对话预览
报时间和日期
basicExcuse me, what time is it?
请问,现在几点了?
It's a quarter past two. So, 2:15.
两点一刻。就是2:15。
Thanks. And what time does the museum close today?
谢谢。博物馆今天几点关门?
It closes at half past five — 5:30. But the last entry is at a quarter to five, so 4:45. You still have plenty of time.
五点半关门——5:30。但最后入场是差一刻到五点,就是4:45。你还有很多时间。
英文时间表达:past 用于前半小时(quarter past, half past),to 用于后半小时(quarter to, ten to)。美式英语也常用 after 代替 past。
Great. By the way, what's today's date?
好的。顺便问一下,今天几号?
Today is March 12th. In American format, that's 3/12. If you're European, it's 12/3.
今天是3月12日。美式写法是 3/12。欧洲写法是 12/3。
日期格式各地不同:有的用 月/日/年(3/12/2026),有的用 日/月/年(12/3/2026),容易搞混!不确定时把月份用英文说出来最稳妥。
That always confuses me — month first or day first. And when is the holiday parade? Someone mentioned it's this weekend.
这个总搞混——月在前还是日在前。节日游行是什么时候?有人说是这个周末。
The parade is this Saturday, March 15th. It starts at 10 AM and runs for about two and a half hours. You should get there by 9:30 to get a good spot.
游行在这周六,3月15日。上午10点开始,持续大约两个半小时。你最好9:30之前到,找个好位置。
10 AM to about 12:30. Got it. And what's the weather forecast for Saturday?
上午10点到大约12:30。明白了。周六天气预报怎么样?
They're saying high of 68 Fahrenheit — that's about 20 Celsius. Partly cloudy. Perfect for the parade!
预报说最高68华氏度——大概20摄氏度。局部多云。很适合看游行!
温度换算:°F = °C × 9/5 + 32。常用参考:0°C=32°F, 20°C=68°F, 30°C=86°F, 37°C=98.6°F。
电话号码和价格
intermediateCan I have the phone number for the restaurant?
能给我那家餐厅的电话号码吗?
Sure. It's (212) 555-0147. That's area code two-one-two, five-five-five, zero-one-four-seven.
好的。(212) 555-0147。区号 two-one-two,five-five-five,zero-one-four-seven。
英语里电话号码的念法因人而异:有人逐个念(five-five-five),有人组合念(triple five, double-oh)。0 经常读作 oh 而不是 zero。
212-555-0147. Got it. And how much is dinner there per person?
212-555-0147。记下了。那里每人晚餐多少钱?
Entrees range from $18 to $35. With an appetizer and drink, you're looking at about $45 to $60 per person. Don't forget to tip — 18 to 20 percent is standard.
主菜从18美元到35美元不等。加上前菜和饮料,每人大约45到60美元。别忘了小费——18%到20%是标准。
在小费文化浓厚的地区,小费几乎是默认要给的,不给可能会冒犯服务人员。以当地惯例为准。
So for two people, about $90 to $120 before tip. And with 20% tip, that's... $108 to $144?
那两个人大概90到120美元,不含小费。加20%小费就是……108到144美元?
Your math is good! A quick tip — to calculate 20%, just move the decimal point one place left to get 10%, then double it. So $100 is $10 times two, which is $20 tip.
算术不错!一个小技巧——算20%的时候,先把小数点左移一位得到10%,然后翻倍。比如100美元,10美元乘以二,就是20美元小费。
That's a great trick! By the way, what's the exchange rate right now? I want to convert to yuan in my head.
好方法!对了,现在汇率是多少?我想在脑子里换算成人民币。
Last I checked, one US dollar is about 7.2 Chinese yuan. So your $120 dinner would be around 864 yuan. Not cheap! But it's a big city.
上次看是1美元大约兑7.2人民币。所以120美元的晚餐大概是864人民币。不便宜!不过这可是大城市嘛。
864 yuan for one dinner — my mom would faint! But it's a special occasion. One more question — what's the Wi-Fi password at your hotel?
一顿饭864人民币——我妈要晕倒了!但这是特别的场合。最后一个问题——你们酒店的Wi-Fi密码是什么?
Ha! The password is GrandHotel2026, all one word. Capital G, capital H, then the numbers two-zero-two-six. No spaces.
哈!密码是 GrandHotel2026,连在一起写。大写G,大写H,然后数字 two-zero-two-six。没有空格。
