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。 Lisa:凯伦！吉娜！见到你真好！请坐！ Karen:你好，丽莎！ Gina:我也很高兴见到你！好久不见！ L:确实很久没见了！我点了你最喜欢的菜：有樱桃和马铃薯的意大利面，我给吉娜点了素食意大利面！ G:太棒了！ K:我真的很喜欢这里的意大利面。  L: So whats new? Are you planning a vacation this summer? G: Well...frankly...Im not sure we have the budget for a vacation this year. K: Yeah, actually were 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! It was incredible, but we did end up spending over five grand! K: We went to Mexico last year and stayed at a villa by the beach! Last year we did Alaska...absolutely gorgeous...but pretty pricey as well. L:有什么计划吗？比如夏天出去旅游？ G:嗯……坦率地说……今年恐怕没有钱出游了。 K:是的，事实上我们也想不去度假了。 L:我觉得这些日子大家都缺钱花。去年我们去印度尼西亚的巴厘岛玩了6天。虽然听起来有些不可思议，但是我们花了五千美元。 K:我去年去了墨西哥，在海滩上的别墅度假的。 G:去年我们去了阿拉斯加……确实很高贵……但是也很贵。Lisa问大家，夏天计划去哪里渡假。Gina说，Im 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, we have to face reality and adapt to it. There just isnt any extra money lying around these days. K: You can say that again! Ive 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.
