35. Getting a Tan 晒晒黑

            A: What have you got there?
            B: It's my sun lamp. I'm taking it down to the electric shop to be
            fixed. There's something wrong with the wiring, It blows fuses
            whenever I plug it in.
            A: What in the world do you need a sun lamp for?
            B: Well, I want to get a tan and I haven't time to lie in the sun,
            so I lie under the sun lamp every night for five minutes.
            A: That's finr, as long as you don't fall asleep. An hour under one
            of those things and you'd be just a cinder.

            A：你那是什么东西？
            B：我的紫外线灯。拿它到电器店去修理。电线上有些毛病，我一插上插座就把保险丝烧断了。
            A：你要紫外线灯到底有什么用？
            B：嗯，我想晒晒黑，但又没有时间躺在阳光下，只能每天晚上在紫外线灯下躺五分钟。
            A：那不错，只要你不睡着。在这种东西下照一个小时，你就变成灰了。
