Daily Dialogue 日常會(huì)話

A Party

Pamela： It seems the department still has some money left in the budget. Do you have any suggestions how to use it before the budget is renewed?

Peggy： let me think. What about a party- and-movie night? We can rearrange our reference room, invite a band to play some music, order in some food and watch a movie later.

Pamela： Sounds like a good idea, but a band is too expensive.

Peggy： Well, we can ask to make small contributions.

Pamela： I don't think so. I don't think people are going to like it if they have to pay to come. But we certainly can cut costs in other ways, such as make the party BBP or buffet dinner .

Peggy： BBP? What's that?

Pamela： Brown-bag party . We can provide food, but people have to bring champagne .

Peggy： I don't know how well that will go over.

Pamela： Maybe you have a point. How about having a party on a Friday afternoon? We'll stop early, order some pizza and serve drinks. There'll be music but no band.

Peggy： Yes, we just need to prepare audio equipment .

Pamela： Yes, we still have spotlight here. We can decorate this platform as dance pool .

Peggy： Social dancing and disco will appear here.

Pamela： Oh, that sounds like fun!

聚會(huì)

帕梅拉： 看來(lái)我們部門(mén)的預(yù)算還有結(jié)余，趁現(xiàn)在還沒(méi)有重新預(yù)算，搞點(diǎn)活動(dòng)吧，你有什么建議？

帕姬： 讓我想想。來(lái)個(gè)聚會(huì)——電影之夜吧。我們可以裝飾一下會(huì)議廳，請(qǐng)個(gè)樂(lè)隊(duì)，點(diǎn)一些吃的，然后再看個(gè)電影。

帕梅拉： 想法不錯(cuò)，但是請(qǐng)個(gè)樂(lè)隊(duì)太貴了。

帕姬： 那我們可以讓大家再湊點(diǎn)錢(qián)。

帕梅拉： 不好吧，要是花錢(qián)來(lái)，大家可能就沒(méi)興趣了。不過(guò)可以換個(gè)地方來(lái)節(jié)約開(kāi)支，比如聚會(huì)BBP。

帕姬： BBP，什么意思？

帕梅拉： 自備午餐會(huì)。我們來(lái)提供食物，但是要自己帶香檳。

帕姬： 我不知道大家會(huì)怎么想。

帕梅拉： 也許你有道理，要不我們周五下午聚會(huì)吧？我們?cè)琰c(diǎn)下班，叫外賣(mài)披薩，準(zhǔn)備酒水飲料。我們不請(qǐng)樂(lè)隊(duì)，自己放音樂(lè)，我們就在辦公室里聚，這樣還能便宜些，反正周末的工作量也不會(huì)很大。

帕姬： 我們只需要準(zhǔn)備音響設(shè)備。

帕梅拉： 是的，我們還有聚光燈，我可以把臺(tái)子裝飾成舞池。

帕姬： 交誼舞和迪斯科會(huì)在這里同時(shí)出現(xiàn)。

帕梅拉： 哦，這聽(tīng)起來(lái)很有意思啊！
