和老外聊天的地道口语第62期:AA制 和老外聊天的地道口语
Jessica: that was a really good meal, Gordon.
Goedon: It sure was. I couldn't eat another bite.
J: well, it is getting pretty late. I think we should go home.
G: you're right. I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow.
J: let's see how much the bill is.
G: don't worry about it. Tonight is my treat.
J: what are you talking about? We'll split the bill.
G: no, I insist. I kept telling you that I would treat you to dinner but I still haven't.
J: no way, Gordon. I know that you are a little short on cash at the moment. There's no need for you to pay for the whole bill.
G: alright, if that's the way you are going to be, we'll split the bill.
J: that's better. This way we will both have money to take a cab home, otherwise, you would probably have to walk.
G: just promise you will let me treat you to dinner next week, ok?
J: you've got a deal.
G: great. Bye.
J: bye.
