Dialogue 1

Mark and Jingjing are in a coffee shop.
馬克和京晶在一家咖啡店里

Mark: I didn't know there was a coffee shop around here. How did you find it?
馬克：我不知道這附近還有一家咖啡店。你是怎么找到的？
Jingjing: I came here with another friend of mine.
京晶：我和另外一位朋友來過。
Mark: It seems pretty popular.
馬克：這地方看上去還挺受歡迎。
Jingjing: See if you like the drinks here. What are you thinking of having?
京晶：你看看喜不喜歡這里這些喝的東西。你現在想來點兒什么？
Mark: Just a cup of Joe.
馬克：一杯咖啡就行。
Jingjing: You mean plain coffee?
京晶：你是說普通咖啡？
Mark: Why not? It costs half as much as those fancy drinks, and tastes just as good.
馬克：為什么不呢？它只有那些華麗麗的飲料一半的價格，味道一樣棒。
Jingjing: For me, a big part of going to a coffee shop is having a special drink I can't make at home.
京晶：對我來說，去咖啡店一個主要原因就是來一杯我在家里做不了的特別飲料。
Mark: I get that. What would you like to order?
馬克：我明白你的意思。你想點點兒什么？
Jingjing: I can never decide between a cappuccino and a latte.
京晶：在卡布奇諾和拿鐵之間，我從來無法做出選擇。
Mark: What did you have last time?
馬克：你上次喝的什么？
Jingjing: I think it was a cappuccino.
京晶：我想是卡布奇諾吧。
Mark: It sounds like you're gonna order a latte this time, unless you think it's too plain.
馬克：聽上去你這次要點一杯拿鐵了，除非你認為它太清淡。
Jingjing: Done deal!
京晶：就它了！

京晶和馬克正在決定要不要在咖啡店多待一會兒

Mark: Hmm, my coffee's getting cold. I'm gonna kill it.
馬克：嗯，我的咖啡快變涼了，我馬上把它喝完。
Jingjing: How about you grab one of those magazines for me.
京晶：你遞一本那邊的雜志給我怎么樣？
Mark: Do you really want to hang out here longer? Those magazines are all advertisements.
馬克：你真的想在這兒再多待一會兒嗎？那些雜志上都是廣告。
Jingjing: No newspapers? Ask them again about the wi-fi.
京晶：沒有報紙嗎？再問一次他們的無線網絡。
Mark: The password works. It's just painfully slow.
馬克：密碼管用，就是網速慢哭了。
Jingjing: Man, it seems they don't want people to get settled in here.
京晶：天，看上去他們不想人們在這兒久待。
Mark: Well, I saw a few people eyeing our table. They turned tail when they saw the place was full.

Jingjing: They're not missing out. This chair is making my back hurt.
京晶：他們沒錯過什么。這張椅子把我的后背弄得好疼。
Mark: Mine is lumpy, and too low for this table.
馬克：我這把不平，而且對這張桌子來說太矮了。
Jingjing: You seem shorter than usual. I wasn't going to say anything.
京晶：你看著都比平時矮了。我本來不想說的。
Mark: Ha ha. That photo on the wall behind you has been bothering me ever since we sat down.
馬克：哈哈，自打我們一落座，你后邊那張墻上的照片就讓我渾身不自在。
Jingjing: What's the matter with it?
京晶：怎么了？
Mark: It's just weird, that's all.
