短文聽讀 Dialogue

  Last night, I had a dream about flying. Actually, it was more of a nightmare, because I am scared of flying. In the dream, I was the only one on board the plane, and it was in total darkness. You would think I would be used to flying by now, as I have to travel a lot for business, but it still terrifies me!

  昨晚,我做了有關搭飛機的夢。事實上,不如說這是場惡夢,因為我很怕搭飛機。在夢裡,我是唯一在飛機上的人,而且一片漆黑。因為我很常到國外出差,你可能會覺得我現在習慣搭飛機了,但這對我來說還是很可怕!
