Getting a Tan 曬曬黑
    A: What have you got there?
    B: It's my sun lamp. I'm taking it down to the electric shop to be fixed. There's something wrong with the wiring, It blows fuses whenever I plug it in.
    A: What in the world do you need a sun lamp for?
    B: Well, I want to get a tan and I haven't time to lie in the sun, so I lie under the sun lamp every night for five minutes.
    A: That's finr, as long as you don't fall asleep. An hour under one of those things and you'd be just a cinder.
