和老外聊天的地道口語第49期:你辦的派對總是很有意思

請進,要把衣服脫了嗎?
謝謝你,我帶了一瓶葡萄酒,希望你能喜歡.
哦,真客氣.
你家真漂亮,我特別喜歡這件藝術品.
那是一個朋友送的禮物,他今晚也會過來,我相信他要是知道有人喜歡他的作品一定會很高興的.
我真想認識認識他.今晚你邀請了多少人呢?
十個,不過鮑勃和瑪麗不能來了,鮑勃今晚要加班,瑪麗最後一刻告訴我說她有急事,所以今晚一共就8個人來.
我知道了,他們不來太可惜了,有他們在總是很好玩.
是啊,不過今晚我們也會很開心的.
那是當然了,你辦的聚會總是很有意思.你從哪兒找的這麼好聽的音樂? 你太會製造氛圍了.
那個音樂是皮特弄的,他就在那兒,你可以問問他,他在音樂方面很有品味.
好的,我覺得好像有人在敲門.
哦,那我去看看,你自便.
