天下沒有不散的筵席,有些朋友一分開就是很久。再次相見不容易,老朋友的外貌、性格和行為習(xí)慣也往往會有改變,這個時候我們該如何用英文和他們寒暄呢?
情境對話
Amy: Hi, Susan. Its me.
Susan: Come in, please, Amy.
Amy: I havent seen you for five years. You have changed a lot. Your hair used to be short, but now you have long curly hair.
Susan: How do you like it?
Amy: Great! This hairstyle looks quite nice on you.
Susan: Thanks. Sorry, Im so excited that I almost forget to offer you something. Anything to drink?
Amy: Coffee, please.
Susan: Just a minute. It will be ready soon.
(After a long talk, its time for Amy to go.)
Susan: Its really hard to say goodbye to you. What a great time we had.
Amy: I also enjoy the time with you.
Susan: When are you off?
Amy: Im flying home the day after tomorrow.
Susan: OK. I hope I can see you soon.

Susan: Goodbye, please dont forget to say hello to your family for me.
艾米:嘿,蘇珊。是我。
蘇珊:請進,艾米。
艾米:我有五年沒見你了。你變了好多。你以前是短發(fā),但現(xiàn)在你留著長長的卷發(fā)。
蘇珊:你覺得這個發(fā)型如何?
艾米:太棒了!這個發(fā)型很適合你。
蘇珊:謝謝。對不起,我太激動了,差點忘了招待你。喝點什么?
艾米:咖啡,謝謝。
蘇珊:等一下。馬上就好。
(聊了很久后,艾米準備離開了。)
蘇珊:真不愿意跟你分別,我們度過了多么美好的時光。
艾米:我也享受和你在一起的時光。
蘇珊:你什么時候走?
艾米:后天,我坐飛機回去。
蘇珊:好的,希望不久就能見到你。
