6、 Let’s Do Something Different
讓我們換換口味
M: What shall we do this weekend?
W: Did you have something special in mind?
M: No, not really. I just thought it might be fun to do something new.
W: Do something for a change, you mean?
M: Yes, something different. I need a change.
W: I used to go shopping and have my hair done during the weekend.
And you usually watched the football games on TV.
M: Yes, you often have tea with your friends and I sometimes play cards
with my friends. We seldom do anything together. It’s quite unlike when we were first married.
W: Now, I’ve got an idea. Autumn is the best season in Beijing. Why don’t we go for a picnic this weekend? You invite your friends and I invite mine. We’ll go together.
M: Good idea. I would see about the car and you’ll prepare the food. But
are you sure you really want all our friends to come along?

M:我們這個(gè)周末做什么?
W:你有什么特別的想法嗎?
M:還沒有。我只是想做點(diǎn)什么新鮮事。
W:你是說,做點(diǎn)什么別的換換口味?
M:對(duì),做點(diǎn)什么新鮮的,我需要換換口味了。
W:我以前一到周末總是上街購物,去發(fā)廊做頭發(fā)。而你呢,通常是在家看足球賽。
M:是啊,你經(jīng)常和朋友們?nèi)ズ炔?,而我有時(shí)和一些朋友打牌。我們從來沒有一起做過什么事。這跟我們剛結(jié)婚時(shí)可大不一樣。
W:我有主意了。北京的金秋是最好的時(shí)節(jié),我們何不在這個(gè)周末去野餐呢?我們把各自的朋友都請(qǐng)來,一起去。
M:好主意。我解決車的問題,你準(zhǔn)備吃的。你真的希望我們所有的朋友都一起去嗎?
