天下没有不散的筵席,有些朋友一分开就是很久。再次相见不容易,老朋友的外貌、性格和行为习惯也往往会有改变,这个时候我们该如何用英文和他们寒暄呢?
情境对话
Amy: Hi, Susan. Its me.
Susan: Come in, please, Amy.
Amy: I havent seen you for five years. You have changed a lot. Your hair used to be short, but now you have long curly hair.
Susan: How do you like it?
Amy: Great! This hairstyle looks quite nice on you.
Susan: Thanks. Sorry, Im so excited that I almost forget to offer you something. Anything to drink?
Amy: Coffee, please.
Susan: Just a minute. It will be ready soon.
(After a long talk, its time for Amy to go.)
Susan: Its really hard to say goodbye to you. What a great time we had.
