地道美语听力播客840: 参加活动时穿着得体

Patricia: Hey, look at you! You’re all decked out. What’s the occasion?
帕特里夏：嘿，看看你，穿的这么光彩照人。你这是要去什么场合？
Renaud: I’m going to the Ortegas’s party. Aren’t you?
雷诺：我要去参加奥尔特加的派对，你不是也要去吗？
Patricia: Yeah, but I’m not getting all dolled up for it. I think the dress is casual.
帕特里夏：是的，但是我不会为此盛装打扮。我觉得随意穿着即可。
Renaud: I heard that it’s going to be an upscale affair and I don’t want to be underdressed.
雷诺：我听说是件挺高档的事情呢，我不想穿得太随意。
Patricia: But I’d rather not be overdressed.
帕特里夏：但我宁愿不要穿得太过了。
Renaud: Okay, then what are you wearing?
雷诺：好吧，那你打算穿什么？
Patricia: I’m going to dress up these jeans with a chic blouse. And then I’m going to accessorize with this necklace as a statement piece.
帕特里夏：我就穿这件牛仔裤搭配一件时髦的衬衫。然后戴上这条项链作为点缀。
Renaud: That’s a nice outfit, but it’s more appropriate for a casual event, not a party.
雷诺：这样搭配很不错，不过是对于非正式的场合来说，要是参加派对就不太合适了。
Patricia: But that’s what I’m trying to tell you. This is not a formal affair.
帕特里夏：这正是我想要对你说的。这并不是什么正式的事儿。
Renaud: Do what you like, but I’m not going to risk being inappropriately dressed for one of the Ortegas’s parties. I don’t want to be blacklisted and not be invited in the future. Their parties are legendary, with the best food, the best booze...
帕特里夏：随你便吧。我可不想冒险在奥尔特加的派对上穿着不当。我不想被列入黑名单，那样以后就都不会被邀请了。他们的派对简直就像传奇一样，有最好的食物、最好的酒饮。。。。。。
Patricia: Oh, you’re right. What was I thinking?!
帕特里夏：嗯，你说得对。我到底在想什么？！
