下个月想去哪儿玩儿吗？我可以和公司请几天假。

Melanie: Oh, I would love to but what's the occasion?

Coco: Nothing. Life's been pretty busy recently, and you helped me take care of the kids. I think it's time for all of us to relax a bit.

没有。最近生活非常忙，而且你帮我照顾孩子。我觉得是时候我们所有人去放松一下。

真贴心！我想去佛罗里达州，然后就在沙滩上躺着。只要我们不去郊游/爬山，我都可以。

Coco: That's a great idea! I only did a relay at the Miami International Airport but never had the chance to visit. I think the kids would love it too. They get to play with sand and walk around in slippers.

好主意！我只在迈阿密国际机场转机过，但从没机会去玩儿。我觉得孩子们也会想去的。他们可以玩沙子，并穿着拖鞋到处逛。

Melanie: How many days do you have left for the year? If we can stay for longer, we can explore more.

你今年还剩几天的年假？如果我们可以待久一些，就可以多探索一些。

Coco: I haven't used any vacation days this year, so we have plenty of time. I'd say a week in Miami would be enough.

我还没用今年的年假所以我们时间充足。我觉得在迈阿密待一周应该够了。
