Hey, John. Can I talk to you for a minute?
嗨,约翰。我能和你谈一下吗?
Sure, what’s up?

I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a few months ago. I know you do a lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.
我想告诉你,几个月前我加入了一个读书俱乐部。我知道你经常看书,所以我觉得你下个月可能会想跟我一起去。

Usually the last Saturday of the month at 7:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?
