A：Hey, May, how are you doing?

嗨，梅，最近怎么樣?

B：Oh, I'm a little busy these days.

哦，這陣兒有點(diǎn)兒忙。

A：Why is that?

為什么?

B：Don’t you know Christmas is coming? I have a lot of things to get ready.

你不知道圣誕節(jié)就快到了嗎?我要準(zhǔn)備的東西太多了。

A：But you’re in China. Are you planning on going home for Christmas?

可你現(xiàn)在在中國。你打算回家過圣誕節(jié)嗎?

B：Yeah, so I have to buy presents for everyone before I leave.

是的，所以我要在回去之前給每個(gè)人買禮物。

A：Why not just give them money in red envelopes? That would be much easier.

為什么不給他們紅包呢?那要省事得多。

B：Americans don’t like giving money, they prefer presents you buy for them. So I have to figure out what to buy for all of my family and friends.

美國人不喜歡給錢，他們更喜歡你送禮物。所以我得想好為我的朋友家人買些什么。

A：I've got it. I won’t bother you any more. You’d better hurry to do it, Christmas is just around the corner.

我明白了。我不打擾你了。你最好快點(diǎn)去做這件事，圣誕節(jié)馬上快到了。

B：I will. Merry Christmas.

我會(huì)的。圣誕快樂!
