| 标题 | 英语口语情景对话第0485集：准备生日礼物 |
| 内容 | Ruth最近一直再攒钱给不久就要过生日的弟弟送礼，困扰的是送什么好呢。 Todd: So, Ruthie, what did you do today? Ruth: Well, I got up quite early this morning, actually, to go shopping. Todd: Oh, yeah! (Yeah) Ooh, shopping. Ruth: I really like shopping. Todd: That's true but you're on a budget. You're trying to save money. Ruth: I know, but is was my brother's birthday. Well, it is my brother's birthday in a week so. Todd: Oh, no kidding. Ruth: Yeah. Todd: So, what did you get your brother for his birthday? Ruth: Well, it was quite difficult to find something that I thought he would like, but I got him some cakes in the end, some Japanese cakes. Todd: Japanese cakes? Ruth: Yeah, they're in like a special presentation box. Todd: So, how are you going to get the cakes to your brother? Just through the post office? Ruth: Yes, I sent them in the post this morning. Todd: Oh, did you send them express or just regular mail? Ruth: No, regular mail because it was cheaper. Todd: But, don't you want it to hurry and get there for his birthday? Ruth: I've got one week. I think it will get there in time. Todd: So, what do you think you're brother will think of the cakes? Ruth: I don't think he'll like them actually. Todd: No? Ruth: Well, he likes chocolate cake, and they look like they've got kind of chocolate inside but it's bean paste. I think he'll be disappointed. Todd: So what did you brother get you for your last birthday? Ruth: That's a good question. He always gives me money, and he often gives me chocolate as well. He's very generous. Todd: Actually, I'm the same way. Guys like to give money. Money is so easy. No shopping involved. Ruth: It's practical, though, it's good. Todd: Now, I've been told that when you give money for a gift, it's actually very impolite. Ruth: Really? Todd: Is that true? Yeah! Ruth: Why is that? Todd: I don't know. Some people say it's just really impersonal. That you should take the time to get a gift. Ruth: Really! I really think if anybody gave me money I would be so pleased. It's a good present. Todd: Exactly, that's what I think. (Pause) Hey, um, actually, when are you going to see your brother next? Ruth: Probably, I will see him in August of September. Todd: Oh, that's quite a ways away. Ruth: Yes, about four months is that. Todd: So is this a younger brother or older brother? Ruth: He's older. He's twenty-six. Todd: Oh, he's twenty six. Ruth: He's going to be twenty-six soon. Todd: Ok, well, if you happen to e-mail him, tell him happy birthday. Ruth: Oh, certainly will do. Thanks. |
