今天的這段對話,在討論父母,
父親退休了為什么還會繼續(xù)工作?父母退休后怎么安排養(yǎng)老生活
來聽今天的講解:
A: Louis, facy meeting you here.
路易斯,真高興在這兒碰見你!
B: hi! Susan. What brings you this way?
你好,蘇珊.什么風(fēng)把你吹來了?
A: my father works nearby, and I am gonna meet him for lunch.
我父親在附近工作,我和他約好了一起吃午飯.
B: but I remember you told me your father retired last year.
我記得你和我說過你父親去年就退休了.
A: yes, he did, but he has found a new job in a nearby office.
是啊,退了.但是他后來又在附近找了一份新工作.
B: was he worried about making ends meet?
他是擔(dān)心錢不夠花嗎?
A: not really, he has a decent pension but he wants to keep physically and mentally active.
不是,他退休金還可以,就是想活動活動.
B: oh, I see. Does your father live with you?
哦,明白了.那你父親和你們一起住嗎?
A: no, my father prefers to live on his own.
沒有,他喜歡一個人住.
B: I can understand if he wants to be independent while he still can.
我明白,他是覺得自己身體還可以,可以獨立生活.
A: how are your parents? I haven't seen them for a long time.
你父母怎么樣?我好久沒見他們了.
B: they're fine. Still working but we're looking ahead. There is a new fully-equipped retirement home in our neighborhood. They've been thinking about moving there when they couldn't live on their own.
他們很好,還在工作但是馬上就退休了.我們小區(qū)里新開了個養(yǎng)老院設(shè)施很齊備,他們考慮過幾年就搬去那兒住.
A: oh, really? I have no idea about that but it sounds very convenient.
是嗎?沒聽說啊,不過好像挺方便的.
B: my parents prefer to be independent, you know, and they don't want to be a burden.
我父母想自己住,他們不想成為我們的負擔(dān).
A: oh, I see. That sounds great if they can keep some independence but still have professionals nearby just in case.
恩,住那里也不錯,他們有一定的自由,又有專業(yè)人士在身邊,以防萬一.
