13、 yesterday. We really enjoyed visiting your office and learning more about your company. 再次感谢你昨天的款待。 我们能拜访并加深了解你们公司感到非常高兴。 enjoy的意思是 to get happiness from things and experiences, like doing sth.(享受、喜爱)。enjoy后接动词+-ing形式。请看格伦的回答： Everybody at Capital enjoyed meeting you and your friends. 首都电子公司的每个人为见到

14、你和你的朋友感到高兴。在西方当收到他人的礼物或受到他人的款待后，一般都要写信致谢。大山和格伦是才朋友自然可以打电话致谢。 listen, are you free this evening? 喂，你今天晚上有空吗？ 这里的listen是用以唤起别人的注意，相当于“喂、哎”。这里的疑问句是发出邀请的引子，还可说are you doing anything this evening?（你今晚有什么安排吗？）在第七集里云波邀请大山一同去逛商店，他是这样说的： Do you have any plans for today? How about coming over to our house for

15、 dinner? 到我家来吃晚饭好吗？ How about常用于提出建议或询问他人意思。注意about后面要用名词或名词词组：请看凯西对格伦提出的建议： How about taking everyone into the dining room? 把大家带到餐厅好吗？ vegetarian lasagna 素卤面条与20年前相比，加拿大人的饮食习惯发生了很大的变化，更多人增强了healthy life（健康生活）的意识，即意识到吃低脂肪、高纤维令物的必要性。很多人都非常注意减少肉、蛋、黄油等的摄入量，多吃新鲜蔬菜、水果，素食列是成为一种时尚。 Thats very kind of you,

16、Glen. 格伦，谢谢你。 Its kind of sb. to do sth. 是向人表示存放的说法。Kind 的意思是“令人感激的、友好的”。例如： Its very kind of you to help me. 谢谢你帮助我。 See you then. 回头见。 这是双方约定了下次见面的时间后，向人告别时常用的一句话。 Rumei holds flowers and Dashan has a bottle of wine. 如梅手捧鲜花，大山拿着一瓶酒。如果是被邀请到家里吃饭或者度周末可以带一束鲜花、一盒糖果、一瓶酒等小礼品。注意如梅和大山一进门就把小礼物送给了主人，这是西方的习惯。

17、如果包装好的礼品，主人一般要当着客人的面打开，说一些表示感谢、欣赏的话。 The pleasure is ours. （你们来做客） 我们感到很荣幸。 这句话的意思相当于it is our pleasure to have you here. 又比如： A: Im pleased to meet you, Mr Brown. B: The pleasure is mine. 甲：见到你我很荣幸，布朗先生。 乙：见到你我也很荣幸。 Please make yourself at home. 请不要拘束。 还可以说：Please feel at home. Please make yourself

18、 comfortable. 这些都是主人劝说客人的话，意思是“不必拘礼、拘束、像在家里一样自在”。 那时是秋天，树叶都变黄了。 Would anybody care for a drink before dinner? 吃饭前有谁想喝点什么（酒）吗？ care for = like (喜欢)，例如： I dont really care for coffee. I like tea. 我不喜欢喝咖啡，我喜欢喝茶。西方人喝酒的习惯跟中国人有很多不同之处。其中之一就是饮酒的方式。在饭前喝啤酒、葡萄酒，甚至喝烈性酒威士忌是常有的事，而中国人则不会在没有下酒菜的情况下干喝。 Could I have

19、a scotch on the rocks? 给我一些加冰块的苏格兰威士忌好吗？ Scotch on the rocks 是“加冰块的苏格兰威士忌，” rocks 指碎冰块。 Hi, Christopher. 克利斯托弗，你好。注意如梅、云波在和初次见面的克利斯托弗找招呼时使用的是非常随便的问候语。“Hi” 一般用于经常见面的人。选择正式还是非正式问候语，除了看场合、互相之间的关系外，年龄也是不可忽视的因素。 Sound like fun. 听起来蛮有趣麻？ 这个句子中活力省略了主衙，全句是It sounds like fun.在较随便的口语中，意思清楚时，常使用省略句。 very soon,

20、 honey. 马上就开饭，亲爱的。 Honey用作称呼语，意思是“宝贝、亲爱的”，另外不有下面的称呼：dear, darling, sweetheart Kathy, can I help with anything? 凯西，有什么要我帮忙的吗？如梅这里是在问凯西用不用她帮着上菜。到别人家做客时，礼貌的做法是主动提出帮助上菜、洗碗等。但是一般来讲，除非客人是常来常往的老朋友，主人是不会让客人做很多事情的。后来在大山、如梅、云波的主动要求下，主人才同意他们参与家务，收拾桌子。 Id like another piece, please. But just a small one. 我想再要一块

21、，请要一小点。 one在句中是不定代词，代替上文中提到的名词或名词短语。吃lasagna时一般是毁成长方条，云波想再要一小条（one piece） dessert 餐后甜点 餐后甜食种类一般有烩水果类、冰淇淋类、布丁类及干点类。Answers to Dashans Questions:Q1 What gift did Rumei bring to Kathy?
