抵达会场
G: This is a very nice place. You are such a lucky dog! H: Glad you like it. Come on in! Can I take your coat? G: Sure, thanks. Should I take my shoes off? H: Whatever you prefer. Make yourself at home! G: Thanks! And meet my date Sherlock Homes! H: Sherlock as always. 到主人家做客,见面时会有一些寒暄。既然是参加“暖房派对”,可以简单就新房子说几句溢美之词。要注意lucky dog要翻译成“幸运儿”,而不是“幸运狗”。Make yourself at home是主人常说的话,意在让客人不要拘束,像在自己家里一样。Date在此指陪自己参加派对的人,多是男(女)朋友。 |
