At Breakfast
 
1--What are your plans for today, Mak? Nick and I are going shopping. Do you want to come too?
 
2--Well, as a matter fact, I'm meeting Steve. He's writing an article and he's asked me to take some photographs for it.
 
1--An article? What about?
 
2--Oh, just people...Anyway, I'm seeing Steve at the zoo, at ten.
 
1--Oh well, let's meet for lunch, shall we? How about that sandwich bar we went to on Friday. I'll see you there about one.

译文：
 
1--你打算今天干什么，马尔克？我和尼克去买东西。你也去吗？
2--不了。我和史蒂夫有约会。他在写一篇文章，让我给他提供几张照片。
1--文章？关于什么的文章？
2--哦，关于人呗...。反正，我10点去动物园和史蒂夫见面。
1--那好吧。我们一起吃午饭好吗？到上星期五我们去的那家三明治快餐店，怎么样？一点左右我在那儿等你。
