办公室英语口语第184:Talking about a new pet 谈论新宠

Talking about a new pet
A: Jack¹! Do you want to see a picture of my new puppy²?
B: Sure. I thought people only showed off pictures of their new babies, not new pets!
A: Well, this is my new baby. He’s just as much trouble. That’s for sure! But, he’s a lot of fun!
B: I see what you mean. He’s really cute. How old is he?

B：我明白你的意思。他的确可爱。他多大了？
