大卫：汉生，听说你过段时间要去德国，是吗？ 汉生：对，去参加一个国际研讨会。 大卫：真让人忌妒啊，可以趁这个机会旅旅游、玩一玩。 乐乐：是啊！什么时候我也能有这么好的机会啊！ 汉生：你们这是站着说话不腰疼！你们真以为出去开会好玩啊？什么时候你们出去开一次试试就知道了，又累又无聊，哪有在家待着舒服啊！ 大卫：跑来跑去的确实不轻松，不过总比每天上班下班有意思吧！对了，我有件事要拜托你。 汉生：什么事你说，别客气。 大卫：你在德国喝完的饮料瓶的瓶盖能不能带回来给我？ 汉生：你要它干什么啊？ 大卫：我在收集各种瓶盖，这是我的新爱好。 乐乐：别人都收集钱币、邮票什么的，你怎么收集瓶盖？也太奇怪了吧？ 大卫：萝卜白菜，各有所爱。瓶盖也有很多可爱之处。汉生不是也在收集各种杯子、碗什么的嘛！ 乐乐：人家那是古董收藏！ 汉生：还谈不上收藏，只是喜欢而已，等我什么时候发财了再说收藏的事吧。 乐乐：你们这些爱好不是太古怪就是太奢侈，而且也没什么用。 汉生：大卫，你不知道乐乐喜欢收集什么吧？冰箱贴。 大卫：冰箱贴？ 乐乐：是啊！我每去一个地方，都会买一两个冰箱贴回来，贴在冰箱上特别漂亮，而且还很实用，比如有的可以在上面记事、留言，有的带有温度计。当然了，最重要的是它们能让我想起曾经去过的那些地方。每次站在冰箱前，就觉得特别有幸福感和成就感！ 大卫：如果你们家冰箱贴满了怎么办？ 乐乐：这我倒没想过，那就再买一台冰箱呗！ 汉生：看来这爱好也不便宜呀！ David: Han Sheng, I heard that you'll be going to Germany some time soon, is that right?
HS: Yep, I'll be attending an international seminar over there.
David: I'm really so envious, you can take this chance and tour around, have some fun.
LL: Right! I really wonder when I'll ever get such an opportunity!
HS: That's easy for you to say! Do you really think that it's fun to attend a meeting? Maybe you should try it out, then you'll know. It's tiring and boring, it's so much more comfortable to be at home!
David: Of course running around isn't something relaxing, but it sure beats a monotonous day at work! Say, I need a favor from you.
HS: What about?
David: Can you keep the bottle caps of your drinks in Germany for me?
HS: Whatever do you want them for?
David: I'm collecting different types of bottle caps, this is my latest interest.
LL: People (normally) collect currencies, stamps and what not, why do you collect bottle caps? This is so quirky.
David: Everyone has their own preferences. Bottle caps are charming in their own ways. I think Han Sheng is collecting cups, bowls and things like that!
LL: He's collecting antiques!
HS: Those are not considered collector's items, I just like them, that's all. If I strike it rich one of these days, then we can talk about collector's items.
LL: Your hobbies are not that eccentric, they're just extravagant, and what's more, they're useless.
HS: David, want to know what Le Le collects? Fridge magnets.
David: Fridge magnets?
LL: Right! Every time I go some place, I'll buy a couple of fridge magnets, they look really pretty on the fridge, they're also very practical, we can jot some notes and leave messages on them, one of them even has a thermometer on it. Of course, most importantly, they remind me of all the places I've visited. Every time I stand in front of the fridge, I really feel so blessed. It also gives me a sense of attainment!
David: What are you gonna do when your fridge gets all filled up?
LL: I haven't thought about this before, why, just buy another fridge!
HS: Looks like this hobby isn't cheap!
