【英语时差8,16】谈谈游乐园

Mike: Hey Amanda! Happy Friday! What are your plans for the weekend?

Amanda: Oh, a bunch of my friends and I are going to check out the new amusement park that just opened up. Want to come?

Mike: Sure, that sounds like fun. I love amusement parks. What are some of your favorite rides?

Amanda: I've always liked roller coasters, especially the ones that go upside down. The more loops, the better!

Mike: Yeah, roller coasters can be pretty exhilarating, especially when you plunge¹ down 100 feet in five seconds.

Amanda: The only ride that I can't stand is the Gravitron.

Mike: Oh, you mean that ride where you're in a big circular room and it spins so fast that the force of gravity makes you stick to the walls?

Amanda: Yeah! That ride always makes me nauseous. I feel queasy² just thinking about it.

Mike: Tell me about it. Once, when I was eight, I went on that ride after eating a bunch of corn dogs. Then after I got off the ride, I was so dizzy that I threw up everything I ate all over my shoes.

Amanda: Ugh, Mike, I was just about to eat lunch!
