Tom:Do you mind if I smoke here?
Jane:Yes, I do. I’d prefer you didn’t. The AC (air-conditioning) is also on.
Tom:Can I just turn off the AC for now and open the window and smoke indoors?
Jane:That’s not a very good idea. It’s quite hot outside. Why don’t you smoke outside?
Tom: It’s very hot and that’s why I’d like to smoke inside.
Jane:Though the AC has the air-purifying function. I’d still rather have fresh air than smoke. Are you okay with that?
Tom:Oh, no problem.

珍妮:尽管冷气有空气净化的功能,不过我宁愿要新鲜空气而不是烟味,你不介意吧?
汤姆:喔,没问题
