第16课:有礼貌的 - 10

迷你小对话1

A: Hey, want to dance?
B: No, I’m too reserved for that. I feel more comfortable just standing by the side and watching others dance. I prefer quiet conversation.

A: 嗨,想跳舞吗?
B: 不,我生性内向,来不了那个。还是站在一边看别人跳更舒服。我喜欢静静地交谈。

迷你小对话2

A: Your little Janie is growing up fast.
B: Yes, just looking at her all dressed up for graduation, I realize she has become quite a lady.

A: 你的小Janie长得真快啊。
B: 是啊。看到她在毕业典礼精心打扮起来的时候,我才意识到她已经是个淑女了。
