S: Hi, Mary. I haven't seen you in ages! I heard that you and Daniel are getting married on August 8th, the opening day of the 2008 Olympic Games. Is it true?

E: yes, it is. We've been dating for over 7 years. We have decided 1 to get married on a special day and we think August 8th, 2008 is a red-letter day.

S: good for you! It sounds like you've done a lot of planning in a very short time.

E: yes, there is a lot of to be taken care of---wedding photos, wedding dress, catering 2, transport, hotel, etc…

S: is everything ready now?

E: almost. The only thing that isn't ready is the hotel. As a lot of people have chosen that day to get married, it is hard to find a hotel that isn't too expensive.

S: have you tried The Peninsula 3 Palace Beijing? My wedding reception was held there and they did an excellent job.

E: yes, we called, but it is booked up. The only choice is the Regent Beijing but we haven't made up our minds yet.

S: it's an excellent hotel. A friend of mine had her wedding reception there and sasid it was perfect, though very expensive.

E: that's why we want to have a look at other hotels. We don’t want to spend too much on an extravagant 4 wedding reception.

S: I guess you're right. I can help you ask other hotels. I am sure there are probably some available.

E: thank you.

S: my pleasure.


嗨,玛丽,好久不见!听说你和丹尼尔打算8月8日,也就是2008年奥运会的第一天结婚,是真的吗?

是的,我们已经谈了7年恋爱,决定选个特殊的日子结婚。2008年8月8日正是个好日子。

太好了!看起来你们要在很短的时间内准备很多事情了。

是啊,要考虑很多事---拍结婚照,选婚纱,摆酒席,安排车辆等。

都准备好了吗?

差不多了,就剩酒店了。因为那天有很多人结婚,很难找到价位适合的酒店。

你试过王府半岛酒店吗?我的婚宴就在那儿办的,办的很好。

是的,打过电话了,但是已经订满了,就只剩下北京丽晶酒店了,我们还没决定呢。

北京丽晶酒店很好啊。我有个朋友就在那儿办的婚宴,听说不错,只是价格稍微贵了点。

所以我们想再看看。我们不想在婚宴上太铺张。

说的也是,我可以帮你问问其它酒店,肯定有一些还没订满。

谢谢你。

别客气。
