第16课：有礼貌的 - 9

【迷你小对话】

A: You know, Jimmy, at our martial arts school we do not usually accept students as young as you. You are so mannerly though – always holding doors open for teachers, speaking with formal words – that we will take you on as a student.
B: That is very good to hear, Mr. White. Thank you very much for this opportunity to join your fine school. Until next week, goodbye.

A: Jimmy，你知道吗？我们这样的武术学校，通常不接受你这么小的学生。因为你彬彬有礼——总是为老师开门，说话很有礼貌，我们才录取你。
B: 太好了，White老师，谢谢你给我机会进入这么好的学校。下周见。
