P: I was just thinking: maybe I should check if the hotels allow smoking in the rooms or not. I'll send an email to ask if any of the group are smokers.
J: Good thinking. OK, I got to run. Keep me posted on the restaurant issue.
S: We were thinking of a pen set made of jade with a gold trim. The set is embossed with the name of the seminar and each participant's name.
P: Absolutely.
S: Wow, Pete. We really dodged a bullet there!
P: Well, as the old saying goes, "You live and you learn."
Pete突然想到,客人里可能有人抽烟,所以要问问旅店是否答应吸烟。Janet临走时说I got to run. 我得赶快走了。她还说,Keep me posted.有消息随时告诉我。
Janet走后,Silvia说,We really dodged a bullet. 躲过了一个枪子儿,意思是真悬,差点出错!Pete的回答是 "You live and you learn." 活到老学到老。
