May: What's all the security check about, Jimmy? Does it mean the bar may be a dangerous place?
Jimmy: No, of course not. Just in case. Nothing to worry about. Don't you also do this in China?
May: I don't know. Maybe the same. Actually, this is my first time being in a bar.
Jimmy: Oh, then it's my honor to be here with you. I can see now why you've been so curious about the bar stuff. You like this place?
May: Sure. I love this place, especially the decoration. So tasteful!
Jimmy: Yeah. Other than that, the real feature are the excellent drinks. Can I have your ticket?
May: Here it is. But, what for? We're already in.
Jimmy: Well, with the ticket, you can get a free drink. What would you like? Orange juice?
May: Yes, orange juice will be fine for me. But how can you get the drink? It's so crowded there around the counter. You can barely move.
Jimmy: I'll show you how. The bar tenders know whose turn it is. And also, I can snap my fingers to catch his attention.
May: Cool. Thanks.
(Jimmy brings May a glass of orange juice.)
May: Oh, fresh juice, I love it. Well, I heard American people love hanging out in bars. Is that true?
Jimmy: Not everyone. But a lot of people do, especially the young. It's a fun place to spend an evening with friends or to make some new friends.
May: Interesting. Hey, look over there. The dance floor is already packed with people. Oh, the girl in red dances great.
Jimmy: Yeah, a dancing queen. Wanna go and join them?
May: Maybe later. I wanna take some photos first.
Jimmy: Sure. Let me help you to hold the drink.
May: Thank you.

阿美: 吉米，这些安全检查是关于什么的啊?这是不是意味着酒吧可能是一个危险的地方啊?
吉米: 不，当然不是。只是以防万一。没有什么好担心的。在中国不这样做吗?
阿美: 我不知道。可能也一样吧。实际上，这是我第一次来酒吧。
吉米: 哦，那么我很荣幸能陪你来这儿了。现在我明白你为什么对酒吧那么好奇了。你喜欢这个地方吗?
阿美: 当然，我很喜欢这个地方，尤其是它的布置,很风雅。
吉米: 是啊。除了那个，它真正的特点在于酒水特别棒。可以把你的门票给我吗?
阿美: 给你。可是，干什么用啊?我们都已经进来了啊。
吉米: 用这票，你可以得到一杯免费的饮料。你想要什么?橙汁吗?
阿美: 好的，我喝橙汁就行。可是你怎么能买到饮料呢?吧台那边太挤了，动都动不了。
吉米: 我告诉你。酒吧服务员知道该轮到谁了，而且，我可以打响指来吸引他的注意。
阿美: 好酷。多谢。
(吉米给阿美拿来了一杯橙汁。)
阿美: 哦，鲜榨的橙汁，我喜欢。对了，我听说美国人都很喜欢逛酒吧。是真的吗?
吉米: 不是每个人，但是很多人都喜欢，尤其是年轻人。这是一个朋友聚会和认识新朋友的好地方。
阿美: 有意思。嗨，看那边。舞池里已经挤满了人了。哦，那个穿红色衣服的女孩跳得真棒。
吉米: 是啊，好一个“跳舞皇后”。想过去和他们一起跳吗?
阿美: 再等一会儿吧。我想先拍一些照片。
吉米: 没问题。让我帮你端饮料吧。
阿美: 谢谢。
