Dialogue 3 B(Ben)无所事事地在游泳池中漂流,A对他这种颓废的表现十分不满:

A: Ben, what are you doing?

B: Well, I would say that I'm just drifting ---- here, in the pool.

A: Why?

B: Well, it's very comfortable just to drift here.

A: Have you thought about graduate school?

B: No.

A: Would you mind telling me then — what were those four years of college for? What was the point of all that hard work?

B: You got me.

A: Now listen, Ben. Look, I think it's a very good thing that a young man — after he's done some very good work — should have a chance to relax and enjoy himself, and lie around, and drink beer and so on. But after a few weeks I believe that person would want to take some stock in himself and his situation and start to think about getting off his ass.
