國中英語基測出現過 scared 的考題。

Alec: So, what do you think about it?

Ellie: It’s…interesting.

Alec: Oh, no, don’t say that.

Ellie: The first thing you should know about Olivia is that she’s scared of anything with six legs. I don’t think she’ll be able to walk past the gate of Buzzing World.

Alec: But she loves butterflies! Well, she loved the photos of butterflies I took last time I was there.

Ellie: Only when they’re not moving.

Alec: Fine. I’ll just take her somewhere else, and that’d be OK. Right?

Ellie: Umm, you’re taking her to Wavelength for dinner?

Alec: What’s wrong with that?!

Ellie: I wouldn’t say a dead fish is really her idea of a nice dinner, and this restaurant sells seafood…

Alec: Now you’re wrong about this one. She loved my mom’s fish balls. She had several last time!

Ellie: OK, let’s ask someone else. Oh, there’s Lori. Hey, Lori, could you look at Alec’s plan? He’s taking Olivia out.

Lori: Wow! Everything’s written down on paper! Hmmm… I thought you wanted her to be your girlfriend.

Alec: I do!

Lori: If you follow this plan, I’m sure it’ll be your only date with her.
