Alice: Dogs are nice, but they are really energetic, and you need to make sure they get enough exercise every day.
愛麗絲：小狗很可愛呀，不過它們太好動了，最好每天都能帶它們去遛遛。
Steven: Having a dog would probably be too much work for me, then.
史蒂文：那我恐怕沒那麼多時間養狗了。

Steven: Yeah, are they easy to look after?
史蒂文：不錯，蜥蜴好養嗎？
Alice: Yeah, they are pretty low-maintenance; they eat almost anything.
愛麗絲：嗯，挺好養的，基本上什麼都吃。
