G: This is a very nice place. You are such a lucky dog!

H: Glad you like it. Come on in! Can I take your coat?

G: Sure, thanks. Should I take my shoes off?

H: Whatever you prefer. Make yourself at home!

G: Thanks! And meet my date Sherlock Homes!

H: Sherlock as always.

到主人家做客，见面时会有一些寒暄。既然是参加“暖房派对”，可以简单就新房子说几句溢美之词。要注意lucky dog要翻译成“幸运儿”，而不是“幸运狗”。Make yourself at home是主人常说的话，意在让客人不要拘束，像在自己家里一样。Date在此指陪自己参加派对的人，多是男（女）朋友。
