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

史提芬：這個周末我們應該帶同事們去慶祝一下。

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，計劃案很成功。現在結束了，我想我們應該辦個慶功宴。

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：但我不知道要怎么慶祝。

我們可以邀請他們去紅龍蝦聚餐，然后再來這里喝東西。

ALBERT: This place?

艾博特：這個地方？

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：對啊，不好嗎？這是附近最好的酒吧之一 。

很多職員住在這兒附近，所以很方便。

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

艾博特：我有個提議，何不去 KTV 唱歌？

STEVEN: A KTV? Are you serious?

史提芬：KTV？你說真的嗎？

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

艾博特：是啊，不好嗎？你不喜歡 KTV 嗎？

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

史提芬：我不知道，我沒去過。

ALBERT: Never? Really? I'm surprised.

艾博特：沒去過？真的？我很驚訝。

STEVEN: Why should you be?

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

史提芬：有什么好驚訝的？很多美國人都沒去過 KTV，這不是美國人的活動。

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

艾博特：但是鎮上有很多家 KTV，離這里兩條街的地方就有一家。

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：那是因為這里有很多亞洲移民。

他們的客人都是亞洲人。美國人通常不會和朋友出去唱歌。

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。

的確是真的，我去鎮上的 KTV 時，幾乎都沒有西方人。

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：你知道嗎，史提芬，我們公司有一半的職員都是從日本來的，

所以對他們來說去KTV 會很好玩。

STEVEN: But what about the other employees?

史提芬：但是其他的職員呢？

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

We'd have to teach you, of course.

艾博特：你們也會玩得愉快的。當然我們會教你們。

STEVEN: Do they have English songs there?

史提芬：那兒有英文歌嗎？

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

艾博特：當然有，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：或許明天我們應該在辦公室提議，我愿意嘗試看看。

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。

我們在美國的日本人總是要學習美國文化。

可以介紹日本的東西對你們也不錯。

STEVEN: Let's give it a try then.

史提芬：那么讓我們試試吧。
