Happy Mother’s Day! 今年的母親節快要到囉,想好今年要如何幫媽媽慶祝母親節了嗎?今天就先來練習和送母親節禮物相關的英語會話吧!

 

BUYING A MOTHER'S DAY GIFT

Jessie: Mike, we need to talk about what to get Mom for Mother's Day.

Mike: Well, a card obviously. And I was thinking maybe we could get her a bunch of carnations.

Jessie: Yeah, but we get her that every year. How about we get her a different gift this year?

Mike: I don't mind getting her something else, but I think we should still get carnations because, you know, it's a tradition.

Jessie: Well, I was thinking of getting her a nice scarf. I saw a really beautiful cashmere one that I think she'll love.

Mike: All right. I'll get the card and the flowers, and you pick up the scarf. We can figure out the total amount and split it later.

Jessie: Sounds good to me.

 

【購買母親節禮物】

潔西:麥克,我們得討論母親節禮物要買什麼。

麥克:嗯,卡片是一定要的,我在想也許我們可以送她一束康乃馨。

潔西:好啊,但我們每年都送她這個,我們今年送她不同的禮物如何?

麥克:我不介意送她不同的禮物,但我還是覺得我們應該要送她康乃馨,因為妳知道的,這是傳統。

潔西:好,那麼我想我們可以送她不錯的圍巾,我之前有看到一條很美的羊毛圍巾,我想她應該會很喜歡。

麥克:好啊,那我負責準備卡片和花,妳去買圍巾,我們之後看總共花了多少錢再一起分。

潔西:聽起來還不錯。
