話匣子英語(yǔ):準(zhǔn)時(shí)

毛拉說(shuō)如果你想要9點(diǎn)開(kāi)始派對(duì)，那么你就需要告訴你的朋友們派對(duì)是在8點(diǎn)開(kāi)始，加拿大人真的是這樣嗎?

Maura: So if you’re throwing a party in Canada and you want it to start at 9 o’clock, don’t expect any guests to show up at that time. They’ll probably start showing up closer to 10 o’clock.

Rita: I agree, if you want them there for 9:00, you better say the party starts at 8:00.

Maura: Yup, that’s true. But you made a good distinction Rita, and that was about the dinner party.

Rita: Ah, yes, the dinner party.

Maura: That’s different than just a regular old bash.

Rita: Absolutely, somebody is in the kitchen preparing a meal. They’ve purchased food and they’re making it and timing it, you definitely want to be there on time for dinner.
