Ally: How do you kill time at a boring airport?

Andy: I read books so I won’t feel bored.

在机场候机太无聊了，不过Andy读书来“kill time”。“Kill time” 在这里可不是杀死时间，它指的是打发时间，尤其指空闲时消磨时间。

比如说：

Reading magazines will help you kill time when you arewaiting for the medical check-up.

你等待体检时可以阅读杂志来打发时间。

I read an article about 10 ways to kill time.

我读了一篇文章是关于10种消磨时间的方法。

Andy: Ally, what do you think is the most popular way peopleuse to kill time?

Ally: Play with their phones, of course!

哈哈，你是不是也常玩手机来kill time呢？
