Arranging at School Pickup · 在学校门口约 Playdate
basicHi! Are you Emma's mom? My daughter Lily keeps talking about Emma — they seem to really get along!
你好！你是Emma的妈妈吗？我女儿Lily老是提起Emma——她们好像很合得来！
Oh hi! Yes, I'm Sarah. Emma talks about Lily all the time too! They're like two peas in a pod. I've been meaning to reach out, actually.
哦你好！对，我是Sarah。Emma也总提起Lily！她们就像一个模子里刻出来的。其实我一直想联系你来着。
Would Emma like to come over to our place this Saturday for a playdate? Maybe around 10 in the morning?
Emma这周六想来我们家玩吗？大概早上10点？
Oh, she would love that! Saturday at 10 works great. Um, how long were you thinking? I have a hair appointment at 1, so I'd need to pick her up before that.
哦，她肯定超开心！周六10点没问题。嗯，你打算玩多久？我1点有个理发预约，所以得在那之前来接她。
How about 10 to 12:30? That gives them a good couple hours. I can have lunch ready too if that's okay — does Emma have any food allergies I should know about?
10点到12:30怎么样？这样有两个多小时。我也可以准备午饭，如果可以的话——Emma有什么食物过敏需要我注意的吗？
💡 美国家长非常注重食物过敏。邀请别人孩子来玩之前一定问'Does your child have any allergies?'这是必须问的礼貌问题。
That's so sweet of you! Actually yes — Emma has a pretty serious peanut allergy. She carries an EpiPen in her backpack. I'll show you how to use it, just in case. Other than that, she eats everything.
你真是太贴心了！其实有的——Emma有比较严重的花生过敏。她书包里有EpiPen（肾上腺素自动注射器）。我教你怎么用，以防万一。除此之外，她什么都吃。
Oh, good to know. I'll make sure there's absolutely nothing with peanuts. Would pasta with tomato sauce and some fruit be safe?
哦，了解了。我会确保完全没有花生相关的东西。番茄酱意面加一些水果安全吗？
Perfect, she loves pasta! Here, let me give you my number so you can text me if anything comes up. And honestly, just knowing you asked about allergies — that already makes me feel so much better.
太完美了，她超爱意面！来，我把号码给你，有什么事可以随时发短信给我。说实话，光是你主动问过敏的事——我就已经放心很多了。
Of course! Safety first. Alright, Saturday at 10 — we're looking forward to it! Lily is going to be so excited.
当然啦！安全第一。好的，周六10点——我们很期待！Lily肯定会超兴奋的。
Same here! Emma's gonna be thrilled. Okay, see you Saturday! Oh wait — what's your address? I know you're in the neighborhood but I'm not sure exactly which house.
我们也是！Emma肯定超开心。好的，周六见！哦等等——你家地址是？我知道你住这附近但不确定具体是哪栋。
