Unit 22 Good Eats
第22單元 美味佳肴
"Well," said Mel. "Our loan has been approved." "That's great news." said her best friends Sarah. "Now, we can open our own restaurant. Lets call it Good Eats!"
“跟你說哦，”梅兒說“我們的貸款已經核準了?！薄罢媸呛孟?。”她最好的朋友莎拉說道：“我們現在可以開一家自己的餐廳了，就叫它‘美味佳肴’吧！”
Now that Mel and Sarah had the money for their new place, they had a lot of work to do. First, they had to find a building to rent. Once they did that they started on the renovations. It took over four weeks and a lot of help from friends to get the restaurant ready. Then Sarah dealt with all the paperwork and licenses.
既然梅兒和莎拉開一家新店的錢已經有了，接下來要做的工作可多了。他們必須先祖店面，等租到以后還要開始進行店面的修繕工作。他們忙了四個多禮拜，加上很多朋友的幫忙，才總算把餐廳搞定。接著莎拉處理了所有書面作業程序和執照事宜。
After six month of hard work and preparing it was ready for the grand opening. That night their friends came to the opening. Mel and Sarah served their best dishes.
經過六個月的努力和準備，新店終于要隆重開幕了。那天晚上，朋友們都來參加他們的開幕典禮，梅兒和莎拉則準備了最好的菜來招待大家。
At the end of the night, Mel and Sarah sat down admist the pile of dirty plates and empty glasses. "I'm proud of us, Sarah. Starting a new business is a big risk. Who knows if we will be successful in the long run or not? But I am glad we are taking the chance and doing something that we love." "Me too."
那晚活動結束后，梅兒和莎拉坐在一堆臟盤子和空杯子中間?！拔艺嫣嫖覀兏械津湴?，莎拉。開家新店要冒很大的險，誰曉得我們最后做不做得起來？不過我很高興我們肯冒險去做我們喜歡的事情。”“我也是。”
