DIALOGUE 72

Meeting and Greeting

1--Perofessor Archer! How nice to see you.
2--It's nice to see you again, too.
1--I don't think you've met my assistant before.This
is Mr Carvalho.
2--How do you do!
3--How do you do! Have you visited our country before?
2--Yes, I was here three years ago.
1--Would you like tea or coffee?
2--Tea, please. With milk.
1--I'm afraid we haven't got any milk. I'm very
sorry.
2--It doesn't matter. I often drink tea without milk.

===================================
注解：
1）How nice to see you. 是省略感嘆句。全句是How nice
it is to see you. 口語中多用省略句，有時也說Nice to see you.
2）assistant：助手，助理人員。
3）It doesn't matter:沒關系。

===================================
譯文：

1--阿切爾教授，見到你很高興。
2--又見到你我也很高興。
1--我想你還不認識我的助手吧。這位是卡瓦爾豪先生。
2--你好！
3--你好！你過去來訪問過我國嗎？
2--來過，三年前來過。
1--你喝茶還是喝咖啡？
2--喝茶，請加點牛奶。
1--恐怕我們這兒沒有牛奶。真抱歉。
2--沒什么。我經常喝不放奶的茶。
