英语博客：ESL Podcast 705 – An Exclusive Guest List
时间：2019-01-11 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Catherine: Do you have a draft of the guest list? We need to get the invitations out next week.
Ralph: It’s not quite done yet. I keep going back and forth 1 about a few people I’m not sure about, like Lacy Say.
Catherine: Lacy Say? She’s a has-been. She hasn’t been in a movie for years. We only want people on the A-list at this party.
Ralph: What about Jess McGillan? I’m on the fence about him.
Catherine: He’s definitely a D-lister. This party is very exclusive and we don’t want any D-listers rubbing elbows with VIPs.
Ralph: I understand that, but what if we don’t get enough A-listers to come?
Catherine: That will not happen. This party has to be a success!
Ralph: And if we don’t have enough guests because we’ve excluded so many D-list celebrities 2?
Catherine: There will always be gatecrashers. We can let in a few to buff up the numbers, if push comes to shove.
Ralph: What happens to the exclusivity of the party if that happens?
Catherine: If that happens, this party has bombed and I don’t care if we even let in podcasters!
