aJessica is going back to Holland next week. I've been thinking a lot about what to give her as a parting gift, but I still have no clue.
杰西卡下周就要会荷兰了,我一直在想该选个东西作为分别的礼物,但是还没有头绪.
bis that the girl you spent almost every weekend with?
是那个你哦几乎每周都和她在一起的女孩吗?
ayeah, that's her. We had a lot of wonderful times together. She is really a special friend, and I want to get her something meaningful.
嗯,就是她.我们在一起有过很多快乐的时光.她是一个很特别的朋友,我想送给她一件有意义的礼物.
bI am not good at picking gifts. Maybe you can ask if there's anything she needs to make it easier?
我也不太会挑礼物.要不你先问问她想要什么,这样就能容易点儿?
aI don't think so. That way it would lose all the charm. I want it to be a surprise. I want to show her that I care about her and I hope our friendship will last.
不要这样,否则就没有意思了.我想给她个惊喜,想让她知道我很珍惜她,希望我们的友谊能够持久.
byeah, that's nice.
嗯,这样不错.
ahmm, I think I've got an idea. Maybe I can get her an ever-green plant to take back home.
我有主意了.或许我可以送给她一盆长青的植物带回家去.
ba plant? That's creative. I'm sure ever time she waters it she'll think of you. But there is a problem. Do you think it'll be able to go through the customs?
一盆植物?挺有创意的,我相信她浇水的时候总能想起你.但是有一个问题,你觉得植物能过海关吗?
aI hope so. I'll make sure to get a small one so she can put it into her suitcase. I hope it won't cause her trouble at the border.
希望吧.我会选个小的,这样她就能放在箱子里面了,我不想过海关的时候给她惹麻烦.
bI don't know. I think the idea of a plant going across borders with a friend is really exciting but maybe seeds would be safer. You don't want to get her in trouble.
