Dario: Hi Brian, how have things been with you?
Brian: Pretty good, thanks Dario, but they would be better if I could find some matches.
Dario: You can borrow my lighter instead.
Brian: No thanks, I prefer to use matches.
Dario: Matches are not good for the environment though.
Brian: Why do you say that?
Dario: To make matches you need to cut down a lot of trees!
Brian: Oh, I see your point. I will start buying lighters in the future.
Dario: The best thing would be to quit smoking all together!
Brian: Yeah I know, but I am too weak!
Dario: But not too weak to remember to read the Xianzai English newsletters every week!
戴瑞奥：嗨布莱恩，一切都好吗?
布莱恩：很好，谢谢戴瑞奥，如果我能找到一些火柴就更好了。
戴瑞奥：你可以借我的打火机。
布莱恩：不用了谢谢，我喜欢用火柴。
戴瑞奥：可是火柴对环境不好
布莱恩：你为什么这么说?
戴瑞奥：制造火柴需要砍倒很多树!
布莱恩：噢，我明白你的意思了。以后我会开始买打火机。
戴瑞奥：最好是连烟也一起戒掉!
布莱恩：是的我知道，可是我意志太薄弱了!
戴瑞奥：可不要薄弱得连每周的“现在”英语通讯也忘了读!
