Lucas and Nina are going to a friend's wedding next month. They want to bring a good gift. They can not decide what to buy.
卢卡斯和妮娜下个月要去参加一位朋友的婚礼。他们想带一份好礼物,可是拿不定主意买什么。
The first idea is a nice kitchen mixer. Their friend loves to bake on weekends. A mixer will help her bake more easily.
第一个想法是一台好用的厨房搅拌机。他们的朋友周末喜欢烘焙。搅拌机能让她烤东西更轻松。
The second idea is a weekend trip voucher. The couple can use it after the wedding. It will give them a short, relaxing break.
第二个想法是一张周末旅行券。新婚夫妇可以在婚礼后使用。它会带给他们一个短暂而轻松的假期。
Lucas likes the mixer because it is useful. Nina likes the voucher because it is a special memory. They talk about it for a long time.
卢卡斯喜欢搅拌机,因为它很实用。妮娜喜欢旅行券,因为它是一份特别的回忆。他们商量了很久。
"A mixer is nice, but everyone gives kitchen gifts," Nina says. "A trip is different, and they will remember it."
“搅拌机不错,可是大家送的都是厨房用品,”妮娜说,“旅行就不一样了,他们会记得的。”
Lucas thinks about his own wedding gifts. He remembers a candle he never used. He does not remember a small trip his uncle gave him.
卢卡斯想起自己收到的婚礼礼物。他记得有一支从没用过的蜡烛。他却不记得叔叔送给他的那次小小的旅行。
"You are right," Lucas says. "Let's get the weekend trip voucher instead."
“你说得对,”卢卡斯说,“我们还是买周末旅行券吧。”
They buy the voucher and wrap it in blue paper. On the wedding day, they hand the gift to their friend.
他们买下旅行券,用蓝色的纸包好。婚礼那天,他们把礼物交给了朋友。
"This is for a weekend away, just for you two," Nina says. "Congratulations!"
“这是一次周末小旅行,只属于你们两个人,”妮娜说,“恭喜你们!”
