地道美語聽力播客840: 參加活動時穿著得體

Patricia: Hey, look at you! You’re all decked out. What’s the occasion?
帕特里夏：嘿，看看你，穿的這么光彩照人。你這是要去什么場合？
Renaud: I’m going to the Ortegas’s party. Aren’t you?
雷諾：我要去參加奧爾特加的派對，你不是也要去嗎？
Patricia: Yeah, but I’m not getting all dolled up for it. I think the dress is casual.
帕特里夏：是的，但是我不會為此盛裝打扮。我覺得隨意穿著即可。
Renaud: I heard that it’s going to be an upscale affair and I don’t want to be underdressed.
雷諾：我聽說是件挺高檔的事情呢，我不想穿得太隨意。
Patricia: But I’d rather not be overdressed.
帕特里夏：但我寧愿不要穿得太過了。
Renaud: Okay, then what are you wearing?
雷諾：好吧，那你打算穿什么？
Patricia: I’m going to dress up these jeans with a chic blouse. And then I’m going to accessorize with this necklace as a statement piece.
帕特里夏：我就穿這件牛仔褲搭配一件時髦的襯衫。然后戴上這條項鏈作為點綴。
Renaud: That’s a nice outfit, but it’s more appropriate for a casual event, not a party.
雷諾：這樣搭配很不錯，不過是對于非正式的場合來說，要是參加派對就不太合適了。
Patricia: But that’s what I’m trying to tell you. This is not a formal affair.
帕特里夏：這正是我想要對你說的。這并不是什么正式的事兒。
Renaud: Do what you like, but I’m not going to risk being inappropriately dressed for one of the Ortegas’s parties. I don’t want to be blacklisted and not be invited in the future. Their parties are legendary, with the best food, the best booze...
帕特里夏：隨你便吧。我可不想冒險在奧爾特加的派對上穿著不當(dāng)。我不想被列入黑名單，那樣以后就都不會被邀請了。他們的派對簡直就像傳奇一樣，有最好的食物、最好的酒飲。。。。。。
Patricia: Oh, you’re right. What was I thinking?!
帕特里夏：嗯，你說得對。我到底在想什么？！
