和老外聊天的地道口语第24期:让我们重温蜜月旅

Jerry: What a nice day!

Monica: yes. How about going out and enjoying the sunshine on the grass?

J: great, let's go!

M: hey, darling, I think I might have a little heatstroke from being in the sun all day. I was so relaxed. It felt as if I were in another world.

J: exactly. You know, the sunshine and wind remind me of our honeymoon¹. You remember? The island, the sound of the waves, the salty sea air and the sunshine...

M: yes, it was wonderful but it's already been a year. How time flies!

J: why not go again to celebrate out one-year anniversary²? We can go to the same beach, stay in the same hotel and enjoy a dinner in the same restaurant.

M: are you kidding? Can you afford it? Do you think we can get a room on such short notice?

J: never mind that, I'll take care of it. Are you available next week?

M: yeah, I think so.

J: ok. I'll make the arrangements. It will be great.

M: wonderful! I'll start packing our suitcases.
天气真好啊!
是啊，去草坪晒晒太阳吧。
好主意，走！
亲爱的，晒了一天，我好像都有点晕了。真是放松啊，好像在世外桃源一样。
对啊，这样的阳光和微风让我想起了咱们度蜜月的时候了。还记得吗？那个小岛，海浪声，咸咸的空气，明媚的阳光…
嗯，那段日子真是开心，不知不觉已经过去一年了，时间过得真快啊.
对了，要不再去玩一次，庆祝结婚一周年吧，还是去同样的海滩，同样的旅馆，同样的餐馆!
真的吗，咱们的预算够吗？而且这么仓促能订到房间吗？
没问题，交给我吧，你下周有空吧？
嗯，有空。
我来安排吧，一定会很好玩的！
太好了！我来收拾行李。
