Breanne:Wow!What choices you have!I wish I could,but I just can't.I'm on a diet to lose weight.

Atticus: Come on!It's just a bite.It doesn't really hurt to have just a bite.

Breanne:I'd better not.Please don't tempt me.Please!

Atticus: Gee!You are really strong-willed.

Breanne:You're right.I'm not so easily coaxed into doing anything that I think is wrong.

☆對話試譯

阿提庫斯：你想要一些冰激凌嗎？我有草莓、桃、巧克力、巧克力片、巧克力布朗尼、咖啡、香草、巖石路、奶油核桃和果仁糖等多種口味的供你選擇。

布里安娜：哇！你有那么多選擇！我倒希望我能選擇,但我不能這樣做。我正在節(jié)食減肥呀。

阿提庫斯：來吧！只是咬一口。僅僅咬一口不會有什么壞處的。

布里安娜：我最好不要這樣做。請你不要誘惑我。拜托！

阿提庫斯：哎呀,你意志還真堅定??！

布里安娜：沒錯。我不太容易被誘使做一些我認為是錯誤的事情的。

阿提庫斯：好吧,我就不誘惑你啦。否則,我給你一塊蛋糕的話,你有可能會要一杯牛奶。
