳覺得這幅畫怎樣?跟我房間的設計搭配嗎?

珍︰我不知道囉!我想這取決於你想要營造什麼氣氛。這是張猴子畫,所以我猜你喜歡猴子。

彼得︰對呀,我愛猴子!這幅畫是由個非洲部落的成員所畫,我去年在非洲度假時買的。

珍︰非洲野生大探險!哇,真刺激。但我不太喜歡這幅畫,它不是我喜歡的那型。
彼得︰妳不喜歡?妳之前跟我說妳喜歡。

珍︰對啦,我只是好意。無論如何,假如你喜歡,我就為你感到高興。彼得︰妳不喜歡猴子,我有點驚訝,它們真的很可愛而且很聰明。

珍︰可愛?我覺得它們毛茸茸的,又臭,不可能可愛的,而且它們總是惹麻煩也很吵,超討人厭的。

彼得︰噢,我想假如妳要去非洲旅行的話,得多考慮。
