【英语时差8,16】首次约会-上

Waiter: A table for one, Madame? Jean: No, erm, for two. I'm expecting someone. Waiter: Of course. Here we are. Jean: Thanks. Waiter: Excuse me. Something to drink in the meantime, Madame? Jean: Yes, oh, sorry. Yes. I'll have a glass of water, please. Phone rings Jean:Hello? Finn: Hi Jean. How's it going? Jean: I'm waiting for the guy to show up. He's a bit late now. Finn: Oh yeah, you're on that date aren't you? Don't worry, he'll show up. Jean: I'm wondering if he's having second thoughts.Maybe I should have suggested a better place to meet. Where do British people normally go on a first date? Finn: Funny you should ask that, Jean. I have some recordings¹ of Londoners here answering that very question. Now let's listen to these. Where would you go on a first date? A bar, not a restaurant. You don’t want to have to deal with eating on a first date. What do you order, so many things to think about. So now I think definitely a couple of drinks would be nice.
