LH: Larry, 周末在公园里走走，真舒服啊！
L: Normally I would agree with you Lihua, but when it's 100 degrees out like it is today, I might prefer my air-conditioned apartment。
LH: 天是够热的。不过你知足吧，起码今天公园里人不多，难得这么清静！
L: That's true. It may be hot, but if we look on the bright side, the park isn't crowded at all。
LH: Look on the bright side? 这是什么意思？
L: Lihua, when you look on the bright side, you try to see something good in a bad situation。
LH: 哦，on the bright side就是从好的方面讲。你是说，虽然今天天气很热，但是从好的方面看，正因为天热，人们都不愿意出来，所以公园里才会这么清静。
L: Right! Here is another example. There is supposed to be a big rain storm later today, but looking on the bright side, that will help cool down the weather。
LH: 哦，今天晚上可能会下大雨，可是从好的方面看，这可以让气温降下来，天气能凉快些！
L: You got it!
LH: 对了，Larry，天这么热，你干嘛穿长衣长裤啊？
L: Yeah, I am pretty hot in these clothes. But on the bright side, I won't get a sunburn。
LH: 老土！ 你不知道世界上有种东西叫防晒霜么？
L: Very funny. Yes I do, but on the bright side, I can save a little money by wearing long clothes instead。
LH: 可是Larry, 你们美国人不是喜欢把皮肤晒得黑黑的么？你干嘛要把自己捂起来呢？
L: Yes, lots of Americans like to get a tan in the summer, but there is a really big downside: skin cancer。
LH: A downside?
L: That's right. If you want to point out something bad about a situation, you can tell people to consider the downside。
