Small Talk at the Office Coffee Machine

Morning, Helen! Did you have a nice weekend?

早上好，Helen！周末过得开心吗？

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

挺好的，谢谢！我和我妹妹去了海边。

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

海边？十月份？不冷吗？

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

冷死了！不过我们吃了热乎乎的薯条，所以还好。

What about you, Ben? What did you do?

你呢，Ben？你做什么了？

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

没干什么。下了一整个周末的雨，所以我就待在家里。

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

哎，真可惜。不过今天出太阳了。

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

是啊，而且比昨天暖和！

Ugh, the coffee machine isn't working again!

唉，咖啡机又坏了！

Really? It broke last Monday, too!

真的吗？上周一也坏过一次！

What should I do? Press the red button?

我该怎么办？按那个红色按钮吗？

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

嗯，我也不确定……你关掉再开一下试试。

Wow, it works! Hot coffee at last!

哇，好了！终于有热咖啡了！

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

呃，打扰一下。我也可以在这里冲杯咖啡吗？

Of course! Are you new here?

当然可以！你是新来的吗？

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

是的，今天是我第一天上班。我是市场部的Anna。

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

欢迎你，Anna！我是Ben，这位是Helen。

So, how is your first day going?

那么，第一天过得怎么样？

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

哎，有点紧张。这里比我以前的公司大多了。

Don't worry. Everyone here is really friendly.

别担心。这里的人都很友好。

Except the coffee machine. It hates everyone!

除了咖啡机。它谁都讨厌！

Ha! Thanks, that's good to know.

哈！谢谢，知道这个挺有用的。

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

嘿，我们中午一起吃饭吧？

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

好主意！车站附近新开了一家披萨店。

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

贵吗？我没带多少钱。

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

别担心，比楼下的咖啡馆还便宜。

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

好，那就12点半吃午饭。别迟到！

I won't! Thank you both so much.

不会的！太谢谢你们俩了。

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

我还是带上我的咖啡吧，以防万一！
