美語會話 51 red envelope 紅包
Brooke: So, got any more ideas for the website?
Shan: Well, since we're collecting gifts instead of red envelopes, I made a "for guests only" gift chat room.
Brooke: But we registered at Macy's. People can just buy gifts there.
Shan: The Taiwanese won't have time to buy gifts in America. The chat room is moreconvenient.
Brooke: You're right. They can discuss what to get and avoid buying the same things.
Shan: Or discuss what gifts they could buy together.

布魯克：那你對網(wǎng)站還有想法嗎?
阿 珊：既然我們只收禮物，不收禮金，我做了一個「賓客專屬」聊天室。
布魯克：但我們在梅西百貨公司登記過了。大家可以就去那里買禮物啊。
阿 珊：臺灣的賓客在美國不會有時間買禮物。有聊天室比較方便。
布魯克：你說得對。他們可以在聊天室里討論，避免買到同樣的東西。
阿 珊：或是討論要合送什么禮物。
