你會跟誰一起度過情人節(jié)？會在情人節(jié)當天做什么
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So, Trina, Monday is Valentine's day. Are you excited?
 
特瑞娜，周一是情人節(jié)，你興奮嗎？
 
B: No!
 
不興奮！
 
A: That was a pretty direct answer. Why are you not excited? It's a holiday.
 
這還真是個直接的回答。你為什么不興奮呢？這是節(jié)日啊。

這是有他人陪伴的人們的節(jié)日。
 
A: So, you're not happy because you don't have other people?
 
那你不開心的原因是你沒有人陪伴？
 
B: I have other people. I have my sister and my mom and my dad and my friends, but Valentine's day is more of a holiday for people that have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, or a wife, or a husband, or children as opposed to being a single person with nobody to share it with.
 
我有人陪伴。我有妹妹、媽媽、爸爸，還有朋友們，但是情人節(jié)是那些有男朋友、女朋友或是有妻子、丈夫、孩子的人過的節(jié)日，而不是單身一人，沒有人共度時光的人們過的節(jié)日。

但是你不能和你妹妹、媽媽或是爸爸一起過嗎？

我可以，可以，我們就是這么做的。我們會互相送禮物。但是今年，沒有人和我一起過，不過這周末我會和我妹妹一起慶祝一下。
