聽力每日練習 listen 4665 Christmas

 
2--Life is a little hectic at the moment.
 
1--Why is that?
 
2--Don't you know it's Christmas time and I have a lot of things to get prepared.
 
1--But, you're in China.  What things do you have to get prepared?
 
2--Bob, I'm planning on going home for Christmas，so I have to buy presents for everyone before I leave.
 
1--Wow!That is a lot to do. Why don't you just give them all money in little red envelopes?
 
2--That would be much easier, but Americans don't like  accepting money， they think that you should buy presents.Now, I have to figure out what to buy for all of my family and friends.
 
1--Christmas doesn't seem like it is a very fun time of year.
 
2--That's not true.  Christmas is fun but there are also lots of things to take care of at the same time.
 
1--I won't bother you anymore. You'd better hurry and take care of all your errands.Christmas is just around the corner.
 
2--I will.Merry Christmas!

1--嗨，蘇茜，最近怎么樣?
2--這陣子有點兒忙。
1--為什么?
2--你不知道要過圣誕節(jié)了嗎?我要準備的東西太多了。
1--可你現在在中國，有什么東西可準備的?
2--鮑勃，我打算回家過圣誕節(jié)，所以我要在回去之前給每個人買禮物。
1--哇，那可真夠你忙的了。為什么不直接包紅包發(fā)給他們?
2--那倒是省很多事，可是美國人不喜歡給錢，他們認為你應該為他們買禮物?，F在，我得想好為我的朋友和家人買什么。
1--圣誕節(jié)看起來不像是一年中很有意思的節(jié)日。
2--不對。圣誕節(jié)很有意思，但同時又有很多事情需要打理。
1--我不打擾你了。你最好快去辦自己的事吧，圣誕節(jié)馬上快到了。
2--我會的。圣誕快樂!
