美语情景对话 第1286期:Where is a good place for a first date? 第一次约会的好去处?
Jingwei: Hi, I'm Jingwei.
京薇：嗨，我是京薇。Joseph: I'm Joseph.
约瑟夫：我是约瑟夫。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：我们两个人都来自新加坡，今天要讨论的问题是在新加坡，哪里是首次约会的好去处？
Joseph: Wow, OK, that's a tricky question. Well, what do girls think is the most important thing for the first date?
约瑟夫：哇哦，好，这是一个敏感的问题。就首次约会来说，女生认为最重要的是什么？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：我个人认为愉悦的交谈最重要。对方应该是足以令我印象深刻的风趣的人。这样看来，可以听清楚对方谈话的地方可能更适合一些，不能去俱乐部，海滨公园是个不错的选择。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.
约瑟夫：嗯，我非常喜欢海滨公园。那里有很多不错的地方，比如饼干博物馆，那会是一次全新的体验，因为博物馆里有很多饼干，既有地方风味的饼干也有异国风味的饼干，你们可以进行有意思的对话。我认为克拉码头是个不错的去处，那里相当安静。Jingwei: It's by the river.
京薇：克拉码头在河畔。Joseph: Yeah, Singapore river is one of the most scenic locations we have in our little country.
约瑟夫：对，新加坡河是我们这个小国家风景最优美的地方之一。Jingwei: Yeah.
京薇：对。Joseph: Nice joints we can grab a bite, so I recommend Clark Quay. It's Esplanade for you Jingwei?
约瑟夫：那里有不错的餐厅，我们可以去吃东西。所以我推荐克拉码头。京薇，你推荐海滨公园，是吗？Jingwei: Yep. Lucky for you, right.
京薇：对。祝你好运。
