【生活英文】一则关于放假的对话 Let’s talk about vacation!
星期三就来谈放假的事好像是早了些……
不过，这依然挡不住大家对于休息的热爱呢！Anyway, let’s talk about the vacation stuff!
我们先来看对话：
A: I'm so glad the weekend's finally here.
B: Me too. Imagine. It's a long weekend. We've got three days in a row.
A: So, where're you going?
B: I don't have any plans yet. I'll just play it by ear. How about you?
A: We're going to go hiking and camping in the mountains.
B: That sounds exciting!
A: Wanna join us?
B: Hm, let me think about it. I'll let you know later.
A：我真高兴，周末终于到了。
B：我也是。想想看，这可是个长周末。我们能连着休三天。
A：你打算去哪儿啊？
B：我还没什么计划呢。我准备见机行事。你呢？
A：我们准备去山里徒步和露营。
B：那听起来很让人激动呢！
A：想加入我们一起吗？
B：嗯，让我想想看。我迟点告诉你。
对话中包含很多有用的日常用语。近年来国人对于黄金周和小长假都很熟悉，小长假，其实就可以译成对话中的：
a long weekend
如果想说放假连续休多少天，会用上这个短语：
in a row
连续不断地；一个接一个地
three days in a row 接连三天
five days in a row 接连五天
seven days in a row 接连七天
如果我们期盼的某个日子或某个事件最终发生了、终于来了，我们可以用这个句型：
… is finally here.
The Spring Festival is finally here.
春节终于到来了。
The summer vacation is finally here.
暑假终于来了。
对话中出现了一个成语：
play it by ear
见机行事；随机而变；临时发挥
I had no time to prepare for this meeting, so I'll have to play it by ear.
我没有时间准备这次会议, 所以只好有什么谈什么。
We'll see what the weather's like and play it by ear.
我们看天气情况再见机行事。
来复习一下go + V-ing，这个结构表示从事某项活动或运动：
go hiking 去徒步
go camping 去露营
go swimming 去游泳
go surfing 去冲浪
go skiing 去滑雪
go shopping 去购物
wanna的用法之前讲过，可回看：
最后再说一下这个常用短语：
let sb. know = tell sb. 告知/告诉某人
Please let me know about it soon.
请尽快告知此事。
I don't know if I can come, but I'll let you know tomorrow.
我不知道是否能来，但我明天会告诉你。
Now it's your time to open your mouth and practice! 张开嘴巴练起来！
