Lesson34 Too Tired To Have a Holiday
Mary Williams lived alone1 and had2 a very important3 job in a company4. Sheworked very hard. She often worked late. And she even5 worked on weekends.
Jill Thomas was6 Mary's best friend, but Jill was married7, and she did8 notwant to work all the time. "I'm quite happy at home with Len when we are notworking,'she always said9. "I want to enjoy my life10.'
Jill and Len both enjoyed hiking11 and dancing very much. Nearly12 every weekendthey went hiking and dancing. Then they would13 go and dance through theevening. When they had their holidays, they would climb mountains, swim andsail on lakes and dance nearly all the time.
Once Jill said to Mary, "Would you like to have a holiday with us this year,Mary?" Mary was very happy, so Jill and Mary and Len had two weeks together.
Mary enjoyed her holiday, but she was very tired after they had climbed allthe mountains, swam and danced every day and every night.
The next summer, Jill offered14 to take Mary on their holiday again.
"Thank you very much," answered Mary, "but I'm going15 to be quite honest16 withyou: I'm sorry that I can't come, because I've worked a lot this year andI'm tired. I don't need a holiday: I need to rest!"
hiking 徒步旅行
累得不想度假
玛丽•威廉姆斯一个人生活,在一家公司任重要职务。她工作很努力,经常工作到很晚,甚至周末也工作。
吉尔•托玛斯是玛丽最好的朋友,但吉尔结婚了,而且她不愿始终处于工作状态。“利恩和我不上班的时候,我很乐意和他呆在家。”她总说,“我要享受人生。”
吉尔和利恩都非常喜欢徒步旅行和跳舞。几乎每个周末他们都去徒步旅行和跳舞。另外他们晚上也跳舞。度假时,他们几乎一直在爬山、游泳、在湖上驾驶帆船和跳舞。
吉尔有次对玛丽说:“今年愿意和我们度假吗,玛丽?”玛丽很乐意,因此吉尔和玛丽,还有利恩一起度了两周假。玛丽假期玩的很开心,但在他们爬完所有要爬的山、整天游泳和跳舞之后,她感到非常疲倦。
第二年夏天,吉尔再次邀请玛丽和他们一起度假。
“非常感谢,”玛丽回答,“但我想坦率的告诉你:很抱歉我不能去,因为今年我做了很多工作,很累。我不需要假期,只需要休息!”
