A：Hi, Bill. When did you get back?
嗨，比尔。你什么时候回来的？
B：About an hour ago. What’s new? Did anyone call for me while I was out?
回来有一个小时了。怎么样？我不在的时候有没有人打电话找我？
A：Yeah, someone named Johnson called this afternoon. He left word for you to call him. He’s at the Holiday Inn Hotel. You can get in touch with him there.
有一个叫约翰逊的下午打电话过来。他要你给他回电话。他住在假日酒店。你可以打那里的电话联系到他。
B：Oh, that’s my old friend from college, Dave Johnson. I knew he was coming to town. I didn’t expect him today, though. I must have got mixed up on the dates. What a great surprise!
哦，那是我的大学同窗好友戴维·约翰逊。我知道他要过来。不过没想到是今天。我一定是把日子搞混了。真是个天大的惊喜！
A：Should we ask him to our party tonight?
我们要不要请他来参加今晚的聚会？
B：I’d like to. But we’ve already invited twenty people. And the apartment is pretty small.
我是这么想。但是我们已经邀请了二十个人，房子又很小。
A：Don’t worry. We can always make room for one more. The more the merrier you know.
别担心。多一个还是不成问题的。人越多越开心嘛。
B：That’s true. And the other guests will like Dave. He’s very friendly, and he always has funny stories and jokes to tell.
没错。其他客人们也会喜欢戴维的。他很友善，而且总是逗大家笑。
A：Be sure to tell him not to dress up. It’s a casual party, you know.
告诉他不要穿得太隆重。你知道这是个非正式的聚会。
B：Okay. I’ll go pick Dave up. He doesn’t know this city. He might lose his way coming alone.
好的。我开车去接他。他不熟悉这个城市，一个人来可能会迷路的。
A：Okay, I’ll stay here and finish getting things ready for the party.
好吧，我留在这里准备聚会的事。
B：Sounds great. I’ll see you later then.
这样不错。一会见。
A：Okay. Bye!
好，再见！
