Conversation 1
A: I think we should go to Italy for our holiday this year. You know how much we enjoyed it last time.
B: Yeah, but it was expensive. The hotel was the most expensive one I've stayed in.
A: No, not really. The hotel in Sweden was more expensive than the one in Italy, and the one in Italy was cleaner, as well.
B:Anyway, the holiday in Sweden was cheaper than the holiday in Italy and the most expensive holiday I've ever had was in Italy.
A:No, it wasn't. But do you think that was the most enjoyable holiday we've ever had?
B:Yes, that's right. And it was the most exciting as well.
A: OK, let's go to Italy then.
A:我觉得今年我们应该到意人利去度假。你知道,上次我们在那儿玩得多开心啊。
B:是的,但是花销也很大。那儿的旅馆是我所住过的旅馆中昂贵的。
A:不是这样。在瑞典住的旅馆比在意大利住的旅馆还要贵。而且意大利的那家旅馆也更干净。
B:不管怎么说,在瑞典度过的假日比在意大利度过的假日要便宜。在我所度过的假日中花销一次就是在意大利了。
A:不是的。但是,你觉得在意大利度过的假日是不是我们所度过的开心的假日?
B:是的,你说得对。那次度假也是令人激动的。
A:好哇,那么我们就去意大利度假吧。
Conversation 2
A: What's the matter, Li? You seem to be restless today.
B: You see, I've been offered a new job,and I can't decide whether to take it or not.
A: Well, that's easy. If it's better than the one you're doing now, go for it. That's my advice.
B: It isn't that easy. I hate to quit my present job. People around me are very nice,and the work itself is challenging.
A: Then what about the salary? Would you get more?
B: Yes. They say I'll get a big sum.
A: Have you discussed it with your wife?
B: Yes. She leaves it up to me.
A: Right, you'd better make it yourself.
B: I agree.
A:怎么啦,李?你今天好像有点心神不定。
B:有人给我提供了一份新工作,我在犹豫该不该接受。
A:这还不容易?如果新工作比你现有的这份条件要好,干吗不去?这是我的建议。

A:那薪水呢?新工作会挣得更多吗?
B:是的,收人会很可观。
A:你和你太太商量过么?
B:商量过,她让我自己决定。
A:对,你比较好自己决定。
B:我同意。
