Ez talk美语会话志:第55期 Have cold feet 害怕，恐惧

Christmas day, Brooke is on the phone with her mom
Mom: Merry Christmas, sweetie. How's your brother enjoying Taiwan?
Brooke: Ryan says he wants to stay. I think he's in love with some girl who designs fruit platters...
Mom: No! Christmas without him is bad enough. So, honey, do you have cold feet yet?
Brooke: Yeah, especially since Jack didn't take care of the plane reservations.
Mom: You're not coming?
Brooke: Not until the 31st. So can you change the church reservations?
Mom: I'm afraid not. The church is booked until the year 2001.

圣诞节当天，与妈妈通电话
妈　妈：亲爱的，圣诞节快乐！你弟弟喜不喜欢台湾啊？
布鲁克：雷恩说他想要留下来。我想他是跟一个设计水果拼盘的女孩坠入情网了……
妈　妈：不！没有他的圣诞节已经够糟了。对了，亲爱的，你开始惶恐了没？
布鲁克：开始了，尤其是因为杰克没把预定机票的事办好。
妈　妈：你们不过来了？
布鲁克：要到三十一号才能过去。你可以跟教堂另外约时间吗？
妈　妈：恐怕不行。教堂到二○○一年之前都已经预约额满了。
