地道美语听力播客:In a Rut
时间：2019-01-28 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Woman: What do you want to do tonight?
Man: I don't know. What do you want to do?
W: I have no idea. Do you think we're in a rut?
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, we do the same things every weekend. We go to the same restaurants. We see the same friends. You know what I mean?
M: Yeah, I guess you're right. It's easy to get bogged 1 down in the day to day, and forget to change things up once in a while. Let's break out and do some thing completely different tonight.
W: Okay, I'll look in the events section of the paper to see what's going on tonight. Hmm, we could go to a concert. There is a good one tonight. I bet it's not sold out. But, we'll have to drive an hour to the venue 2.
M: An hour? That's a bit of a bummer. Let me take a peek 3 and see what else there is. How about going dancing? We haven't done that in a while. There's a club in Silver Lake that's supposed to be hopping 4 on Friday nights. Eddie from work told me that they have a really good DJ and a big dance floor, and the cover charge isn't bad.
W: I'm not really in the mood for dancing, actually. You know what? I just feel like staying home tonight and vegging, after all. How about you?
M: Yeah, I was hoping you’d say that. It's nice to have the option to go out but I’d rather stay in. Maybe we can go out tomorrow night.
W: Yeah, definitely, tomorrow night.
