John:Only two weeks unfortunately. I wish I could stay longer but...
(很不巧,我就待两个星期。我想多待一段时间,但是...)
Daphne:Well, listen, if you need someone to show you the sights then just call me. I'm having a little get together at my new apartment next week, so if you want to drop by then...
(这样,如果你想找人带你到处转转就打我电话,下周我在新的公寓有个小聚会,如果你想顺便过来的话...)
John:Thanks. Great. I'd love to! Let me take down your number, Daphne.
(好啊,我很愿意来我记一下你的电话号码吧。)
