今天的这段对话，在讨论情人节，
 
你会跟谁一起度过情人节？会在情人节当天做什么
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: So, Trina, Monday is Valentine's day. Are you excited?
 
特瑞娜，周一是情人节，你兴奋吗？
 
B: No!
 
不兴奋！
 
A: That was a pretty direct answer. Why are you not excited? It's a holiday.
 
这还真是个直接的回答。你为什么不兴奋呢？这是节日啊。
 
B: It's a holiday for people that have other people.
 
这是有他人陪伴的人们的节日。
 
A: So, you're not happy because you don't have other people?
 
那你不开心的原因是你没有人陪伴？
 
B: I have other people. I have my sister and my mom and my dad and my friends, but Valentine's day is more of a holiday for people that have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, or a wife, or a husband, or children as opposed to being a single person with nobody to share it with.
 
我有人陪伴。我有妹妹、妈妈、爸爸，还有朋友们，但是情人节是那些有男朋友、女朋友或是有妻子、丈夫、孩子的人过的节日，而不是单身一人，没有人共度时光的人们过的节日。
 
A: But could you share it with your sister, or your mother, or your father?
 
但是你不能和你妹妹、妈妈或是爸爸一起过吗？
 
B: I could. I could, and we do. We send each other gifts. We, well this year, I won't be with anybody, but I get to celebrate it with my sister this weekend.
 
我可以，可以，我们就是这么做的。我们会互相送礼物。但是今年，没有人和我一起过，不过这周末我会和我妹妹一起庆祝一下。
 
A: Well, that sounds fun.
 
嗯，听起来很有趣。

A: So what kinds of things have you done on Valentines day in the past?
 
那过去你在情人节都做什么呢？
 
B: Ah, gone out to dinner, gone to a movie, had dinner at my parents house, had dinner at my grandparent's house.
 
出去吃晚饭，看电影，在父母家吃晚饭，或是在祖父母家吃晚饭。
 
A: That's interesting. Why your grandparent's house?

A: Wow! That's a great day to have a wedding anniversary.
 
哇！结婚纪念日在情人节真是太棒了。
