潘颖：喂，你好!
汉生：喂，潘颖，我是汉生。
潘颖：老同学，怎么是你啊?好长时间没联系了!
汉生：是啊。我现在在大连呢!用公用电话给你打的。
潘颖：啊?!我都没注意这个号码是大连的!你怎么来大连了?
汉生：我是专门来看望老同学你的，顺便出个差。
潘颖：你少来这一套啊，别说得那么好听。你肯定是来出差，顺便找我蹭个饭。
汉生：哈哈!这都被你看出来了!
潘颖：那当然!行了，不开玩笑了。你能来大连真是太好了!什么时候到的?在大连待几天?
汉生：我今天早上刚到，晚上就得走。
潘颖：那么急!好不容易来了，多待两天吧，我带你到处转转。
汉生：我也想多待两天玩一玩，但还有别的事，必须得赶紧回去。
潘颖：什么事那么着急啊?你就多住一天，明天回去不行吗?
汉生：身不由己，实在没办法啊!以后有机会我再来。
潘颖：你这时间真是够紧张的。可是不管怎么说，咱们总得见个面吧。
汉生：我大概五点左右能把事情办完，晚上九点半的火车。如果你时间方便的话，咱们就见个面、叙叙旧。
潘颖：正好我也五点下班，咱们可以一起吃晚饭。我请你吃大餐，来到大连一定得尝尝这里的海鲜。
汉生：呵呵， 千万别客气啊!咱们随便吃点就行，最重要的是说说话。
潘颖：你才别跟我客气呢!你得让我尽一下地主之谊啊!
汉生：好好好，那我就恭敬不如从命了。
潘颖：那这样，你五点办完正事以后就直接打车去星海广场，咱们在那里碰面，然后在附近的饭店吃饭，吃完饭在海边走一走，看看大连的夜景，八点半左右我就送你去车站。怎么样?
汉生：好的，一切听你的安排。
潘颖：那咱们到时电话联系!
汉生：好的，晚上见!
Pan Ying: Hello!
Han Sheng: Hi, Pan Ying. Han Sheng here.
Pan Ying: Hi, buddy, it’s you. I haven’t heard of you for a long time.
Han Sheng: Yeah. I’m in Da Lian now. I call you by a public telephone.
Pan Ying: What? I haven’t noticed that number is Da Lian’s number. Why did you come to Da Lian.
Han Sheng: Pay you a visit on purpose. And then for a business without extra effort.
Pan Ying: Come on. It’s not true. You must be on business. And ask me for a dinner without extra effort.
Han Sheng: Wow. You see me.
Pan Ying: Of course. Ok. I’m joking. It’s so great you’re in Da Lian. When did you arrive? And how long will you stay here?
Han Sheng: I arrive here this morning. And I will leave this evening.
Pan Ying: So short stay. It’s not easy for you to come here. Why not stay for another few days? I will show you around.
Han Sheng: I would rather to stay here for a few days. But there are something else waiting for me. I need to go back as soon as possible.
Pan Ying: How urgent. You stay here for one more day, ok?
Han Sheng: It’s not of my own will. I have no choice. But I think i have the chance to come back again.
Pan Ying: You schedule is so full. Anyway, we should have a meet.
Han Sheng: I will finish my job at about five. And my train is half past nine. If you have time, let’s have a meet and chat together.
Pan Ying: I will finish my job at five too. We can have dinner together. I invite you sumptuous food. You should have a taste of Da Lian’s seafood.
Han Sheng: Well, don’t treat me as a guest. Dinner is not that important than chatting with you.
Pan Ying: You are not my guest. You should let me perform the duties of the host.
Han Sheng: Ok, ok, ok. Obedience is better than politeness.
Pan Ying: Then, you take a taxi to Hai Xing plaza as soon as you finish your job at five. We will meet there. And find a restaurant to have dinner. After dinner we have a walk along the sea side. Have a look at Da Lian’s night view. I will send you to the station at about half past eight. Ok?
Han Sheng: Ok. I will follow your arrangement.
Pan Ying: Then we will keep in touch by phone.
Han Sheng: Ok. See you tonight.
