ESL Podcast 879 – Saying No(在线收听

   Liang: I have a favor to ask.

 
  Christian: Uh oh, what is it?
 
  Liang: I’m doing a project for my class in culinary school and I need a volunteer to taste some of my creations.
 
  Christian: Not on your life.
 
  Liang: But, why?
 
  Christian: You don’t remember the last time I was your guinea pig? I was sick for two days.
 
  Liang: That was a stroke of bad luck. Come on, please.
 
  Christian: Count me out. No amount of pleading is going to change my mind. I bet I’m not the first person you’ve asked.
 
  Liang: Well, no.
 
  Christian: Who else has turned you down?
 
  Liang: Jacob said no.
 
  Christian: I bet he said something stronger than no.
 
  Liang: He said that he would let me cook food for him over his dead body.
 
  Christian: That’s what I thought. Did you ask Mele, too?
 
  Liang: Yes, and she said she’d rather not.
 
  Christian: Who’s next on your list of victims, I mean candidates?
 
  Liang: You’re my last resort. If you won’t do it, then I’m sunk.
 
  Christian: The answer is still no, but I know someone who won’t turn up his nose at your cooking.
 
  Liang: Who?
 
  Christian: Come here, Fido!
