M: I bet you're looking forward to the end of this month, are you?
男：我打赌你期待着这个月底的到来，对吧?
W: Yes, I am. How did you know?
女：是的，我很期待。你是怎么知道的?
M: David told me you had a special birthday coming up.
男：David告诉我你特殊的生日就要到了。
W: Oh, yes. That's right. This year would be my golden birthday.
女：是的，对。今年我将迎来我的金色生日。
M: What does that mean? I've never heard of a golden birthday.
男：那是什么意思？我从没有听说过金色生日。
W: I've actually just learnt this concept myself. Fortunately, just in time to celebrate. A golden or lucky birthday is when one turns the age of their birth date. So, for example, my sister's birthday is December 9th and her golden birthday would have been the year she turns 9 years old. Come to think of it, my parents did throw her a surprise party that year.
女：我也是刚刚知道这么一个说法的。幸运的是，赶上庆祝了。金色生日或者幸运生日是指一个人的年龄与出生日期相同的那年生日。比如说，我姐姐的生日是12月9日，那么她的金色生日就是9岁那年的生日。细想一下，我父母确实在那一年为她准备了一个惊喜派对。
M: Interesting. Too bad I missed mine. My golden birthday would've been four years ago. I assume you got big plans then.
男：有意思。很遗憾我错过自己的金色生日了。我的金色生日应该是在4年前。我想你们一定好好筹划了一番。
W: Actually yes. My husband is planning a surprise holiday for the two of us next week. I have no idea what he's got in mind, but I'm excited to find out. Has he mentioned anything to you?
女：确实是这样。我先生正在准备下周的惊喜假期。我还不知道他是怎样安排的，但是我很期待知晓。他有向你提到过这些计划吗？
M: He might have.
男：他可能提到过吧。
W: Anything you'd like to share? I'm dying to know what kind of trip he has planned on where we're going.
女：你可以向我透露一些吗？我很想知道他安排我们去那里玩，怎么玩。
M: You know nothing at all?
男：你一点也不知道吗？
W: Not a clue. Hard to imagine, isn't it! Though I must say, I think he's been even more fun keeping the secret from me in the past few weeks.
女：没有线索。很难想象，不是吗？不过我必须说，这样瞒着我，过去几周他肯定偷着乐呢。
M: I'm sure both of you will have a fantastic time. Happy golden birthday! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.
男：我相信你们俩会玩得很开心的。金色生日快乐! 我已经等不及听你回来后分享旅程了。
