A：Ok, so who are we going to invite to our dinner party?

好了，那么我们打算邀请谁来参加我们的宴会?

A：Don't forget my friend Andy from the office. He has nothing to do on Friday, so I invited him over.

不要忘了我办公室的朋友安迪。星期五他无事可做，所以我邀请了他过来。

B：But that makes thirteen people! We can't have thirteen people for dinner on Friday!

但是那样就有13个人!星期五我们不能有13个人吃饭!

A：Why can't we?

B：It's an old superstition. If we have thirteen people at the table, then it means bad luck. Can Andy bring a date?

这是个老迷信。如果我们在饭桌上有13个人，那就意味着运气不好。安迪能带他女朋友来吗?

A：I'm not sure. He just broke up with his girlfriend recently, and I don't think he's in the mood to start again so soon.

我不知道。他最近才和他女朋友分手，我想他没有心情这么快又找一个。

A：I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. It's only a superstition. It really doesn't mean anything.

我想你是在把问题弄大。这只是个迷信，没有任何实际意义。

B：Absolutely not! I refuse to have thirteen people for dinner on Friday!

绝对不是!我拒绝星期五13个人吃饭!

A：Ok, ok. I'll ask my sister to come. That way we'll have fourteen for dinner.

好，好。我要我妹妹也来。那样我们就有14人吃饭。

B：That's better.

那还差不多。
