地道美語聽力播客:In a Rut
Woman: What do you want to do tonight?
Man: I don't know. What do you want to do?
W: I have no idea. Do you think we're in a rut ?
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, we do the same things every weekend. We go to the same restaurants. We see the same friends. You know what I mean ?
M: Yeah, I guess you're right. It's easy to get bogged down in the day to day , and forget tochange things up once in a while. Let's break out and do some thing completely different tonight.
W: Okay, I'll look in the events section of the paper to see what's going on tonight. Hmm, we could go to a concert. There is a good one tonight. I bet it's not sold out . But, we'll have to drive an hour to the venue .
M: An hour? That's a bit of a bummer . Let me take a peek and see what else there is. How about going dancing? We haven't done that in a while. There's a club in Silver Lake that's supposed to be hopping on Friday nights. Eddie from work told me that they have a really good DJ and a big dance floor , and the cover charge isn't bad.
W: I'm not really in the mood for dancing, actually. You know what? I just feel like staying home tonight and vegging , after all. How about you?
M: Yeah, I was hoping you’d say that. It's nice to have the option to go out but I’d rather stay in . Maybe we can go out tomorrow night.
W: Yeah, definitely, tomorrow night.
