英語(yǔ)播客初級(jí)版 第207期(外教講解):葬禮安排

A: Hi， Daniel, how are you holding up? I am greatly sorry for your loss.
B: Thank you, I’m doing much better. I’ve begun organizing everything for the funeral.
A: How’s that going?
B: It’s a lot harder than I imagined. There are many things that you have to to arrange. I booked a time and date with the funeral home, but I still have a lot of things to do.
A: Have you bought a burial plot and a casket?
B: No. Wendy is being cremated. She always talked about how she didn’t want to be buried. I already chose a cremation urn and we plan to spread the ashes in the ocean.
A: I see, that sounds like something she would have really liked. I am sure the memorial service will be tasteful. You are doing a great job.
B: Thanks, it hasn’t been easy, but luckily we have life insurance and Wendy left behind a detailed will that will sort out any other legal matters.

A: Daniel，你是怎么樣熬過(guò)來(lái)的?對(duì)你失去親人，我感到很難過(guò)。
B: 謝謝，我現(xiàn)在能較好地處理，我開(kāi)始為葬禮做準(zhǔn)備。
A: 那進(jìn)行得怎么樣?
B: 比我想得要難。有很多事都需要你安排。我和殯儀館預(yù)約了時(shí)間和日期。但我仍有很多事要做。
A: 你買墓地和棺材了嗎?
B: 沒(méi)有。Wendy將會(huì)被火化。她總是說(shuō)不想被埋葬。我已經(jīng)選了一個(gè)骨灰盒，計(jì)劃將骨灰撒到海里。
A: 我明白了，那聽(tīng)起來(lái)很像她喜歡的做法。我肯定吊念服務(wù)會(huì)很高雅。你做得很好。
B: 謝謝，安排葬禮并不容易，幸運(yùn)地是我們有人壽保險(xiǎn)，而且Wendy留下了處理法律事務(wù)的詳細(xì)遺囑。
