有关英语走遍美国的口语情景对话 ACT 3-2 这才是我所说的享受 【故事梗概】
在磨坊旅馆的老板Montefiore女士欢迎Marilyn和Richard再次光临,并“自作主张”,为他们准备了非常丰盛的早餐。
Innkeeper: Well, it's nice to have you with us again. Next time, bring the baby.
Marilyn: You see, Richard? Max is welcome here.
Richard: Not on our anniversary. This vacation is for you and me.
Innkeeper: If there's anything you need, please call me. I'll be in the front office all day.
[There is a knock at the door.]
Innkeeper: Oh, I took the liberty of ordering some breakfast for you.
[The bellhop enters.]
Innkeeper: Just put it over there, Charles. [The bellhop puts their breakfast on the table.]
Innkeeper: Thank you. Charles. Compliments of the Watermill Inn.
Richard: Thank you.
Marilyn: Thank you so much.
Richard: Now, this is my idea of a good time. Let's see…hotcakes and maple syrup, with scrambled eggs.
Marilyn: Umm…smell that coffee…cinnamon and cloves. Richard: Homemade buttermilk biscuits. Marilyn: Slices of orange with burnt honey. 【语言点精讲】
