和老外聊天的地道口語第34期:Neighbor Relations 左鄰右舍

Lucas:hi, I'm Lucas, I just moved in next door.

Barbara:oh, hi Lucas, come on in. I'm Barbara. Nice to meet you.

L:nice to meet you too.

B: would you like something to drink? I've got tea and some grape juice.

L: thanks. Some tea would be nice. Chinese tea is great. I really like your tea set. Where did you get it?

B: oh, there is a supermarket not far from here. But there is also a tea house around the corner, where you can get tea and a tea set as well.

L: oh yeah, I saw the tea house the other day. I think I might go and have a look sometime. It's a nice neighborhood here.

B: you are right about that. It's quiet and very convenient. You can get to the bus and the subway stations within ten minutes'walk. There's a grocery store, a book store, a gym, and many restaurants along the street.

L: there's a gym nearby? That's exciting! I really want to start to go to gym as soon as possible. I've been lazy this summer holiday and have put on some weight.

B: well, if you want we can go together sometime. Actually I was thinking of going this afternoon, if you like, you can join me and I can show you the beighborhood along the way.

L: that would be wonderful. Thanks!


你好,我是盧卡斯,我剛搬到隔壁.
哦,盧卡斯,請進,我是芭芭拉,很高興認識你.
我也很高興認識你.
你想喝點什麼呢?有茶,還有葡萄汁.
謝謝你,茶就行,中國茶很好喝. 我特別喜歡你的茶具,在哪裏買的?
離這裏不遠有家超市.街角有個茶葉店,那兒也有茶葉和茶具賣.
哦, 對,前兩天我見過那個茶具店,可能過兩天去看看.我覺得這裏的居住環境還不錯.
沒錯,這裏很安靜,而且特別方便,去汽車站和地鐵站,不到十分鐘就能走到.沿着街,有便利店,書房,健身房,還有很多餐館.
周圍有健身房?太好了!我想去健身,越快越好.整個暑假我都特別懶,長胖了不少.
如果你不介意,我們可以一起.我打算今天下午就去,你要是想來,可以一起走,路上我給你介紹下社區裏的設施.
那太棒了,謝謝你.
