Conversation(情境對話)
It is 2:30 p.m. and the office employees want to have something refreshing to drink. After talking to several colleagues, Vivian walked over to John, who just relocated to Taipei from Texas.(現在是下午 2:30,辦公室同事們想喝點飲料提振精神。與幾位同事討論後,Vivian走到剛從德州搬到臺北的John身邊。)
Vivian:Hi John, are you busy?(嗨,John,你正在忙嗎?)
John:Just finishing up an email. What’s up?(剛完成一封電子郵件。什麼事?)
Vivian:We’re planning on getting some drinks delivered. Would you like anything from the menu?(我們打算請人外送飲料。你想要菜單上的任何東西嗎?)
John:I’d love a bubble milk tea. I’d like a red tea without toppings. I learned this in Taiwan. It’s called red tea but it’s actually black tea in English.(我愛泡沬奶茶。我想要一杯沒有配料的紅茶。我是在臺灣學的。它被稱為紅茶,但實際上英文是黑茶。)
Vivian:Sure. Do you want sugar?(是的。你要糖嗎?)
John:Yeah. Regular is okay.(要。全糖沒問題。)
Vivian:So that’s a bubble milk tea with sugar. Right? We will call you when it arrives.(所以是加糖的泡沫奶茶。對吧?我們會在送達時打電話給你。)
John:Cool! Thanks!(太棒了!謝謝!)
