        Larry到小燕工作的“金龙”餐馆去找她，发现餐馆里很忙。今天我们要学两个常用语，一个是jumping（一个地方客人多，生意繁忙）, 一个是joint（指餐馆、酒吧、夜总会和俱乐部等消遣的地方）.
       
  
        只需要听写文中出现的【男生说的】英文部分，中文对话部分（包括里面个别的英语词组）不需要听写！！

Hi, Xiao yan. I was in the neighborhood and I wanted to stop by and say "Hi." -- Wow. This place is jumping!
So, Xiao yan, you obviously know that when a person says a place is "jumping" - they mean it's very busy.
Say, Xiao yan, I'd like to stay and chat with you, but I know you have a lot of work to do. Is there a time when the restaurant isn't jumping?
But surely there are times when "The Golden Dragon" is not as jumping as it's tonight.
Okay, I will. See you later, Xiao yan.
Are you sure she doesn't mind working for you when the place is jumping, Xiao yan?
That's nice of you, Xiao yan. You know, I was hoping to have dinner here at "The Golden Dragon", but I didn't expect that it would be jumping like this. How long is the wait for a table, anyway?
30 minutes to an hour? That's too long. Is there anyplace nearby I can have dinner that isn't jumping?(Sound of a busy restaurant)
LL: Hi, Xiao yan. I was in the neighborhood and I wanted to stop by and say "Hi." -- Wow. This place is jumping!
XY: 没错，真是忙死我了，今天是星期五，每到星期五和星期六晚上，这是餐馆最忙的时候。
LL: So, Xiao yan, you obviously know that when a person says a place is "jumping" - they mean it’s very busy.
XY: 这我还能不知道，别忘了，我可是餐馆的领班。我早就知道，说什么地方jumping就是客人特别多，生意特别好的意思。
LL: Say, Xiao yan, I'd like to stay and chat with you, but I know you have a lot of work to do. Is there a time when the restaurant isn't jumping?
XY: 你也知道，金龙是中国城生意最好的餐馆，从来就没有闲的时候。
LL: But surely there are times when "The Golden Dragon" is not as jumping as it’s tonight.
XY: 相对来说，星期二晚上客人少一些，你要来吃饭，最好是星期二来。
LL: Okay, I will. See you later, Xiao yan.
XY: 哎，别急着走啊！虽然客人多，但我还是可以休息一小会儿。你等等啊，我跟同事交代一下。(用中文跟另外一位带位小姐交代，对方用中文回答说，没问题。)
LL: Are you sure she doesn't mind working for you when the place is jumping, Xiao yan?
XY: 没关系，就几分钟的时间，我怎么说也不能让你白跑一趟啊！
LL: That's nice of you, Xiao yan. You know, I was hoping to have dinner here at "The Golden Dragon", but I didn't expect that it would be jumping like this. How long is the wait for a table, anyway?
XY: 现在来，差不多要等半个小时，再过一会儿，可能就要等上一个小时才有空位了。
LL: 30 minutes to an hour? That's too long. Is there anyplace nearby I can have dinner that isn't jumping?
XY: 我听说街对面那家德国饭馆挺不错的，而且随时有空位，要不然你去那边试试看？
