赖世雄中级美国英语Only the Good Die Young

Diana bumps into her friend, Steve.
D: Hi, Steve! It's awful hot today, isn't it?
S: You can say that again!
D: Let's go kayaking later.
S: Are you kidding? I can't even swim.
D: So what? You'll be safe with a life jacket and a helmet on.
S: What if the kayak capsizes?
D: I'll teach you to \"Eskimo roll.\"
S: What's that?
D: Well, it's a special technique we use to get the kayak upright when it overturns.
S: I don't know… it sounds pretty dangerous.
D: Come on. Don't worry. Only the good die young.
S: What do you mean by that?
D: Just kidding. Let's go. OK?
S: Ok. Anyway, if only the good die young, we'll both probably live to be a hundred.
