2-- Dogs are nice, but they are really energetic, and you need to make sure they get enough exercise every day.
1-- Having a dog would probably be too much work for me, then.
2-- What about cats? They are more independent.
1-- Actually, I was thinking of something a little more exotic. I don't want a common pet like a dog or a cat.
2-- How about a lizard? Are lizards more along the lines of what you were thinking of getting?
1-- Yeah, are they easy to look after?
2-- Yeah, they are pretty low-maintenance; they eat almost anything.
===================================
注解:
1.energetic精力充沛的
2.independent獨立的
3.low-maintenance無須費神(或費力)的
