纯正地道美语 第152期(外教讲解):我有些想家了  

Tom: I don’t know. I didn’t really feel like going out. I guess I’m feeling a little homesick.,Sarah: Come on. We’ve been through this already! Look, I know the adjustment was hard when you first got here, but we agreed that you were gonna try and deal with it.,Tom: I was. It’s just that the holidays are ing up and I won’t be able to home because I can’t afford the airfare. I’m just longing for some of the forts of home, like my mom’s cooking and being around my family.,Sarah: Yeah, it can get pretty lonely over the holidays. When I first got here, I’d get depressed and nostalgic for anything that reminded me of home. I almost let it get to me, but then I started going out, keeping myself busy and before I knew it, I was used to to it.,Tom: I see what you mean, but I ’m still bummed out.,Sarah: OK. how does this sound: let’s get you suited up and hit the dance club tonight. I hear that an awesome DJ is playing and there will be a lot of pretty single girls there!,Tom: You know, I could really go for that. You don’t mind being my wingman for tonight?,Sarah: Not at all! It be fun! It will be like a boys’ night out... well kinda...,Tom: Great! I must warn you though, whatever happens, don’t let me go on a drinking binge. Trust me, it’s not a pretty picture!
