【kaka礼节美语】163 宅着也能度假！

听力简介：

很久不见的好友Lisa, Karen和Gina一起吃饭。Lisa先到，注意听她帮朋友点了些什么菜。

Lisa: Karen! Gina! So good to see you! Sit down!

Karen: Hi, Lisa!

Gina: Good to see you, too! It's been so long!

L: Indeed it has! I ordered your favorite dish: spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and I got Gina the vegetarian pasta!

G: Excellent!

K: I really do love the spaghetti here.

Lisa最早一个到，已经帮Karen和Gina点好了她们爱吃的菜their favorite dish。 Karen爱吃spaghetti with cherry tomatoes加小西红柿的意大利面条；Gina爱吃vegetarian pasta，素的通心粉，vegetarian is spelled v-e-g-e-t-a-r-i-a-n, vegetarian吃素的，素食的。

L: So what's new? Are you planning a vacation this summer?

G: Well...frankly...---1---.

K: Yeah, actually we're thinking about skipping the vacation too.

L: I think money is tight for everyone these days. Last year we went to the Indonesian resort island of Bali for six days!

---2---!

K: We went to Mexico last year and stayed at a villa by the beach!

G: Last year we did Alaska...absolutely gorgeous...but pretty pricey as well.

Lisa问大家，夏天计划去哪里渡假。Gina说，I'm not sure we have the budget for a vacation this year. 今年恐怕没钱出去玩了。Karen也说，考虑skip the vacation，渡假就免了。Lisa说，现在大家手头都紧，money is tight for everyone. 去年她们一家去巴厘岛，结果花了五千多美元。 End up doing something，意思是最后，结果做了某事。five grand 就是 five thousand dollars. Karen去年去了墨西哥，Gina去了阿拉斯加，都很贵，pricey, pricey is spelled p-r-i-c-e-y, 是价钱很贵的意思。

L: Well, ---3---.

K: You can say that again! I've been penny-pinching all year!

G: Our family has basically stopped eating out. I cook almost every meal and while it takes some extra effort...---4---!

Lisa说，大家都要面对现实，适应现实，to face reality and adapt to it. 如今谁都没有多少闲钱，there isn't any extra money lying around. Karen马上表示赞同，说她一年来花钱一直特别节省，I've been penny-pinching all year. penny-pinch，意思是一分钱掰成两半花，节省。Gina也说，她们一家现在基本上不出去吃饭to eat out，是出去吃饭的意思，相反的是cook at home自己在家做，能省不少钱。她们三个人还有什么省钱的诀窍呢？
