So,where should we go on a vocation?

What about Africa?

Africa? No, that's not for me.

Why do you want to go to Africa?

I'd like to get out and see the wildlife, the drama of nature.

We could see some of the great migrations.

Wow,you are an adventurer.

What about food and diseases?

What about terrorism恐怖主义？

Sure,something bad could happen, but if we never take any risks we won't have an interesting life.

I don't want to have a boring life.

(She thinks it's worth taking a few risks in order to have an interesting life.)

(She is willing to take some risks to avoid having a boring life.)

(What are his concerns about going to Africa? He's worried about food, diseases and terrorism.)

(He's concerned about food, diseases and terrorism.)

So, you think I'm boring then, right?

Well, you're certainly not the most exciting person.

You play things safe and secure.

I don't mind taking a few risks, but it's got to be worth it.

Watching animals migrate is something I can see in a documentary纪录片.

And I don't like the idea of being around predators捕食者 like lions and hyenas土狼.

(When is he willing to take some risks? He is willing to take some risks but only when he thinks it's worth it.

(He is willing to take a few risks, but only if it's worth it.)

(He isn't willing to take a risk unless he thinks it's really important.)

OK, my brave man.

What would YOU like to do?

Well, I've been thinking about it.

I think it would be nice to go to Paris in the fall and visit some museums.

We could go to a concert and maybe see a ballet.

Uh! We've been to Paris before.

There's nothing exciting about it and I'm tired of museums.

(What does she think of his suggestion? She thinks it's boring.)

(She thinks his suggestion isn't very exciting.)

(There's nothing exciting about going to Paris and I'm tired of museums.)

Any other ideas?

One place that might be interesting is in south America, Machu Picchu.

It's an abandoned city way up in the mountains of Peru.

Yes, I've heard of it.

That might be interesting.

Should we look into it?

Sure, you look into it, and I'll get some information about trips to Africa.

(What is Machu Picchu? It's an abandoned city.)

So, your heart is really set on Africa, isn't it?

Yes, it really is.

I need something exciting in my life now.

All I do is work and be with you.

I need a change.

Don't you ever feel that way?

OK, I hear you.

Let's go to Africa.

And don't blame me if you get sick along the way.

Great, you are not so bad after all.

I can always depend on you.

Be careful.

Maybe one of these days I'll surprise you.

(To have your heart set on something means? You really want to do it.)

(What might he mean when he says he may surprise one of these days? She may not always be able to depend on him.)

(He may surprise her by not doing something she really needs.)

(He agrees to go to Africa with her because he sees how important it is to her.)

There's nothing exciting about going to Paris and I'm tired of museums.
