暑假在美国

邻里社区忙party

Pool party, block party, sleepover party, barbecue dinner party. Parties in summer among neighbors


L:Hello ,大家好。How is your Summer?

Q: 夏天过得怎么样?彼此问候夏天过得怎么样是美国人的常见客套搭讪的话语。潜台词就是夏天是放假开心不干活的时候。不过,对于Lindsay来说,一个夏天2个多月不见学校里朝夕相处的朋友还是很想念的。

L:It is hard not seeing friends for months. Sometimes I invite my friends over to my house to have a barbeque (烧烤)dinner, a movie, or a sleepover. Occasionally we will meet at a local ice cream store to have a conversation.(谈话)


Q: 叫朋友到家里来一起烧烤barbecue,吃饭,看电影,或者过来住一夜。还可以跟朋友们在镇上的冷饮店相聚吃个冰激凌聊聊天。 Sleepover就是把特别好的朋友请到家里,沙发床气垫床支起来,看看朋友的收藏玩具书籍和平时生活的样子,这才是亲密无间共同长大。

L:Some friends are lucky to have pools in their backyard(后院). Their parents host a pool party for us. We will bring bathing suits(游泳衣), sunscreen(防晒霜), and towel(浴巾). We gather there to have a great time together. Watermelon(西瓜), ice cream, lemonade(柠檬水), hot dogs(热狗), pizza and chips(烤乾的土豆片等)…  those are our favorite food while we have parties like that. Their parents are so nice to host it for us!

Q: 在朋友家的后院泳池里游泳,吃又可口又凉爽的食物,朋友相聚,这真是幸福的暑假,一起成长的好朋友。

L:Neighbors and friends will have block parties sometimes. It is a community tradition(社区传统). We just all come out our houses bringing some food, snacks(零食) or drinks, joining the parties and talking. That’s how we connect(联系). After all, it is summer, we are supposed to stay outside as much as we can.


Q: Block Party就是邻里附近的十几家人找个街区空地或者小公园,一起准备食物饮料,也不拘什么东西,只要别太空手而来,就是有个机会聊天增进了解,毕竟是一条街上住着,平时也许都不过是在汽车里进出,夏天这样热情的季节,大家都褪去平时职业套装的严谨,在吃吃喝喝里讲讲学区社区邻里间感兴趣的话题,轻松中熟络感情,这是大家的社区啊。
