【答案解析】[解析]
W: We've overspent dreadfully this month.
M: By how much?
W: It looks to me as if it's getting on for almost 400 pounds.
M: Oh, does that mean we won't be able to get our holiday?
W: I honestly don't think that we could afford to go really.
M: But we haven't had a holiday for three years! Just because we can't afford it.
W: That's true.
M: I was really looking forward to this holiday... three weeks in Barbados at Christmas—warmth, sea, sunshine.
W: I know. So was I.
M: Can't we ask your mother for the money? Can't we borrow the money from somewhere for the holiday?
W: Well, You know we're still in debt over the car. And we've always said we wouldn't borrow money for things that weren't absolutely essential. A holiday isn't essential.
M: I really feel it is this time.
W: Well, let's look at cheaper holidays then. Let's look at somewhere closer to home, right. Let's look at Europe.
M: Well, there's no point in going to Europe at Christmas, is there?
W: Well, you said you wanted to get away from the cold here. Well, you only want to go where it's hot and sunny?
M: Yes, I want some warmth.
W: Oh, I think we ought to borrow the money from your mother.
M: I don't want to talk about it anymore. Let's discuss it some other time.
