4.10 Refuse 拒绝

M: Why don't you sit down and relax, darling?

W: I don't want to.

M: Well, come over and talk to me then.

W: Certainly not.

M: May I turn on the TV then?

W: Turn on the TV for what?

M: So that we can sit down together and listen to some music.

W: Listen to the music? And who will cook dinner, will you?

M: I will, but let's go to the disco after dinner.

W: To a disco? Oh, no. You know I hate it.

译：

M：亲爱的，坐下休息一会吧？

W：我不想。

M：嗯，那过来跟我聊聊。

W：不想。

M：我打开电视行吗？

W：打开电视干什么？

M：我们可以坐下来听听音乐。

W：听音乐？谁做饭，你吗？

M：好，我做。晚饭后去跳迪斯科吧？

W：跳迪斯科？不去，你知道我讨厌迪斯科。

注释：

“For what?”是口语中一个很常见的问句，意思和“Why?”一样，但比“Why?”更口语化，有时候也会用“What for?”。
