The volunteers group also organises monthly social events, which is a great way to meet other people, of course.

志愿者小组每月也会组织社交活动，当然，这是结识其他人的好方法vBS-dZdv-q。

Uhuh.

啊哈^Z=%n=*5ert|j#XzOZ。

So next month, on the 19th of October, we're holding a quiz–a couple of residents are great at planning unusual ones, and we always fill the village hall.

因此，下个月，即10月19日，我们将举行一个问答比赛Pb9n6l4iR;IA@ovML。一些居民很擅长策划不同寻常的问答比赛，到时村里大厅会挤满人AQF@.C2#fBy-9。

That sounds like fun. Can I do anything to help?

听起来很有趣7grbCuu0s+。我能帮上什么忙吗？

Well, because of the number of people, we need plenty of refreshments for halfway through.

嗯，因为人多，我们比赛中途需要很多茶点bh|Y#nez#|zl,iBA。

So, if you could provide any, we'd be grateful.

所以，如果你能提供任何一些帮助，我们将不胜感激wIUCZ2Nhv,rX_])0*。

I'm sure I could. I'll think about what to make, and let you know.

我相信我能做到+b!t-Y@gW1RdR4Vr。我要考虑做什么，然后告诉你At0SY8.C.]r0Z-4。

Thank you. Then on November the 18th, we're holding a dance, also in the village hall.

谢谢Ww^Ae2dfTq*W3fhDIrb。之后在11月18日，我们也会在村里的大厅举行一场舞会ybZy48I@3LTY;。

We've booked a band that specialises in music of the 1930s–they've been before, and we've had a lot of requests to bring them back.

我们已经预订了一个专门演奏20世纪30年代音乐的乐队，他们以前也来过，我们收到了很多村民的请求，他们希望这只乐队再来演奏fbHsrgTe+Vtbe]C。

I'm not really a dancer, but I'd like to do something to help.

我不擅长跳舞，但我想帮点忙e[B+pE2*n4y|!。

Well, we sell tickets in advance, and having an extra person to check them at the door, as people arrive, would be good–it can be quite a bottleneck if everyone arrives at once!

嗯，我们提前售票，当人们到达时，最好有一个人在门口检票C|H1p(g,3aUwl)。如果人们同时到达，这可能是一个相当大的难题！

OK, I'm happy with that.

好的，我很高兴能帮上忙XfCNRv+bw~zAf。

We're also arranging a New Year's Eve party.

我们还在筹划一个新年晚会hL(e9(D;6C1fdw。

We're expecting that to be a really big event, so instead of the village hall, it'll be held in the Mountfort Hotel.

我们预计这将会是一场盛大的活动，所以它将在蒙特福特酒店举行，而不是在村里的大厅举行3Udic!)HU2-BAu。

The…?

什么酒店？

Mountfort. M-O-U-N-T-F-O-R-T Hotel. It isn't in Southoe itself, but it's only a couple of miles away.

蒙特福特酒店&MhU~qJknOXn#[Uk+。拼写是M-O-U-N-T-F-O-R-TxbGf25[3.rDu,p。它不位于索索，但只有几英里远g1XGJ,%dV9;M@hGcPSS^。

The hotel will be providing dinner and we've booked a band. The one thing we haven't got yet is a poster.

酒店将提供晚餐，我们已经预订了乐队XVWW3f72F3hF~Y5YJ。唯独缺一张海报ARg4AyKM5il)。

That isn't something you could do, by any chance, is it?

这不是你能做的事，不是吗？

Well actually, yes. Before I retired I was a graphic designer, so that's right up my street.

事实上，我能做,KPUN^!Oq%&&KL]pa0~@。退休前，我是一名平面设计师，所以这正和我对口#iYt^#M7SF6ia。

Oh perfect! I'll give you the details, and then perhaps you could send me a draft…

哦，太好了！我会告诉你细节，然后也许你可以寄给我一份草稿……

Of course.

当然&=HAmrn9](1h.0;@A!。
