A Lili, let’s take a vacation!
莉莉,我们去度假吧!
B George, how can we? Vacations cost money. And this month we don’t have much money left after paying the rent.
乔治,我们怎么去得了?度假要花钱。而这个月我们付清房租后就所剩无几了。
A Well, Lili, we can visit different places in the state in our van. We are not going to take a plane or stay at a hotel this time. Trust me, it won’t cost much.
莉莉,我们可以开微型车在州内逗留不同的地方。这次我们不会坐飞机,也不会住酒店。相信我,不会花多少钱的。
B Where will we sleep, then?
那么,我们睡哪?
A In the van.
睡车内。
B What about other expenses?
其它费用怎么办?
A Let’s see. Gas, food, recreation, we won’t spend much. Come on. Don’t hesitate. We need to get out of the house once in a while. We have been working hard, haven’t we?
我们算算。汽油、食品、娱乐,……我们不会花很多钱。别犹豫了。我们需要偶尔出去一次。我们工作这么努力,不是吗?
B Maybe you’re right. When do you plan to go?
也许你说得对。你计划什么时候去?
A The sooner the better! I can’t wait!
越快越好!我等不及了!
B Oh, I don’t know where we’re going yet.
噢,我还不知道我们去哪里呢。
A As long as we’re going,you can decide where to go. I trust your judgments. I know you miss Chinese food, so we can eat at a Chinese restaurant this time.
只要我们去,你就可以决定我们去哪。 我相信你的判断力。我知道你想吃中国菜,所以这次我们可以去一个中国饭店吃饭。
B Let’s go to Chicago. We can have lunch in Chinatown. Then we can go to a ball game at Wrigley Field!
我们去芝加哥吧。我们可以去唐人街吃午饭。然后我们可以去瑞格蕾球场看一场球赛。
