时间：2019-02-08 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
This year, our family decided 1 that the more the merrier and invited Adriano and his family to have Christmas dinner with us. We were thrilled when they accepted our invitation.
Lucy: I’m so glad you guys could all make it.
Adriano: We wouldn’t have missed it for anything. We brought a fruitcake.
Lucy: Oh, thanks. Make yourselves comfortable. We’re just about to sit down to dinner.
Adriano: Wow, it looks like you’ve prepared a feast.
Lucy: Yeah, we did go a little overboard this year. We’ve got a turkey, a roast and a ham, and all the trimmings: stuffing, yams, mashed 2 potatoes, and cranberry 3 sauce. Help yourself to some eggnog.
Adriano: Thanks. Did you do all of the cooking yourself?
Lucy: I had some help and everybody brought different desserts. Save room for the pumpkin 4 pie, the gingerbread house, and the Christmas cookies. Okay everybody, dinner’s ready. Adriano, would you carve the bird?
Adriano: I’d be happy to do the honors.
