    乐乐:汉生,干什么去?    汉生:和几个朋友去唱KTV。    乐乐:别玩太晚了,明天一早还得去爬山。    汉生:爬山?爬什么山?    乐乐:登山俱乐部的周末活动啊!明天爬香山。不是飞信通知了吗?你忘啦?    汉生:我用的是联通的手机号,没有飞信,没收到通知。以前不都是发邮件通知吗?    乐乐:可能是因为这次活动确定得比较晚,临时发通知,担心大家不能及时查看邮件,所以就飞信通知了。幸亏今天遇到了我,不然你就错过明天的活动了。    汉生:可是我听天气预报说明天有寒流,会大幅降温。    乐乐:降温有什么好怕的?冷点儿才好呢,正好爬山暖和暖和。    汉生:不光降温,还有可能下雪呢!    乐乐:真的吗?要是真能下雪就太好了!我还从没在雪中登过山呢,一定别有一番风味!就当作是登"雪山"了。    汉生:还好呢!下雪天爬山多危险啊!估计到时候活动就得取消了。    乐乐:不用担心。虽然我们是业余爱好者,但平时也接受了不少专业培训,这种天气还应付得来,而且俱乐部里有很多经验丰富的登山高手,他们会考虑到各种状况,做出周全安排的。     汉生:可是不怕一万就怕万一啊,我觉得还是不要冒这个险比较好。    乐乐:你就放心吧,不会有问题的!你胆子什么时候变得这么小了?    汉生:这不是胆小,是谨慎。我是为大家的安全着想。    乐乐:我看是你自己不想去吧?    汉生:想去倒是想去,可惜我之前没看到通知,已经有其他安排了。    乐乐:那你明天干什么去?    汉生:我和几个朋友骑车去北海公园,我们要在湖边来一场自行车比赛。    乐乐:啊?那不是更危险吗?    汉生:怕什么?明天又不一定会下雪。我先走了,拜拜!     LL: Han Sheng, what's up?
HS: I'm meeting some friends for a karaoke session.
LL: Don't sing too late into the night, we're going hiking first thing tomorrow morning.
HS: Hiking? Where?
LL: It's a weekend activity organized by the Hiking Club. Tomorrow we're going hiking at Fragrance Hill. Didn't you get the message via Fetion? Have you forgotten about it already?
HS: I'm using a Unicom handphone number. It doesn't support Fetion IM, so I didn't get any message. I thought they used to inform us via email?
LL: Maybe it's because this activity was planned at the last minute. If they informed us via email, some might not be able to see it in time, so they used Fetion IM instead. Luckily you bumped into me today, otherwise you'd have missed out on tomorrow's activity.
HS: But the weather report forecasts that there will be a cold front coming through tomorrow. It'll cause a sharp drop in temperature.
LL: What's so worrying about a drop in temperature? It's good that the air can be cooler; we'll be getting warm from hiking, just nice.
HS: It's not just a drop in temperature, snow is also expected.
LL: Really? It'll be great if it really snows! I've never hiked in the snow, it's bound to have a distinctive charm! Just pretend you're hiking a snowy hill.
HS: Great? Hiking on a snowy day is so dangerous! I foresee that they'll call it off when the time comes.
LL: Don't worry, Although we're just amateurs, but we've received considerable training from experts, we can still cope with such weather. Moreover, the club has many experienced hiking masters. They'll think these things through and take appropriate measures.
HS: But there's a saying, "Err on the side of caution". I think it's better not to take the risk.
LL: Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Since when have you become a coward?
HS: I'm not a coward, I'm just being cautious. I'm just thinking of everyone's safety.
LL: Are you thinking of not going?
HS: Actually I do want to go, it's too bad I didn't receive any prior notice, I already have other plans for tomorrow.
LL: What are you up to tomorrow?
HS: I'm cycling to Beihai park with a few friends. We're having a bicylce racing competition by the lakeside.
LL: Huh? Isn't that even more dangerous?
HS: It's not necessarily going to snow tomorrow so what's there to worry about? I have to go now, see you!
