A: There are quite a few buskers in this park. That guy on the trumpet is quite good.
B: Yeah, he looks like a cool guy with that cap on, accompanying the jazz playing over his amplifier.
A: He’s got quite a lot of people around him, listening.

B: They’re not listening. They’re just looking at that kid. He looks absolutely transfixed by the music. And that man is just texting on his phone.
A: How do you know that man isn’t texting his friends to get them to rush over and check the busker out?
A: 這公園裡有好幾個街頭藝人,這個吹小號的人表演得蠻不錯。
B: 對呀,他戴上那個帽子,再搭配擴音器放出來的爵士樂就很酷。
A: 有蠻多人圍著他聽音樂。
B: 那些人才不是在聽音樂。他們只是在看那個小孩,這音樂好像讓那個小孩目瞪口呆。而且那個人只是在用手機打簡訊。
A: 你怎麼知道那個人不是在傳簡訊給朋友,叫他們趕快來看這街頭藝人表演?
