生活英語情景口語:靈魂伴侶

A: have you heard the big news?
J: what big news?
A: Olivia and Nicholas are engaged! He proposed to her last night at a fancy restaurant.
J: I didn’t even know they were dating!
A: after Nicholas’ ex-girlfriend cheated on him, they realized that they had a great friendship and that maybe they were meant to be with each other.
J: they really are perfect for each other. I can’t think of a better-matched couple than them!
A: I heard that they are planning to have an extravagant wedding ceremony in a church with a reception in an expensive restaurant on the lake.
J: have they asked anyone to be in the wedding party yet?
A: I think Nicholas asked anyone to be his best man and Olivia asked Kaitlyn to be her maid of honour. They both have big families, so their siblings will be the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
J: it sounds like they’ve done a lot of planning in a very short time. Have they decided where they are going to go for their honeymoon?
A: I haven’t heard where they will go yet, but I bet you they will go to a beach somewhere; you know how they both love surfing.
J: you know, most people find it difficult to find their soul mate, but they’ve made it seem extremely easy!

你聽說那個特大新聞了嗎？
什麼事？
奧莉薇亞和尼古拉斯訂婚啦！他昨晚在一家高級餐廳向她求婚了。
我壓根就不知道他們倆在約會。
尼古拉斯的女朋友背叛了他之後，他們才意識到彼此的友情是多麼深厚，對方纔是自己的”那個人”.
他們倆真是天生一對。真是再沒什麼人比他們更般配了。
我聽說他們打算在教堂辦一場豪華的婚禮。還在湖邊的一家高級餐廳訂了酒席。
他們請了伴郎伴娘沒有?
我想尼古拉斯會請傑克做伴郎，奧莉薇亞會請凱特林做伴娘。而且他們兩個人家裏親戚都很多，兄弟姐妹都可以做儐相。
好像他倆在很短的時間內策劃了很多事情。他們決定去哪裏渡蜜月了嗎？
這個倒還沒聽他們說過，不過我敢打賭肯定回去海邊。你知道的，他們倆多喜歡衝浪。
要知道，想找到個心靈相通的伴侶有多難，可是他們倆好像手到擒來。
