Aiste: Hello, this is Aiste and Christophe. I'm from Lithuania and Christophe is from Belgium. And our question now is ... what chores do you hate doing? So, Christophe, what chores are very unpleasant for you?

艾斯蒂：大家好，這裏是艾斯蒂和克里斯托夫。我來自立陶宛，克里斯托夫來自比利時。我們要討論的問題是，你討厭做的家務是什麼？克里斯托夫，哪種家務是令你討厭的家務？

Christophe: I don't like doing dishes. I hate doing dishes.

克里斯托夫：我不喜歡洗碗。我討厭洗碗。

Aiste: Really, I didn't know that. Well, as about me, I really don't like washing windows. I think that takes a lot of time and the windows get bad dirty anytime after it rains and of course I like very nice and clean windows but washing them is really unpleasant.

艾斯蒂：真的嗎？這我真不知道。至於我，我真的很不喜歡擦窗戶。我認爲那要花很多時間，而且下雨後窗戶就會變得很髒，當然我喜歡漂亮又幹淨的窗戶，可是擦窗戶真的令人不舒服。

Christophe: That's why I do it for you.

克里斯托夫：所以我才幫你擦窗戶。

克里斯托夫：我擦窗戶，你洗碗。

Aiste: Not always. Dishes is every day.

艾斯蒂：不一定。每天都要洗碗。

Christophe: OK, we have a deal then.

克里斯托夫：好，那我們就這麼定了。

Aiste: No.

艾斯蒂：不行。
