A Dinner Date 晚餐約會

英文會話

Archi: Hi Daniel! Sorry, I’m a bit late. I was stuck in a traffic jam. Did I keep you waiting?

Daniel: Oh no, never mind. I just arrived too. How have you been recently? It seems like you’ve been really busy. I can see dark circles under your eyes.

Archi: Yeah, I have been as busy as a bee. But you know what? Efforts will eventually pay off. The project I’ve been working on was well-received.

Daniel: Wow, congratulations! I’m really happy for you. I knew you could do it. I still remember how apprehensive and anxious you were while you were preparing for it.

Archi: Thank you. Yeah, you could see how stressful I was; I even had nightmares about the project failing. I really worked hard on it, so I hoped to have good results.

Daniel: Now a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. You can finally relax.

Archi: Certainly. I am planning to give myself a small trip as a reward. I was so worn out in the past few weeks.

Daniel: Guess what? To congratulate you, you can order anything on the menu. Dinner is on me!

Archi: Thanks Daniel. You are too good to me. Let’s see what is the most expensive……

Daniel: Please forget what I just said.

阿奇:嗨!丹尼爾。對不起,我有點遲到。我剛才被卡在車陣裡。我有讓你等到嗎?

丹尼爾:哦不,不用在意,我也才剛到。你最近過得如何?你最近看起來很忙碌,我看到你眼下的黑眼圈了。

阿奇:是啊,我忙得像一隻蜜蜂。但你知道嗎?努力終究會得到回報的。我一直在處理的計劃廣受好評。

丹尼爾:哇!恭喜你!我真替你感到開心。我就知道你做得到。我還記得你當時準備的時候有多擔心跟焦慮。

阿奇:謝謝你。是啊,你可以看出我當時壓力有多大,我甚至做了幾個關於這計劃失敗的惡夢。我真的為它付出了很多努力,所以我很希望有好結果。

丹尼爾:現在你可以放下心中的大石頭了。總算可以放鬆了。

阿奇:當然,我正在安排一個小旅行當作給自己的獎勵,前幾週我真的是累壞了。

丹尼爾:你知道嗎?為了恭喜你,你可以點菜單上的任何東西,晚餐我請客!
