Innkeeper：Welcome to the Watermill Inn.

Marilyn：Oh, Richard, it's exactly as it was when we were married!

Innkeeper：And when I got married.

Marilyn：Even the old patchwork quilt is the same!

Innkeeper：My great-grandmother made that quilt when Teddy Roosevelt4 was President. In those days, when they made quilts, they cut patches from the old clothing of every member in the family so that each one would be a part of it.

Marilyn：What a lovely tradition!

Richard：And very good-looking, like his mother.

Innkeeper：Well, it's nice to have you with us again. Next time, bring the baby.

Marilyn：You see, Richard? Max is welcome here.

Richard：Not on our anniversary. This vacation9 is for you and me.

Innkeeper：If there's anything you need, please call me. I'll be in the front office all day.

Richard：Now, this is my idea of a good time [He lilts the lids of the dishes on the table.] Let's see…hotcakes and maple syrup, with scrambled eggs.

Marilyn：Umm…smell that coffee…cinnamon and cloves.

Richard：Homemade buttermilk biscuits.

Marilyn：Slices of orange with burnt honey.

Richard：Let's eat!

Marilyn：First I want to call home and check on your mother and the baby.

Richard：Honey, if there were any problems, she would call us.

Marilyn：She doesn't know we've changed hotels.

Richard：You're right. Of course.

Marilyn：[She goes to the telephone.] Hello, operator,I'd like to call Riverdale, New York.

A little later.

Richard：This food is heavenly, isn't it?

Marilyn：This whole place is heavenly. Do you remember that old desk? Mrs. Montefiore told me that George Washington sat at

that desk and wrote to his wife Martha.

Richard：What do you want to do after breakfast?

Marilyn：Why don't we take a walk down to the river?

Richard：In the rain?

Marilyn：No. Look out the window.The sun is shining!

Richard：Now this is my idea of a good time!

美国文化介绍

美国文化介绍

我们在学英语的过程中，无论是老师还是其他朋友经常告诉我们，学习一种语言，不只要学其语言，还要学其文化。现在就了解一下本文中出现的一些美国特色的文化吧！

美国一种相当普遍的民间艺术是缝制百袖被罩，即用很多小布块缝制被罩。做这种被罩的人多为一般老百姓。尽管现在还有人用手工缝制百袖被罩，当做一种传统艺术，但大多数美国人用的被罩都是机器制造的。

Obama says it with flowers on wedding anniversary

White House hopeful Barack Obama brought his motorcade to a halt Friday to dash out and buy a dozen white roses on his 16th wedding anniversary prior to a "romantic dinner" with wife Michelle.

　　Following a campaign rally, the lengthy convoy of police outriders, Secret Service cars, staff vans and press buses

ground to a stop behind Obama's black-tinted SUV outside "Penny's Flowers."

　　The Democrat spent 20 minutes inside, chatting with shop employees, picking out the roses and making a short declaration to accompanying reporters welcoming the adoption in Congress of a financial rescue package.

　　"These are beautiful, I like the arrangement and everything, it looks nice," he told employee Mary Darcy after she handed him the roses arranged with baby's breath and wrapped in cellophane.

　　The 47-year-old presidential candidate planned to present the flowers to his wife ahead of their anniversary meal in Chicago Friday evening.

　　Outside the florists, Obama delighted onlookers waiting behind yellow police tape by stopping to shake hands before getting back in his Chevrolet Suburban.

　　But barely two minutes later, the motorcade had halted again with Obama unable to resist getting out to meet a crowd of young schoolchildren lined up at the roadside, screaming in delight at the candidate's unexpected arrival.

　　In Michigan on Thursday, the Illinois senator told supporters that he had "a gift all picked out" for his wife of 16

years.

　　He said he was looking forward to a "romantic dinner" -- although the attendant Secret Service agents, press pool and inevitable crowd of onlookers might spoil the intimacy.

上周五，美国（民主党）总统候选人巴拉克-奥巴马在忙碌的拉票途中抽出身来，在当地一家花店买了一束白玫瑰。当天正值奥巴马与妻子米歇尔16周年结婚纪念日，奥巴马打算在两人共进“浪漫晚餐”之前给妻子献上这束花。

　　在一场竞选造势活动结束后，奥巴马的黑色SUV率领着警车、特工车、竞选团队车和媒体大巴组成的车队停在“佩妮花屋”门前。

　　奥巴马在店里待了20分钟，他与店员小聊了几句，挑了束玫瑰，并向随行记者发表了一个简短声明，对国会众议院通过金融救助计划表示

欢迎。

　　店员玛丽-达茜将一束点缀着满天星、用玻璃纸包好的白玫瑰交给奥巴马时，他说：“这束花太漂亮了，我喜欢它的设计和包装，看起来真

不错。”

　　这位47岁的总统候选人打算当晚在芝加哥的结婚纪念晚餐前把这束花送给妻子。

　　走出花店后，奥巴马还与等候在黄色警戒线外的围观群众们亲切握手，之后便钻进了他的“雪佛兰巨无霸”。

　　但车队刚走了两分钟，又停了下来。因为奥巴马看到一群小学生排着队站在路边，正为他的意外到来开心地叫喊着，这让他不由地再次下

车与孩子们见面。

　　上周四，这位伊利诺斯州议员在密歇根对支持者们说，他为妻子准备了“一份精心挑选的结婚纪念礼物”。

　　他说，他很期待与妻子共进“浪漫晚餐”——尽管现场会有特工、媒体和围观人群这么多的“灯泡”。（选自中国日报）
