   M: Are you free next thursday?


  F: Yeah, why, is there something going on Thursday?
  M: A bunch of us in the office are planning a retiring party for Bob, he's been with the
  office for ages, so everyone was really suprised to hear he took early retirement 1.
  F: Bob is retiring, wow...that's news to me, I had no idea Bob was that old, retirement's
  still sixty-five, right?
  M: Retirement age is still five, but I think more and more people are retiring earlier, I
  think Bob's in upper fifties already, he just looks pretty young.
  F: Wow...I thought he was early forty stops, why would he want to retire so soon?
  M: Well, I think you prepare it well and capture good savings 2, retiring early can give you
  a lot more time for travel and other activities, you should get out and enjoy the life you
  still can't, don't you think?
  F: I guess if you have a Heathy Fore 3 One Key Plan, why not retire a few years early,so what
  plans does Bob have for his new life after retirement, he's been bringing his traveling
  brochures to the office and talking about all these exhouted places like Fiji and Hawaii, I
  have a hunch 4 he'll take a second honey moon with his wife to some sunny paradise 5.
  下周四你有空吗?
  有空啊.周四有什么事情吗?
  我们办公室的这些人计划为鲍勃开个退休晚会. 他在公司干了那么多年,所以大家听说他提前退休真的很
  吃惊.
  鲍勃要退休吗? 哇,这可是个新闻...我根本不知道他有那么大年纪.还是65岁退休,对吧?
  退休年龄还是65岁,但我认为越来越多的人提前退休.我想鲍勃已经超过55岁了,他只是看着年轻.
  哇,我一直以为他最多40出头.他为什么那么早退休?
  唉,我想如果你已经做好准备而且有一小笔的存款,提前退休可以使你有更充裕的时间去旅行或者干其他
  事情.你应该在自己精力还旺盛的时候就去退休享受生活,你不觉得吗?
  我想如果你加入了健康401K计划的话,那为什么不提早几年退休呢?那鲍勃对他退休后的新生活有什么打
  算?
  他把他的旅游手册带到了办公室,还谈到了所有那些异国情调的地方,如斐济和夏威夷...我有个预感他要
  和他妻子去一些阳光明媚的人间乐园去度第二次蜜月.
