Tina: James! Why are you wearing a scarf?

詹姆斯：这里面好冷，我不想感冒。

Tina: It is cold, but you won't get a cold from being cold!

蒂娜：是很冷没错，可是你不会因为觉得冷而感冒！

James: Really? I have always worried about that.

詹姆斯：真的吗？我总是担心会因为受冻而感冒。

Tina: Well, that idea is false. People get sick because of germs.

James: Oh. Then I need to wash my hands as often as I can.

詹姆斯：哦，那我就必须尽可能常洗手了。

Tina: Good idea.

Tina: James, why are you eating a plate of carrots?

蒂娜：詹姆斯，你为什么在吃一盘胡萝卜？

Tina: That's not true, James. That's a health myth.

James: It is? But everyone knows carrots are good for your sight!

蒂娜：我以前也这么以为。戴医生昨天上了罗布的节目，关于这一点也许你应该去请教一下她。

James: OK, Tina! I'll talk to her.

詹姆斯：好的，蒂娜！我会找她谈的。
