Bobby: Kelly, can you turn the vibes up a little?
Kelly: Sure, but it‘s already pretty loud.
Bobby: That‘s OK. I love to have loud music on when I am doing the housework.
Kelly: Is that so you don‘t get so bored while you are washing and scrubbing?
Bobby: That‘s absolutely right.
Kelly: I hate chores as well, so maybe I will follow your example and get into some music.
Bobby: You will find that the time just flies when you are listening to music while you work.
Kelly: I should take some CDs to work with me then.
Bobby: I don‘t think the boss or your colleagues would like loud music when they were trying to work!
Kelly: Good point! I will leave the music at home.
鲍比：凯莉，你能把音乐放大声点吗？
凯莉：没问题，不过已经很大声了。
鲍比：没事。做家务的时候我喜欢把音乐放得很大声。
凯莉：这么做是让你在洗洗刷刷的时候不那么无聊？
鲍比：对极了。
凯莉：我也讨厌家务劳动，所以也许我应该像你那样听一些音乐。
鲍比：你会发现一边劳动一边听音乐时间过得就是快。
凯莉：那我应该带一些CD去工作。
鲍比：我觉得你的老板或同事在工作的时候不喜欢听喧闹的音乐！
凯莉：有道理！我要把音乐留在家里。
