Cathy: Hi, my name's Cathy, nice to meet you.

凱茜：嗨，我叫凱茜，很高興見到你。

John: Nice to meet you too Kathy, my name's John. I'm a university friend of the bride. What about you? Who do you know at this party?

約翰：我也很高興見到你，凱西，我叫約翰，我是新娘的大學朋友。你呢？你在這個聚會上認識誰？

Cathy: I am a colleague of Brenda. I was a little surprised to be invited to be honest. We've only been working together the last six months, but we quickly became good friends. We just wrapped up a project with a difficult client last week. I bet Brenda is glad it's done with, and she can focus on wedding preparations.

凱茜：我是布倫達的同事，被邀請參加婚禮讓我有些驚訝。我們只是過去六個月在一起工作，但是我們很快成為好朋友。我們上周剛完成了一個難以應付的客戶的項目。我敢打賭，布倫達很高興這件事完成了，她可以專注于婚禮的準備。

John: Oh, yes. So you are Cathy from the office. Actually I've heard a lot about you in that project, the client sounded like a real nightmare.

約翰：噢，是的。所以你是辦公室里的凱茜。實際上，我在這個項目中聽到過很多關于您的事情，客戶似乎真的難以應對。

Cathy: Oh, he was, I mean we deal with all kinds of people on a regular basis, it's part of the job, but he was especially particular. Enough about that, what line of work are you in?

凱茜：噢，是的，我的意思是我們經常與各種各樣的人打交道，這是工作的一部分，但他尤為特殊。好了，您從事什么工作？

John: Well, right out of college I worked in advertising for a while. Recently though, I turn my photography hobby into a small business. I'll actually be taking photos during the big event as a wedding gift.

約翰：好吧，剛大學畢業時我從事過一段時間的廣告工作。但最近我利用攝影愛好開了一家小公司。我將在大型活動中拍照，作為結婚禮物。

Cathy: That sounds wonderful and very thoughtful of you. I bake, just as a hobby. (3) But Brenda has asked me to do the cake for the wedding. I was a bit nervous saying yes because I'm far from a professional.

凱茜：聽起來不錯，也很體貼。我的愛好是烤食品。但是布倫達要我為婚禮做蛋糕。我有點緊張地答應了，因為我離專業人士還差得遠。

John: Did you bake the cookies here at the party tonight?

約翰：你烤今晚聚會上的餅干了嗎？

Cathy: Yes, I got the idea from a magazine.

凱茜：是的，我從雜志上得到了這個主意。

John: They're delicious! You've got nothing to worry about. You are a natural.

約翰：非常好吃！您不用擔心。你天生就會做。

Cathy: You really think so?

凱茜：你真的這么認為嗎？

John: If you hadn’t told me that. I would have guessed they were baked by the restaurant. You know, with your event planning experience you could very well open your own shop.

約翰：如果您沒有告訴我。我會猜這是餐廳烤的。您知道，憑借您的活動策劃經驗，您完全可以自己開店。

Cathy: (laughing) One step at a time. First, I'll see how baking the wedding cake goes. If it's not a disaster, maybe I'll give it some more thought.

凱茜：（笑）一步一步來。首先，我將看看如何烘烤婚禮蛋糕。如果不是太糟糕，也許我會考慮更多。
