美語情景對話 第1286期:Where is a good place for a first date? 第一次約會的好去處?
Jingwei: Hi, I'm Jingwei.
京薇：嗨，我是京薇。Joseph: I'm Joseph.
約瑟夫：我是約瑟夫。Jingwei: And we're both from Singapore, and today our question is what's a good place for a first date in Singapore?
京薇：我們兩個人都來自新加坡，今天要討論的問題是在新加坡，哪裏是首次約會的好去處？
Joseph: Wow, OK, that's a tricky question. Well, what do girls think is the most important thing for the first date?
約瑟夫：哇哦，好，這是一個敏感的問題。就首次約會來說，女生認爲最重要的是什麼？Jingwei: For me, personally, good conversation, definitely. Some one who is funny enough to impress me. So a good place might be somewhere where you can actually hear each other, so no, not clubs, possibly the Esplanade Park.
京薇：我個人認爲愉悅的交談最重要。對方應該是足以令我印象深刻的風趣的人。這樣看來，可以聽清楚對方談話的地方可能更適合一些，不能去俱樂部，海濱公園是個不錯的選擇。Joseph: Yeah, I quite like Esplanade. There are interesting places there like the cookie museum which is quite a novel experience actually, because they have cookies with a lot of local flavors as well as exotic flavors, so you could have some interesting conversations about the place. As for me, I prefer Clark Quay because it's some place that's rather quiet.
約瑟夫：嗯，我非常喜歡海濱公園。那裏有很多不錯的地方，比如餅乾博物館，那會是一次全新的體驗，因爲博物館裏有很多餅乾，既有地方風味的餅乾也有異國風味的餅乾，你們可以進行有意思的對話。我認爲克拉碼頭是個不錯的去處，那裏相當安靜。Jingwei: It's by the river.
京薇：克拉碼頭在河畔。Joseph: Yeah, Singapore river is one of the most scenic locations we have in our little country.
約瑟夫：對，新加坡河是我們這個小國家風景最優美的地方之一。Jingwei: Yeah.
京薇：對。Joseph: Nice joints we can grab a bite, so I recommend Clark Quay. It's Esplanade for you Jingwei?
約瑟夫：那裏有不錯的餐廳，我們可以去吃東西。所以我推薦克拉碼頭。京薇，你推薦海濱公園，是嗎？Jingwei: Yep. Lucky for you, right.
京薇：對。祝你好運。
