W: My gosh, Patrick. Where are we?
M: Jessica, I’m taking you mountain climbing.
W: Mountain climbing? This is scary!
M: Don’t worry. I’m an expert mountain climber. I am as steady on these steep slopes as a mountain goat.
W: You just smell like a mountain goat.
M: Stop complaining. We’re about to reach the crux (核心,中心) of the climb.
W: What is the crux of the climb?
M: Actually, the crux of something is the most difficult or important part.
W: Right, Patrick. I’m coming.
M: Oh, my gosh! You fell off the side of the cliff (悬崖,峭壁)! Jessica, are you OK?
W: Patrick, please pull me back up. Hurry!
M: Wow, you’re hanging off the side of the cliff! This is going to be a real cliff hanger (悬念). Do you know what that means?
W: Patrick, it’s not time for English teaching! Help me!
M: One second. A cliff hanger is when a chapter of a movie or book ends without a resolution.
W: Patrick, hurry! Help!
M: Don’t worry, Jessica! Please hold on!
W: Oh, it’s dangerous just now. I almost fell off!
M: Yeah, Jessica, that was a close call! You almost fell off the side of a cliff. It’s a good thing for you that I was able to pull you back to safety.
W: Thanks a lot. You saved my life. And it’s a good thing for you too!
M: I saved you because I was afraid if you were going to fall, you were planning to take me with you.
W: That’s it. Well, thanks all the same.
M: Well, that’s what friends are for, right? What happened? Did you slip on the ice?
W: Yeah, when I was walking on thin ice, the ice suddenly cracked (破裂,裂开), and then I fell down.
M: Walking on thin ice? You know, that’s an English expression.
W: Patrick, this is not a good time to teach English.
M: Why not?
W: Because you’re very close to the edge of the cliff.
M: Just hear me out. When you say someone is walking on thin ice, it means that he is in a risky situation.
W: Oh, Patrick! As you have taught me so many expressions, I’ll teach you one—out of left field.
M: Right, that phrase comes from baseball, and means that something came as a complete surprise.
W: Bingo. I’ll give you a surprise right now. Let’s say goodbye to each other here.
M: Well, Jessica, we are going to say goodbye here?
W: Yes.
M: Where are you going?
W: Travel the world.
M: Can I come with you?
W: I don’t need an English teacher to be with me.
