地道美语听力播客716: 策划婚礼（双语）

Seamus: What’s that?
西米斯：那是什么？
Cathy: It’s a planning book for our wedding.
凯丝：这是我们婚礼的策划书。
Seamus: We aren’t getting married for a year and a half.
西米斯：我们还有一年半的时间才会结婚呢。
Cathy: I know, but there are so many things to plan. We have to book the hall far in advance, you know, and once we set the date, we have to send out save-the-date notifications to our friends and family.
凯丝：我知道，但是有很多事需要计划。我们需要很久前预定婚礼大厅，你知道，一旦我们确定时间，我们就得给朋友和家人发出结婚邀请函。
Seamus: I thought that the point of putting off the wedding until we finish school is to take the pressure off and allow us time to plan – later.
西米斯：我认为我们推迟婚礼，直到我们完成学业的原因是这样能够消除我们压力，能够有时间计划婚礼。
Cathy: It is, but it’s never too early to start planning for a wedding. I’m meeting with a wedding coordinator next week to get the ball rolling.
凯丝：是的，但是现在策划我们的婚礼一点也不早。下周我会见一个婚礼筹办人，开始婚礼策划。
Seamus: A wedding coordinator?! We don’t need a wedding coordinator. We can make all of the arrangements ourselves.
西米斯：婚礼筹办人？我们不需要婚礼筹办人。我们可以自己策划所有的安排。
Cathy: You have no idea what goes into pulling off a wedding and reception. There are caterers, photographers and videographers, entertainers, ice sculptors, animal trainers (you know, for the swans and the doves), and...
凯丝：你不知道怎样顺利完成婚礼以及招待客人。他们是酒席承办人、摄像师、录像人员、 表演人员、冰雕刻师、动物训练师（你知道，为了放天鹅和鸽子），还有……  
Seamus: Are you serious?! You’re not planning a wedding. You’re starting a circus!
西米斯：你是认真的？你不是在策划婚礼。你是在开马戏团！
