美国校园口语 21：新餐厅开业

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 重新装修(一般指商店的门面和内部装修)
Why'd you-why did you
In a better mood 情绪好一些
Grouch 脾气不好的人
It must've been the weather 大概是天气的缘故

A：弗朗西斯，你知道街角上的自助餐厅今天开门营业吗？
B：是的，今天早上我来上班时看到它开着。他们大概已经装修好了。为什么你想知道？
A：嗯，我想我们今天可以去那儿吃午饭。就是说，如果你没答应别人去的话。
B：那太好了，乔。不过我希望你现在的情绪比早上要好一些。
A：很抱歉，我的脾气那么不好。大概是天气的缘故。每当下雨我就很沮丧。
B：忘掉这事吧。十二点半再见。
