Small Talk at the Office Coffee Machine

Morning, Helen! Did you have a nice weekend?

早安，Helen！週末過得好嗎？

Yes, thanks! I went to the beach with my sister.

很好，謝謝！我跟我妹妹去了海邊。

The beach? In October? Wasn't it cold?

海邊？十月？不會冷嗎？

Very cold! But we had hot chips, so it was fine.

超冷的！不過我們吃了熱騰騰的薯條，所以還好。

What about you, Ben? What did you do?

那你呢，Ben？你做了什麼？

Not much. It rained all weekend, so I stayed at home.

沒做什麼。整個週末都在下雨，所以我就待在家。

Oh, that's a shame. Well, it's sunny today.

唉，真可惜。不過今天出太陽了。

Yes, and it's warmer than yesterday, too!

對啊，而且比昨天暖和！

Ugh, the coffee machine isn't working again!

唉，咖啡機又壞了！

Really? It broke last Monday, too!

真的嗎？上禮拜一也壞過一次！

What should I do? Press the red button?

我該怎麼辦？按那個紅色按鈕嗎？

Hmm, I'm not sure... Try turning it off and on.

嗯，我也不太確定……你關掉再打開試試看。

Wow, it works! Hot coffee at last!

哇，好了！終於有熱咖啡了！

Um, excuse me. Can I make a coffee here, too?

呃，不好意思。我也可以在這裡泡杯咖啡嗎？

Of course! Are you new here?

當然可以！妳是新來的嗎？

Yes, today's my first day. I'm Anna, from marketing.

對，今天是我第一天上班。我是行銷部的Anna。

Welcome, Anna! I'm Ben, and this is Helen.

歡迎妳，Anna！我是Ben，這位是Helen。

So, how is your first day going?

那第一天過得怎麼樣？

Oh, a bit scary. It's much bigger than my old office.

唉，有點緊張。這裡比我以前的辦公室大很多。

Don't worry. Everyone here is really friendly.

別擔心。這裡的大家都很友善。

Except the coffee machine. It hates everyone!

除了咖啡機啦。它誰都討厭！

Ha! Thanks, that's good to know.

哈！謝謝，知道這個很有用。

Hey, why don't we all have lunch together?

欸，我們中午一起吃飯好不好？

Great idea! There's a new pizza place near the station.

好主意！車站附近新開了一家披薩店。

Is it expensive? I didn't bring much money.

會很貴嗎？我沒帶很多錢。

Don't worry, it's cheaper than the café downstairs.

別擔心，比樓下的咖啡廳還便宜。

Okay, so lunch at half past twelve. Don't be late!

好，那就12點半吃午餐。不要遲到喔！

I won't! Thank you both so much.

不會啦！真的很謝謝你們兩位。

And I'll bring my coffee, just in case!

我還是帶著我的咖啡好了，以防萬一！
