The Anniversary

周年庆

Jessica: So Ashley, what are you going to do this summer?

杰西卡：嗯，阿什莉，今年夏天你准备干嘛？

Ashley: I am really excited. This summer I'm going to my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary. We are having a huge party and I'm really excited. My entire family is going to be there. They're renting a house in Lake Tahoe, which is where my mom grew up, and where my grandparents spent the majority of their life together. We'll be there for a week, on the lake, boating, jet skiing, that whole thing, and then this Saturday we're having a party with people I've never even met. Everyone's gonna be there. I'm really excited.

阿什莉：我非常兴奋。今年夏天我要参加我外祖父母结婚50周年庆。我们要举办一次很大的聚会，我真的很期待。我家所有人都会出席。他们在太浩湖边租了一个大房子，那是我妈妈长大的地方，也是我外祖父母待得时间最长的地方。我们将要住一星期，我们会在湖上划船，喷气滑雪，等等，那个星期六我们将要举行宴会，和许多从没见过的人一起。每个人都会到场。我真的很兴奋。

Jessica: Oh, that's wonderful. So how many of your family member will be there?

杰西卡：哦，那真好。那你家里有多少人会到呢？

Ashley: Oh, gosh, I have no idea. Every time I speak to my mother I hear somebody knew who has been invited and somebody else is going to be there. I'm really excited. It's going to be a lot of fun. My grandparents are crazy. They actually got engaged a month after they met, and February, the shortest month of the year. My grandfather told my grandmother he loved her a week after they met, and then he proposed and then he was in service so he went away until August. They didn't see each other until they got married. Yeah, my grandmother says, "If any of you kids do this, we'll kill you." I can't believe 50 years later they're still together.

阿什莉：哦，天啊，我不知道。每次我和妈妈谈起的时候，总会听到认识的谁谁谁被邀请了，另外的谁谁谁要到。我真的很期待。那会很有趣。我的外祖父母们很疯狂。他们认识一个月之后就订婚了，然后我外祖父就求婚了，再后来他去服兵役，直到8月份才回来。他们直到结婚才见面。还有，我外祖母说过，“如果你的孩子也像你一样，我会杀了你。”我真不敢相信50年之后，他们仍然在一起。
