STEVEN: We should take our coworkers out to celebrate this weekend.

史提芬：这个周末我们应该带同事们去庆祝一下。

ALBERT: Yes, the project was a big success.Now that it's finished, I think we should have a party.

艾博特：是的，计划案很成功。现在结束了，我想我们应该办个庆功宴。

STEVEN: But I'm not sure what to do.

We could invite them all to dinner at the Red Lobster, and then come here for drinks.

史提芬：但我不知道要怎么庆祝。

我们可以邀请他们去红龙虾聚餐，然后再来这里喝东西。

ALBERT: This place?

艾博特：这个地方？

STEVEN: Yes, why not? This is one of the best pubs in the neighborhood.

A lot of the employees live around here. So it would be convenient.

史提芬：对啊，不好吗？这是附近最好的酒吧之一 。

很多职员住在这儿附近，所以很方便。

ALBERT: I have a suggestion. Why don't we go to a KTV and sing?

艾博特：我有个提议，何不去 KTV 唱歌？

STEVEN: A KTV? Are you serious?

史提芬：KTV？你说真的吗？

ALBERT: Yes, why not? Don't you like KTVs?

艾博特：是啊，不好吗？你不喜欢 KTV 吗？

STEVEN: I don't know. I never went to one.

史提芬：我不知道，我没去过。

ALBERT: Never? Really? I'm surprised.

艾博特：没去过？真的？我很惊讶。

STEVEN: Why should you be?

Many Americans have never gone to a KTV. It's not an American thing to do.

史提芬：有什么好惊讶的？很多美国人都没去过 KTV，这不是美国人的活动。

ALBERT: But there are a lot of KTVs in town. There's one just two blocks from here.

艾博特：但是镇上有很多家 KTV，离这里两条街的地方就有一家。

STEVEN: That's because there are a lot of Asian immigrants here.

All their customers are Asians. Americans don't usually go out to sing with their friends.

史提芬：那是因为这里有很多亚洲移民。

他们的客人都是亚洲人。美国人通常不会和朋友出去唱歌。

ALBERT: I suppose.

It's true that when I go to a KTV here in town, there are almost no Westerners.

艾博特：我想也是。

的确是真的，我去镇上的 KTV 时，几乎都没有西方人。

STEVEN: See?

史提芬：看吧？

ALBERT: But you know, Steven--half of the employees in our company are from Japan.So going to a KTV would be fun for them.

艾博特：你知道吗，史提芬，我们公司有一半的职员都是从日本来的，

所以对他们来说去KTV 会很好玩。

STEVEN: But what about the other employees?

史提芬：但是其他的职员呢？

ALBERT: Well, I think you would have a good time too.

We'd have to teach you, of course.

艾博特：你们也会玩得愉快的。当然我们会教你们。

STEVEN: Do they have English songs there?

史提芬：那儿有英文歌吗？

ALBERT: Of course. They have a lot of English songs.

艾博特：当然有，有很多英文歌。

STEVEN: Well, maybe we should suggest it to the office tomorrow. I'm willing to try.

史提芬：或许明天我们应该在办公室提议，我愿意尝试看看。

ALBERT: Good.

We Japanese working in America always have to learn about American culture.

It would be good to introduce something Japanese to you.

艾博特：很好。

我们在美国的日本人总是要学习美国文化。

可以介绍日本的东西对你们也不错。

STEVEN: Let's give it a try then.

史提芬：那么让我们试试吧。
