Dario: Hi Brian, how have things been with you?

Brian: Pretty good, thanks Dario, but they would be better if I could find some matches.

Dario: You can borrow my lighter instead.

Brian: No thanks, I prefer to use matches.

Dario: Matches are not good for the environment though.

Brian: Why do you say that?

Dario: To make matches you need to cut down a lot of trees!

Brian: Oh, I see your point. I will start buying lighters in the future.

Dario: The best thing would be to quit smoking all together!

Brian: Yeah I know, but I am too weak!

Dario: But not too weak to remember to read the Xianzai English newsletters every week!

戴瑞奧：嗨布萊恩，一切都好嗎?

布萊恩：很好，謝謝戴瑞奧，如果我能找到一些火柴就更好了。

戴瑞奧：你可以借我的打火機(jī)。

布萊恩：不用了謝謝，我喜歡用火柴。

戴瑞奧：可是火柴對環(huán)境不好

布萊恩：你為什么這么說?

戴瑞奧：制造火柴需要砍倒很多樹!

布萊恩：噢，我明白你的意思了。以后我會開始買打火機(jī)。

戴瑞奧：最好是連煙也一起戒掉!

布萊恩：是的我知道，可是我意志太薄弱了!

戴瑞奧：可不要薄弱得連每周的“現(xiàn)在”英語通訊也忘了讀!
