Ez talk美语会话志:第51期 Red Envelope 红包

Brooke: So, got any more ideas for the website?
Shan: Well, since we're collecting gifts instead of red envelopes, I made a "for guests only" gift chat room.
Brooke: But we registered at Macy's. People can just buy gifts there.
Shan: The Taiwanese won't have time to buy gifts in America. The chat room is more convenient.
Brooke: You're right. They can discuss what to get and avoid buying the same things.
Shan: Or discuss what gifts they could buy together.

website (n.) 　 网站

A: Does EZ talk have its own website?
EZ talk有自己的网站吗？

B: It sure does! The address is www.eztalk.to
当然有啰！网址是www.eztalk.to。

red envelope (n.) 　 　红包，这里指包给新人的礼金
register (v.) 　 　登记，注册
Macy's 　 美国最著名的百货公司之一，总店在纽约的第三十四街与第六、第七大道之间
avoid (v.) 　 　避免，回避

布鲁克：那你对网站还有想法吗？
阿 珊：既然我们只收礼物，不收礼金，我做了一个“宾客专属”聊天室。
布鲁克：但我们在梅西百货公司登记过了。大家可以就去那里买礼物啊。
阿 珊：台湾的宾客在美国不会有时间买礼物。有聊天室比较方便。
布鲁克：你说得对。他们可以在聊天室里讨论，避免买到同样的东西。
阿　珊：或是讨论要合送什么礼物。
