【英语时差8,16】关于约会的故事

Announcer: Day ten. Frankie and Rose are at the zoo. Frankie: I’m going to tell you quietly while Rose has gone to buy an ice cream. We’re in the middle of our third date! I guess you can say we’re dating now… I think she really loves coming here to see my gorilla¹ friends too! Announcer: Day 26. Frankie and Rose are at the Formula One racetrack. Rose: Well you know, we’d been seeing each other for a few weeks and finally we started going somewhere apart from the zoo. You know, I think you could say we’re going out now. Announcer: Day 50. Frankie and Rose are at the supermarket. Frankie: Well guess what. We’re actually going steady. Rose has accepted my love for gorillas² and I have grown to enjoy Formula One racing³. Rose, can you pick up another bunch of bananas for little Gordon? Rose: Sure. There you are Gordon.
