零起点美语-First encounter

First encounter

初次偶遇
As Kathy and Evan walk down the hallway towards the money changer and car rental, a mother with a small child drops her purse.
E:I'll get that for you, ma'am.
W:Oh, how sweet! Thanks so much.
E:You're welcome. You really have a lot of things to take care of, especially with the little boy there.
W:Yes, we're on our way to New York for the summer.
E:What a coincidence! We're from New York.
W:Really! I'm from Amsterdam. This is my first time to go to America. I'm visiting relatives there, in Queens.
E:That's a double coincidence! We're visiting your country for the first time, and you're visiting ours for the first time.
W:I remember when I was your age, my husband and I traveled around Europe on our bicycles and stayed in hostels.
E:Bicycles! Really?
W:Oh, yes. Especially here in Holland, everyone uses bicycles whenever they can.
E:That's interesting. Well, we hope you have a wonderful time in New York. It's an exciting city.
W:I've heard. And you two have a wonderful time here in Holland. Bye!

当凯西和艾凡沿着信道走向兑换货币和租车的地方时，一个带着一名小
孩的妈妈掉了她的皮包。
艾凡：太太，我来帮你捡。
女士：哦，你真是太好心了！非常感谢你。
艾凡：不用客气。你有好多东西得照料，尤其是还要照顾这个小男孩。
女士：你说的对，我们正要到纽约去过这个夏天。
艾凡：太巧了！我们是纽约来的。
女士：真的！我是阿姆斯特丹市人。这次是我第一次去美国。我要去拜访那里的亲戚，他们住在皇后区。
艾凡：这可是双料巧合了！我们是第一次来贵国观光，而你们也是第一次要去我们的国家观光。
女士：我记得我在你们这个年纪的时候，我和我先生骑着自行车游遍欧洲，而且都住在青年旅社。
艾凡：自行车！真的吗？
女士：哦，没错。尤其是在荷兰这个国家，如果可能的话，每个人都会骑自行车代步的。
艾凡：那真是有趣。我们希望你们在纽约玩得愉快。纽约是个令人兴奋的城市。
女士：我听说过。我也祝你们在荷兰玩得愉快！拜！
