Bobby: I have been trying for over an hour to find something to listen to on the radio.
Kelly: Have you tried the 70s and 80s station?
Bobby: I don't like music from the 1970s.
Kelly: Why not? Music back then was simpler and more fun to listen to.
Bobby: No way. There was too much punk rock back then.
Kelly: But not all music was punk in the 70s. What about disco music?
Bobby: Oh. I had forgotten about disco.
Kelly: I like disco because the words are so stupid that they make me laugh.
Bobby: Find a disco station for me and we can sit here together and laugh our heads off!
鲍比：我已经一个多小时试着从收音机上找到一些（能）听的东西了。
凯利：你有没有试过七八十年代的音乐台？
鲍比：我不喜欢七十年代的音乐。
凯利：为什么不？那时侯的音乐更加简单，而且听起来也更有趣。
鲍比：才不呢！那时的朋克摇滚太多了。
凯利：但是，并不是所有的七十年代的音乐都是朋克。迪斯科音乐怎么样？
鲍比：哦，我都忘了迪斯科（音乐）了。
凯利：我喜欢迪斯科，因为那些歌词是那么愚蠢，以至于让我发笑。
鲍比：（那么），帮我找个迪斯科音乐台，我们可以一起坐在这儿，直到笑得前仰后合！
