实战口语情景对话 第348期:Valentine's Day 情人节

Adrienne: So, Trina, Monday is Valentine's day. Are you excited?
埃德里安娜：特瑞娜，周一是情人节，你兴奋吗？

Trina: No!
特纳娜：不兴奋！

Adrienne: That was a pretty direct answer. Why are you not excited? It's a holiday.
埃德里安娜：这还真是个直接的回答。你为什么不兴奋呢？这是节日啊。

Trina: It's a holiday for people that have other people.
特纳娜：这是有他人陪伴的人们的节日。

Adrienne: So, you're not happy because you don't have other people?
埃德里安娜：那你不开心的原因是你没有人陪伴？

Trina: I have other people. I have my sister and my mom and my dad and my friends, but Valentine's day is more of a holiday for people that have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, or a wife, or a husband, or children as opposed to being a single person with nobody to share it with.
特纳娜：我有人陪伴。我有妹妹、妈妈、爸爸，还有朋友们，但是情人节是那些有男朋友、女朋友或是有妻子、丈夫、孩子的人过的节日，而不是单身一人，没有人共度时光的人们过的节日。

Adrienne: But could you share it with your sister, or your mother, or your father?
埃德里安娜：但是你不能和你妹妹、妈妈或是爸爸一起过吗？

Trina: I could. I could, and we do. We send each other gifts. We, well this year, I won't be with anybody, but I get to celebrate it with my sister this weekend.
特纳娜：我可以，可以，我们就是这么做的。我们会互相送礼物。但是今年，没有人和我一起过，不过这周末我会和我妹妹一起庆祝一下。

Adrienne: Well, that sounds fun.
