34. Planning a Picnic 准备一次野餐 A: You know, let's do something we haven't done for a long time. I'd like to go on a picnic. Where could we go? Over to the park? B: No. I want to drive out into the country, find a little creek someplace away from the highway, and have a real old-fashioned picnic lunch with fried chicken, and potato salad, and dill pickles, and lemonade. A: Sounds like a good idea. Why don't we go this Sunday? B: I can't make it. I'm busy all weekend, but next Sunday I'm free. A: It's a date. You furnish the lunch and I'll provide the transportation. Notes Real old-fashioned-typical Sound like 像是 A:喂,让我们搞一点长时间没搞过的活动。我想去野餐。我们去哪儿?到公园那边? B:不,我想开车到乡下去,在离开公路的地方找一条小溪,搞一次真正的老式野餐,有炸鸡、土豆色拉、泡菜和柠檬水。 A:听起来是个好主意。我们在这个星期日去好吗? B:我没法去,整个周末我都有事,但下个星期日我有空。 A:就定这天。你负责野餐的食物,我提供交通工具。
