偶爾聽到了女兒和我的一位同事的對話。
同事問:“How many times do you walk your dog everyday"(你一天溜幾次狗啊)?”
女兒答:“It depends. Small dogs doesn't need much exercise, whilebig dogs need to run around often because... (不一定,小狗不用太多,大狗就要次數多一些, 因為......)”
同事打斷她又問:“Then how often do you need to take your dog out (你每天需要帶狗狗出去幾次啊)?”
女兒又答:“It's also up to the breed of the dag. Some dogs are moreactive than others, so they would need more exercise, like Husky and Eskimodogs; but others...(與狗的品種也有關係,有的狗愛運動,就要多活動,例如,哈士奇或愛斯基摩犬, 但是有的狗......)
同事打斷她再問:“How about your dog? How many times do you need totake her out (那麽,你的狗呢?一天溜幾次)?"
女兒再答:“My dog is a Shih-Tzu,she is small in size and she is not very active. So, she can just run on the stairs, I don't need to walk her!(我的狗是西施犬,她不大,也不愛運動,所以她在我家樓梯上跑跑就夠了,我不用遛她!)
據說人的性格分四種顏色。如果這個理論準確,這次對話是經典的藍與紅的較量。女兒是注重細節的藍色,同事是追求效率的紅色。對話結束時,同事的臉都急紅啦。
