21. Invitation to Lunch 請吃午飯
    A: Frances, do you know if the cafeteria around the corner's open today?
    B: Yes. They were open this morning when I came to work. They must've finished remodeling. Why'd you want to know?
    A: Well, I thought that maybe we could go there for lunch today. That is. If you haven't promised to go with someone else.
    B: That'd be wonderful, Joe. But I hope you're in a better mood than you were this morning.
    A: I'm sorry I was such a grouch. It must've been the weather. When it rains I get depressed.
    B: Forget it. I'll see you at twelvethirty.

    Why'd you-why did you

    A:弗朗西斯,你知道街角上的自助餐廳今天開門營業(yè)嗎?
    B:是的,今天早上我來上班時看到它開著。他們大概已經(jīng)裝修好了。為什么你想知道?
    A:嗯,我想我們今天可以去那兒吃午飯。就是說,如果你沒答應(yīng)別人去的話。
    B:那太好了,喬。不過我希望你現(xiàn)在的情緒比早上要好一些。
    A:很抱歉,我的脾氣那么不好。大概是天氣的緣故。每當(dāng)下雨我就很沮喪。
    B:忘掉這事吧。十二點半再見。
