考慮現(xiàn)實問題

Kathy and Evan continue discussing the possibility of going to Europe for a trip.

凱西和艾凡繼續(xù)討論到歐洲旅行一趟的可能性。

E:That would be great, just you and me traveling around Europe. But,wait. Reality check.

艾凡：就只有你和我到歐洲旅行，這太棒了。不過且慢。考慮一下現(xiàn)實問題。

K:But what? You mean it's too expensive?

凱西：考慮什么?你的意思是到歐洲旅行太貴了。

E:Precisely! Do you know how much it would cost? I could afford the air fare maybe, but, you know, the hotels and everything would be pricey.

艾凡：完全正確!你知道那要花多少錢嗎?我也許可以負擔(dān)機票錢，但是，你知道旅館和其它所有的費用很花錢的。

K:But we wouldn't have to stay in hotels.

凱西：但是我們并不需要住在旅館啊。

E:We wouldn't?

艾凡：不用嗎?

K:Of course not. We might be able to stay with our relatives. Even if we couldn't, we could always stay in hostels.

凱西：當(dāng)然不用。我們也許可以住在我們親戚家里。即使不能，也可以都住在青年旅社里。

E:I forgot about hostels! They're much cheaper.

艾凡：我忘了青年旅社，住那兒便宜多了。

K:They certainly are. And we could take ground transportation throughout Europe, too.

凱西：當(dāng)然。而且我們也可以走鐵公路游歐洲。

E:And not buy too much. But can we get tickets in time?

艾凡：而且不要買太多東西。但是我們可以及時買到機票嗎?

K:I don't know, but I do know a guy in my neighborhood who works in a travel agency. I could ask him.

凱西：我不知道，但我認識我家附近一個在旅行社工作的人。我可以問他。

E:Oh? Who is this guy?

艾凡：哦?這家伙是誰?

K:Oh? Aren't we jealous all of a sudden!

凱西：哦?我是不是突然聞到一股醋味呢!
