和老外聊天的地道口语第49期:你办的派对总是很

Scott: hi, come on! May I take your coat?

Jenny: thank you! I brought a bottle of wine. I hope you like it.

S: oh, that's so nice of you.

J: what a lovely home! I really like the artwork.

S: that was a gift from a friend. He'll actually be here tonight. I am sure he'll be very happy to know his work is appreciated.

J: I'd like to meet him. How many people have you invited tonight?

S: ten, but Bob and Mary can't make it. Bob has to work overtime¹ tonight and Mary had something urgent² come up at the last minute. So there will be eight people all together.

J: I see. What a pity that they are not coming! They are always such good company.

S: yeah, but it should still be a night to remember.

J: it surely will. You always have the best get-togethers. Where do you get such great music? You definitely³ know how to set the ambiance.

S: oh that was Peter. He is right over there. You can ask him about it. He has great taste in music.

J: okay. I think there is somebody at the door.

S: oh,excuse. Make yourself at home!

你家真漂亮,我特别喜欢这件艺术品.
那是一个朋友送的礼物,他今晚也会过来,我相信他要是知道有人喜欢他的作品一定会很高兴的.
我真想认识认识他.今晚你邀请了多少人呢?
十个,不过鲍勃和玛丽不能来了,鲍勃今晚要加班,玛丽最后一刻告诉我说她有急事,所以今晚一共就8个人来.
我知道了,他们不来太可惜了,有他们在总是很好玩.
是啊,不过今晚我们也会很开心的.
那是当然了,你办的聚会总是很有意思.你从哪儿找的这么好听的音乐? 你太会制造氛围了.
