21. Invitation to Lunch 请吃午饭

            A: Frances, do you know if the cafeteria around the corner's open
            today?
            B: Yes. They were open this morning when I came to work. They
            must've finished remodeling. Why'd you want to know?
            A: Well, I thought that maybe we could go there for lunch today.
            That is. If you haven't promised to go with someone else.
            B: That'd be wonderful, Joe. But I hope you're in a better mood than
            you were this morning.
            A: I'm sorry I was such a grouch. It must've been the weather. When
            it rains I get depressed.
            B: Forget it. I'll see you at twelvethirty.

            Notes
            Remodel 重新装修(一般指商店的门面和内部装修)
            Why'd you-why did you
            In a better mood 情绪好一些
            Grouch 脾气不好的人
            It must've been the weather 大概是天气的缘故

            A：弗朗西斯，你知道街角上的自助餐厅今天开门营业吗？
            B：是的，今天早上我来上班时看到它开着。他们大概已经装修好了。为什么你想知道？
            A：嗯，我想我们今天可以去那儿吃午饭。就是说，如果你没答应别人去的话。
            B：那太好了，乔。不过我希望你现在的情绪比早上要好一些。
            A：很抱歉，我的脾气那么不好。大概是天气的缘故。每当下雨我就很沮丧。
            B：忘掉这事吧。十二点半再见
