一家大的房地产公司要在这后面建造新公寓。他们想拆掉咖啡馆和奥利维亚的商店，腾出更多的地方。

Oh no.What can we do to stop them?

不好，我们能做些什么阻止他们？

Well, we’ve got a few ideas.There’s a guy who comes in here sometimes called Carlos he works for the builders. He might help us. And Sarah and Olivia said they had some ideas.

哈，我们有几个主意。有个时常上这儿来的人叫卡洛斯，他给那些建筑商工作，他也许能帮我们。萨拉和奥利维亚也说她们想了一些办法。

We should start a campaign!

我们应该发起一次情愿活动！

Good idea! I’m a journalist. I could write something in the local newspaper.

好主意！我是记者，可以在本地报纸上写点什么。

Erm, I thought you wrote for interior design magazines.

啊，我本以为你是为室内设计杂志撰稿的。

Well, yes, I do, that’s true. But I know somebody who works for the local newspaper. And I want to do more serious journalism.

嗯，对，这倒是真的。但我认识在本地报纸工作的人，还有，我想做一些更严肃的报纸。

Sounds like a great idea! Good luck! I think we should put a banner in the window of the cafe.

听起来是个好办法！祝你好运！我想我们还应该在咖啡馆的窗户外打出一幅标语。

A banner?

标语？

Yeah, you know a big sign that says “Save Our Café!”or something like that.

对啊，你知道的，一幅大标语，上面写着“救救我们的咖啡馆”之类的话。
