May: What's all the security check about, Jimmy? Does it mean the bar may be a dangerous place?
Jimmy: No, of course not. Just in case. Nothing to worry about. Don't you also do this in China?
May: I don't know. Maybe the same. Actually, this is my first time being in a bar.
Jimmy: Oh, then it's my honor to be here with you. I can see now why you've been so curious about the bar stuff. You like this place?
May: Sure. I love this place, especially the decoration. So tasteful!
Jimmy: Yeah. Other than that, the real feature are the excellent drinks. Can I have your ticket?
May: Here it is. But, what for? We're already in.
Jimmy: Well, with the ticket, you can get a free drink. What would you like? Orange juice?
May: Yes, orange juice will be fine for me. But how can you get the drink? It's so crowded there around the counter. You can barely move.
Jimmy: I'll show you how. The bar tenders know whose turn it is. And also, I can snap my fingers to catch his attention.
May: Cool. Thanks.
(Jimmy brings May a glass of orange juice.)
May: Oh, fresh juice, I love it. Well, I heard American people love hanging out in bars. Is that true?
Jimmy: Not everyone. But a lot of people do, especially the young. It's a fun place to spend an evening with friends or to make some new friends.
May: Interesting. Hey, look over there. The dance floor is already packed with people. Oh, the girl in red dances great.
Jimmy: Yeah, a dancing queen. Wanna go and join them?
May: Maybe later. I wanna take some photos first.
Jimmy: Sure. Let me help you to hold the drink.
May: Thank you.

阿美: 吉米,這些安全檢查是關于什么的啊?這是不是意味著酒吧可能是一個危險的地方啊?
吉米: 不,當然不是。只是以防萬一。沒有什么好擔心的。在中國不這樣做嗎?
阿美: 我不知道。可能也一樣吧。實際上,這是我第一次來酒吧。
吉米: 哦,那么我很榮幸能陪你來這兒了。現在我明白你為什么對酒吧那么好奇了。你喜歡這個地方嗎?
阿美: 當然,我很喜歡這個地方,尤其是它的布置,很風雅。
吉米: 是啊。除了那個,它真正的特點在于酒水特別棒。可以把你的門票給我嗎?
阿美: 給你。可是,干什么用啊?我們都已經進來了啊。
吉米: 用這票,你可以得到一杯免費的飲料。你想要什么?橙汁嗎?
阿美: 好的,我喝橙汁就行。可是你怎么能買到飲料呢?吧臺那邊太擠了,動都動不了。
吉米: 我告訴你。酒吧服務員知道該輪到誰了,而且,我可以打響指來吸引他的注意。
阿美: 好酷。多謝。
(吉米給阿美拿來了一杯橙汁。)
阿美: 哦,鮮榨的橙汁,我喜歡。對了,我聽說美國人都很喜歡逛酒吧。是真的嗎?
吉米: 不是每個人,但是很多人都喜歡,尤其是年輕人。這是一個朋友聚會和認識新朋友的好地方。
阿美: 有意思。嗨,看那邊。舞池里已經擠滿了人了。哦,那個穿紅色衣服的女孩跳得真棒。
吉米: 是啊,好一個“跳舞皇后”。想過去和他們一起跳嗎?
阿美: 再等一會兒吧。我想先拍一些照片。
吉米: 沒問題。讓我幫你端飲料吧。
阿美: 謝謝。
