成人英语三级阅读理解(55)

Thirty minutes later, at the Laundromat
Wei: I brought Paul's clothes, too. He's sleeping.
Trev: It looks like it's just you and me, alone at last.
Wei: Don't get any ideas. I also brought a book to read.
Trev: Before you get to that, help me separate the whites from the colors.
Wei: You're so careful. I never do this at home.
Trev: How do you stop the colors from bleeding?
Wei: Cold water. They don't bleed, unless they're cheap hippy clothes from Thailand.
Trev: Cold water? They'll never get clean that way.

三十分钟，在自助洗衣店
小薇：我把保罗的衣服也带来了。他在睡觉。
崔佛：看来就只剩你跟我了，我们终于独处了。
小薇：别胡思乱想。我也带了书来看。
崔佛：在你看书前，帮我把白色跟有颜色的衣服分开。
小薇：你太小心了。我在家从没这么做。
崔佛：你如何避免衣服泡在水里褪色？
小薇：冷水。衣服在冷水中不会褪色，除非是泰国买的廉价嬉皮装。
崔佛：冷水？那样衣服永远都洗不干净。
