英语情景会话
(以下D代表Daniel，J代表John)
D: Hi, John. could you hand me my slippers? I'm tired out.
J: Wait a minute. My muscles have also been pretty stiff lately. What I want now is a sound sleep after a bath.
D: Why not go to have a massage!
J: Sole massage or head massage?
D: Of course a whole-body one.
J: Good idea! That would be refreshing. But it must be expensive. The payday hasn't come.
D: I think it's good to relieve ourselves occasionally. Don't you agree?
J: Oh, I agree.
D: Maybe we should try a Thai massage.
J: What's special about a Thai massage?
D: The masseuse walks on your back and massages you with her feet.
J: Sounds awful! That will make me more painful.
D: You'll feel much more relaxed after the massage.
J: Really? Let's go! I can't wait!
