美语会话实录第118期(MP3+文本):Ten-year reunion

英文原文:

Yi-jun: I'm glad you're on your ten-year reunion planning committee.
Holly: Yeah, you get the TV to yourself while I spend my nights surfing the Net for missing classmates.
Yi-jun: That's not why. This way I can see how you guys do this sort of thing.
Holly: I guess. Don't you have reunions in Taiwan?
Yi-jun: Definitely. Every year. But just for our forty-person class.
Holly: Ours are for everyone that graduated in the same year.

参考译文:

怡君：真高兴你担任你们毕业十周年同学会的筹办委员。
荷莉：是呀，当我整晚上网查失联同学资料时，都没人跟你抢电视。
怡君：我才不是在高兴这个呢。而是这样我就可以看你们是怎么办这类活动了。
荷莉：也许吧。你们台湾没同学会吗？
怡君：当然有。每年都办。但是只为我们班那四十个人举办。
荷莉：我们的是为同一年毕业的所有人举办。
