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!
