Adrienne: So, Mary, what's in the basket there?
埃德里安娜：玛丽，那边的篮子里有什么？
Mary: Oh, those are all the Christmas cards I received this year.
玛丽：哦，那些都是我今年收到的圣诞贺卡。
Adrienne: Oh, that's a lot.
埃德里安娜：哦，好多啊。
Mary: Yeah, it's quite a few. I had kind of an extensive 1 list for people I would send cards to but in October my hard drive crashed 2 and I lost my Christmas card list, so I had a hard time trying to figure 3 out how to get cards to everybody this year, so what I've been doing is when I receive a card I'm cutting out everyone's return address and actually taping it to the back of their card so that way I'll have an ability to rebuild 4 that list at some point.
玛丽：对，非常多。我要寄去卡片的人我都列在了一份长名单上，可是十月份的时候我的硬盘坏了，我的圣诞卡名单丢了，所以今年我在找到把卡片寄给每个人的方法上费了一番功夫，而我用的办法就是把我收到的贺卡的寄件人地址都剪下来，然后再把那个地址粘在那些卡片的后面，这样我就能重建我的贺卡名单了。
Adrienne: Wow, that sounds like a big project.
埃德里安娜：哇，听起来是项大工程。
Mary: You know it's really so bad cause I enjoy taking a look at the cards anyhow 5 so it's something do while I'm looking at the cards.
玛丽：你知道，这真的很糟糕，因为我很喜欢随意地翻看卡片，可是这却是我在看卡片的同时要进行的事情。
Adrienne: So when do you usually send your Christmas cards out?
埃德里安娜：那你一般什么时候会寄出圣诞卡片呢？
Mary: Well, I try to send them out in the middle of December but this year they left my house on the 21st, so it was sort 6 of way too close to the send.
玛丽：嗯，我试图在12月中旬寄出贺卡，不过今年我在21号的时候才寄出卡片，所以今年快到圣诞节了我才寄卡片。
Adrienne: Right. Right. Um, what about next year? Will you try to get them out in the middle of December?
埃德里安娜：好。那明年呢？你还会在12月中旬的时候寄出卡片吗？
Mary: I'm definitely 7 going to try cause now that I have everyone's address I'll be able to rebuild that list hopefully before December.
玛丽：我绝对会努力在中旬寄出卡片，因为现在我已经有所有人的地址了，我能在12月前完成重建贺卡名单的工作。
Adrienne: Well, sounds like a good plan. Good luck.
埃德里安娜：嗯，听起来是个好计划。祝你好运。
