S: Hi, Mary. I haven't seen you.in ages! I heard that you and Daniel are getting married on August 8th, the opening day of the 2008 Olympic Games. Is it true?
E: yes, it is. We've been dating for over 7 years. We have decided to get married on a special day and we think August 8th, 2008 is a red-letter day.
S: good for you! It sounds like you've done a lot of planning in a very short time.
E: yes, there is a lot of to be taken care of---wedding photos, wedding dress, catering, transport, hotel, etc…
S: is everything ready now?
E: almost. The only thing that isn't ready is the hotel. As a lot of people have chosen that day to get married, it is hard to find a hotel that isn't too expensive.
S: have you tried The Peninsula Palace Beijing? My wedding reception was held there and they did an excellent job.
E: yes, we called, but it is booked up. The only choice is the Regent Beijing but we haven't made up our minds yet.
S: it's an excellent hotel. A friend of mine had her wedding reception there and sasid it was perfect, though very expensive.
E: that's why we want to have a look at other hotels. We don’t want to spend too much on an extravagant wedding reception.
S: I guess you're right. I can help you ask other hotels. I am sure there are probably some available.
E: thank you.
S: my pleasure.

嗨，瑪麗，好久不見！聽說你和丹尼爾打算8月8日，也就是2008年奧運會的第一天結婚，是真的嗎？
是的，我們已經談了7年戀愛，決定選個特殊的日子結婚。2008年8月8日正是個好日子。
太好了！看起來你們要在很短的時間內準備很多事情了。
是啊，要考慮很多事---拍結婚照，選婚紗，擺酒席，安排車輛等。
都準備好了嗎？
差不多了，就剩酒店了。因爲那天有很多人結婚，很難找到價位適合的酒店。
你試過王府半島酒店嗎？我的婚宴就在那兒辦的，辦的很好。
是的，打過電話了，但是已經訂滿了，就只剩下北京麗晶酒店了，我們還沒決定呢。
北京麗晶酒店很好啊。我有個朋友就在那兒辦的婚宴，聽說不錯，只是價格稍微貴了點。
所以我們想再看看。我們不想在婚宴上太鋪張。
說的也是，我可以幫你問問其它酒店，肯定有一些還沒訂滿。
謝謝你。
被客氣。
