生活英语情景口语:假期艳遇

N: how was your holiday to Cyprus?
O: it was so fantastic I didn’t really want to come home.
N: did you happen to meet someone?
O: how did you know?
N: you always act like this when you’ve fallen in love. Who is he? How did you meet?
O: his name is Tony and we met my first night in Pathos¹. He works with my sister who lives there.
N: was it love at first sight?
O: not really. I wasn’t looking for a holiday romance², but my sister told me that she had promised him that she’d set him up on blind date with me. I didn’t think I’d have anything to lose, so I went.
N: and?
O: let’s just say that by the third date, we both realized that we had fallen in love.
N: that happened quickly! Are you going to see him again?
O: luckily, his company has a position available here, so he’s going to see if he can get relocated.
N: it sounds like he is madly in love with you. Are you ready for such a serious relationship?
O: well, I’m not really a spring chicken anymore. We don’t know what will happen, so we’ll just have to wait and see!

在塞浦路斯独家玩的怎么样？
特别好，我都不想回来了。
有没有邂逅什么人？
你怎么知道的？
你每次谈恋爱都像现在这样。他是谁？你们怎么认识的？
他叫托尼，是我在佩瑟斯的头一个晚上认识的。我姐姐住在那儿，他是我姐姐的同事。
你们俩是一见钟情吗？
不算是。我本来并没有打算寻求一段假期艳遇。但是我姐姐说她以前答应过他，要介绍我们约个会认识一下彼此。我觉得自己也不会有什么损失，就去了。
后来呢？
话说到了第三次约会，我们2个都意识到已经爱上对方了。
进展神速啊！那你以后还能再见到他吗？
幸运的是他们公司在咱们这有个职位空缺。如果他们能够重新调配一下人手的话，他就能来看我了。
听起来他似乎已经疯狂地爱上你了。你对这份感情是认真的吗？
嗯，我可不是纯真天真的小女生了。谁也不敢断定以后的事，还是走一步看一步吧。
