Games can relax people, but they can also trap people in the middle...
(i)
P: "Can you help me buy the game later?" ”
H: "Yes, but I have to exercise now." ”
P: "I want to play that game at night, I want a limited edition board." ”
H: "The limited edition board is dozens of knives expensive, why not buy the normal version?" ”
P: "The limited edition board is more energetic and better equipped." ”
H: "Well, I'll help you buy it later." ”
(ii)
H: "Do you want to go play tennis?" ”
S: "When?" ”
H: "Now. ”
S: "Okay, aren't you going to buy the game for P?" ”
H: "I'm not in the mood, we just finished cleaning the kitchen, he got dirty again, I just want to go out for a walk now." Let him buy the game himself. ”
(iii)
P: "You don't have to help me buy the game, I'm going to buy it online." ”
H: "You go out for five minutes and buy it in the JB Hi-Fi store, you can save twenty or thirty knives, why not go to the store and buy it?" ”
P: "I don't want to go out. ”
H: "Why waste money?" ”
(iv)
P: "Where are you?" ”
H: "I was on my way to play tennis with S. ”
P: "I'm just trying to make sure you're going to buy me a game." ”
H: "I'm not sure, I want to finish tennis first." ”
P: "Then you don't have to buy it for me, I buy it online now." ”
Obviously, P can go to the store to buy games by himself in a few minutes by car, and he has to let his roommate H buy games for him! And P himself spent the morning in the bedroom, playing games with his girlfriend...
