英语时差:谈谈恐怖片
Mike: Hi, Amanda. Why don't you sit down and watch this movie with me? It only started about 15 minutes ago.
Amanda: I don't know—this movie looks scary! Why is that guy's complexion so pale? Why do his eyes look like they're about to pop out? And why is there so much blood everywhere?
Mike: I'm not exactly sure what's going on either. I think this group of friends decided to travel to the countryside during their spring break. They end up at this old farmhouse, and apparently there are these zombies that show up at nighttime. I guess it's just your typical horror movie plotline.
Amanda: I hate scary movies! In fact, I hate all violent movies, and I especially hate "jump scenes," when something pops up on the screen suddenly or when there's a sudden loud noise. So basically, watching a horror movie is my worst nightmare.
Mike: To be honest, I don't like horror movies that much either, but sometimes they can be pretty thrilling. And it's fun to watch with a pretty girl, too, because then you can put your arm around her to comfort her when she gets scared.
Amanda: I see what your plan is. Well, sorry to disappoint you, Mike, but I think I'd better get going!
