如何選擇一件有意義的禮物送給朋友
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Jessica is going back to Holland next week. I've been thinking a lot about what to give her as a parting gift, but I still have no clue.
 
杰西卡下周就要回荷蘭了,我一直在想該選個東西作為分別的禮物,但是還沒有頭緒.
 
B: is that the girl you spent almost every weekend with?
 
是那個你幾乎每周都和她在一起的女孩嗎?
 
A: yeah, that's her. We had a lot of wonderful times together. She is really a special friend, and I want to get her something meaningful.
 
嗯,就是她.我們在一起有過很多快樂的時光.她是一個很特別的朋友,我想送給她一件有意義的禮物.
 
B: I am not good at picking gifts. Maybe you can ask if there's anything she needs to make it easier?
 
我也不太會挑禮物.要不你先問問她想要什么,這樣就能容易點兒?
 
A: I don't think so. That way it would lose all the charm. I want it to be a surprise. I want to show her that I care about her and I hope our friendship will last.
 
不要這樣,否則就沒有意思了.我想給她個驚喜,想讓她知道我很珍惜她,希望我們的友誼能夠持久.
 
B: yeah, that's nice.
 
嗯,這樣不錯.
 
A: hmm, I think I've got an idea. Maybe I can get her an ever-green plant to take back home.
 
我有主意了.或許我可以送給她一盆長青的植物帶回家去.
 
B: a plant? That's creative. I'm sure ever time she waters it she'll think of you. But there is a problem. Do you think it'll be able to go through the customs?
 
一盆植物?挺有創(chuàng)意的,我相信她澆水的時候總能想起你.但是有一個問題,你覺得植物能過海關(guān)嗎?
 
A: I hope so. I'll make sure to get a small one so she can put it into her suitcase. I hope it won't cause her trouble at the border.
 
希望吧.我會選個小的,這樣她就能放在箱子里面了,我不想過海關(guān)的時候給她惹麻煩.
 
B: I don't know. I think the idea of a plant going across borders with a friend is really exciting but maybe seeds would be safer. You don't want to get her in trouble.
 
不清楚.我覺得送朋友植物,帶著它穿越國界,這想法本身就讓人特別興奮.但是可能種子會更安全一些吧,你畢竟不想給她帶來麻煩.
