PETER: | Last summer it was very dry, too. 去年夏天也干得很。 Don't you remember? 你不记得了吗? I had to water it every day. 我不得不每天浇水。 |
SUSAN: | Well, I'll have tea by myself. 好吧,我一个人喝茶了。 |
SUSAN: | That was quick! 好快啊! Have you finished already? 你已经浇完了? |
PETER: | Yes. 是的。 Look out of the window. 你看看窗外。 |
SUSAN: | It's raining! 下雨了! That means you don't need to water the garden. 这就是说,你不必给花园浇水了。 |
PETER: | That was a pleasant surprise. 这是意想不到的好事。 It means I can have tea, instead. 这意味着我反倒可以喝茶了。 |
