场景：

小华和小红在宿舍闲聊，“你无聊的时候会干嘛？”，她们聊得正欢，结果看到有的人无聊却做了违法的勾当。

Xiaohong：Hey, Xiaohua. What would you do if you are bored?

小红：嘿，小华。你无聊的时候你想做什么？

Xiaohua：Well, binge-watch Aiqiyi shows with bags of chips. What about you?

小华：嗯，吃薯片，刷爱奇艺。你呢？

Xiaohong：Physical exercise is important for both physical and mental health. I'd like to go swimming or running. And reading also helps me build my vocabulary and semantic comprehension.

小红：体育锻炼对身心健康都很重要。我游泳或跑步。阅读还能帮助我扩充词汇量，帮助我理解语义。

Xiaohua：You are not a boring person, but why are some people so boring?

小华：你不是个无聊的人，但是为什么有些人那么无聊呢？

Xiaohong：Because they don't have any hobbies.

小红：因为他们没有兴趣爱好呀。

Xiaohua：Absolutely. I was wondering how rich people avoid being boring persons.

小华：那当然！我想搞清楚富人是如何避免成为无聊的人的。

Xiaohong：Sometimes being rich and bored may cause problems.

小红：有时候有钱和无聊会有问题。

Xiaohua：How come?

小华：为什么？

Xiaohong：It's reported that in Linyi, East China's Shangdong Province, a watermelon farmer called the police after he found a large number of watermelons had been stolen from his greenhouse. According to the current market price, this caused a loss of about 2000 Yuan for the farmer.

小红：据说，在山东省东部的临沂市，一名种植西瓜的农民发现自家大棚里的西瓜大量被盗，于是报了警。按照目前的市场价格，这给农民造成了约2000元的损失。

Xiaohua：So they stole the watermelons out of boredom? Wow, they are boring persons.

小华：所以他们偷西瓜是由于他们无聊吗？哇，他们好无聊。
