Dialogue 2

Inviting a friend to dinner.

Laurance- When can we expect you for dinner? Can you

come tonight?

Soony- Not tonight. I promised to go to a concert with

my sister.

Laurance- Well .... How about Friday then?

Soony- That sounds fine.

Laurance- Good. Shall we say seven o'clock?

Soony- I'll be there! You're still a fabulous cook,

aren't you?

Laurance- That'll be for you to decide. I've got a new dish

that I want to try out on you.

Soony- I'm ready. I think I'll fast all day Friday!

注解:

fabulous=wonderful

try out on you:原意是"以你做试验".

fast:动词,作"禁食"解.
