21. Invitation to Lunch 請(qǐng)吃午飯

A: Frances, do you know if the cafeteria around the corner's open today?

B: Yes. They were open this morning when I came to work. They must've finished remodeling. Why'd you want to know?

A: Well, I thought that maybe we could go there for lunch today. That is. If you haven't promised to go with someone else.

B: That'd be wonderful, Joe. But I hope you're in a better mood than you were this morning.

A: I'm sorry I was such a grouch. It must've been the weather. When it rains I get depressed.

B: Forget it. I'll see you at twelvethirty.

Notes

Remodel 重新裝修(一般指商店的門面和內(nèi)部裝修)

Why'd you-why did you

In a better mood 情緒好一些

Grouch 脾氣不好的人

It must've been the weather 大概是天氣的緣故

A：弗朗西斯，你知道街角上的自助餐廳今天開門營業(yè)嗎？

B：是的，今天早上我來上班時(shí)看到它開著。他們大概已經(jīng)裝修好了。為什么你想知道？

A：嗯，我想我們今天可以去那兒吃午飯。就是說，如果你沒答應(yīng)別人去的話。

B：那太好了，喬。不過我希望你現(xiàn)在的情緒比早上要好一些。

A：很抱歉，我的脾氣那么不好。大概是天氣的緣故。每當(dāng)下雨我就很沮喪。

B：忘掉這事吧。十二點(diǎn)半再見。
