A（女）：你看起来好像不太高兴，怎么了?    B（男）：别提了,最近没有一件事顺心。    A（女）：你平常都很乐观的，什么事情让你这么烦恼啊？    B（男）：昨天我超速行驶被罚款了。上星期我刚拿到驾照，没想到这么快就被罚款了。    A（女）：你不像是那种喜欢飙车的人呀，怎么会超速行驶呢？    B（男）：昨天是我第一次正式开车上路，可能是太兴奋了，一时忘了控制车速。    A（女）：哎呀，幸好我没搭你的车，要不我一定被你吓得魂飞魄散了。    B（男）：其实我现在想想也挺害怕的，毕竟我是新手司机，对车子控制能力不行。这一次罚款，已经给我敲警钟了，以后开车我可不会再得意忘形了。     A (Woman): You don't look quite happy, why is that?
B (Man): You can well imagine, lately matters are not satisfactory.
A: You are usually optimistic, what are you annoyed at?
B: Yesterday I was fined for driving over the speed limit. Last week I just got my driver's license, I didn't expect to get a fine so soon.
A: You don't look like somebody who likes to drive at high speed. How come you were driving above the speed limit?
B: Yesterday was the first time I was trying to drive on the road. Possibly I was too excited and temporarily forgot to control the vehicle speed.
A: Oh dear, fortunately I wasn't travelling in your car. Otherwise you'll frighten me out of my wits.
B: Actually I now think I'd also be afraid. After all, I'm a new driver, so my ability to control a car is poor. This fine sounds a warning this time. Afterwards I won't get carried away again when driving.
