102.Old Wives' Tales p.198
日期:2007-03-21
Connie and Willy are talking about the previous lesson.
C: Do you believe what they say about chili peppers?
W: Frankly speaking, I don't. The last time I got hurt playing soccer, my mom told me not to eat anything
spicy. She said it will irritate the wound.
C: My mom is the same. For example, according to her, eating fish eyes is good for the eyes.
W: If you think that's weird, listen to this. My mom says eating pigs' brains makes you smart.
C: Are you kidding? Frankly speaking, I don't believe in any of these of wives' tales.
W: I wish you would tell that to my mom. I'm sick of eating pigs' brains.
C: Poor guy!
W: Don't tell anyone, OK? Or I'll never hear the end of it .
C: Ok. It doesn't work anyway.
W: What do you mean?
C: I'm only kidding. You're at least as smart as a pig.
