【原文】W: Since we’ve decided to go swimming to celebrate your birthday, shall we go to the beach? We can swim and play beach volleyball. It would be so much fun! M: Yes, but there can be scary tides.
W: Relax, Tim. We’ll swim in an area protected b y lifeguards.
M: That’s good. But what if a typhoon is coming? That will make conditions at the beach very dangerous.
W: We’ll check the weather report on the day of the party. If there’s a typhoon, we’ll postpone the party or have an alternative plan.
M: Then why don’t we go to a lake instead? We can swim and have a barbecue. It would be safer.
W: Not necessarily. You know, not all lakes are safe for swimming. We need to check the currents, and be sure the water isn’t too cold. We should also be alert to afternoon thunderstorms.
M: That’s a lot to worry about. Let’s go to a swimming pool and have a safe poolside party.
W: Well, swimming pools aren’t completely safe. Accidents can also happen if people are too aggressive in the water.
M: That’s true. Thankfully, we won’t have any alcohol at the party. Swimming is extremely dangerous when you’ve been drinking.
