Nancy: Hello there! Hello! 
南希：那位，你好！你好！
Eric: Hello. 
艾瑞克：你好。
Nancy: I’m Nancy, your neighbor across the street. You’re new to the neighborhood. 
南希：我是南希，街对面的邻居。对邻里来说，你是新来的。
Eric: Yes, I just moved in last weekend. 
艾瑞克：是的，上周末我刚搬来。
Nancy: That’s nice. How are you settling in? 
南希：那很好，搬进来住得怎么样？
Eric: Fine, thanks. 
艾瑞克：很好，谢谢。
Nancy: Would you like to come over and have a cup of coffee? I can give you the scoop on the neighborhood and give you some tips on places to go and things to do in this area. 
南希：你愿意过来喝杯咖啡吗？我可以给你关于邻居的独家消息，给你一些建议关于在这块区域有哪些地方可以去，有哪些事能做。
Eric: Thanks, but I’m kind of busy right now. I’ll take a rain check. 
艾瑞克：谢谢，但是现在我有点忙，改天再拜访吧。
Nancy: No problem. Stop by anytime. We have quite a few social events in the area that you might be interested in. 
南希：没问题，随时欢迎来做客。这一地区有很多社交活动，也许你会感兴趣。
Eric: I’m not much of a joiner. I tend to keep to myself. 
艾瑞克：我不太喜欢交际，我还是不与人交往、独立自处吧。
Nancy: Oh, but we couldn’t let you do that. I’m appointing myself your new social secretary. As a new resident in a small town, you should know that everyone will want to meet you. You’ll be inundated with invitations. I can help you sort them out. 
南希：噢，但是我们不会让你那样做的。我自命为你的社交秘书。作为小城镇的新居民，你应该知道每个人都想见见你。你会收到很多邀请，我会帮你分类整理。
Eric: I appreciate your offer, but if I have to fend off neighbors, I’ll do it myself. 
艾瑞克：非常感激你的帮助，但是如果我需要应付邻居，我会自己处理的。
Nancy: Well, suit yourself. I don’t recommend turning down too many invitations or you’ll get a reputation for being a recluse. 
南希：好吧，随你的便。我不建议你拒绝太多的邀请，否则你就会落个隐士的名声。
Eric: That’s okay with me. I’d rather not be the subject of talk among the busybodies. 
艾瑞克：那样对我来说还好，我不想成为爱管闲事人的谈论的话题人物。
Nancy: Busybodies! Well, some people! 
南希：爱管闲事的人！呃，只是有些人！
