Gucci: May, we are fools to hang out at noon. It's dying hot today. My skin is too weak to be exposed under the summer sun.

May: Do you have any sunscreen lotion?

Gucci: You know, honey, I used it all on the way over.

May: I think I'm getting a heart stroke.

Gucci: The heat is driving crazy and I hate my new hat.

May: Why? It's brand new, and it's perfect on you.

Gucci: But I bought it to get rid of the heat. Now it does nothing but burning my head.

May: Beauty costs, honey.

Gucci: Laugh all you want, whatever. We need to get out of the heat.

May: Walking under the sun is certainly not the way.

Gucci: Give me a break. It's not funny.

May: Right. Sorry. Anyway, the radio said that it'll rain later today.

Gucci: Hope so! Good thing is that autumn is just around the corner.

古奇：阿美，我们选择中午出来逛街，真是不明智，今天太热了。我的皮肤很敏感，不能暴露在夏天烈日下。

阿美：你有防晒霜吗？

古奇：亲爱的，你该知道，我一路上都在用啊。

阿美：我的心脏都快受不了了。

古奇：酷热要把我逼疯了，而且我讨厌我的新帽子。

阿美：为什么？它是全新的，而且你戴着很漂亮。

古奇：但是我买它是为了防晒的，现在除了让我的头感觉像火烧之外，它什么也没做。

阿美：亲爱的，美丽是要付出代价的。

古奇：只管笑吧！不过我们真的要避避暑。

阿美：在太阳下走肯定不是个办法。

古奇：饶了我吧。一点都不好玩。

阿美：好的。对不起啦。不管怎么说，广播说今天晚一点会下雨的。

古奇：希望如此！还好秋天就快要来了。

经典背诵 Recitation
Gucci: I'm Gucci. I don't like summer because it's always too hot. And my skin is also too delicate to be exposed under the summer sun. I use sunscreen lotion for protection. But it takes a lot of time to put it on all over. And this is not so fun.

注释
1.It's dying hot day.

这里的dying并不是“死”的意思，而是作为副词来修饰后面的形容hot,表示程度很大，中文也有相似的表达：“我饿死了。”（当然谁也不会死。）

2.Beauty costs.

这里是阿美开古奇的玩笑时的幽默表达，因为前文中提到古奇新买的帽子，看着漂亮，其实却特别热。中文中我们也常说的相似表达有：“要风度不要温度”。
