Victor:Hello! 大家好,我們是戴爾老師Victor。

Nancy:Nancy.

Victor:Nancy,今天我們來討論一下有關(guān)親戚的話題。

Nancy:I'm visiting relatives this weekend.

Victor:這個(gè)周末我要去看看我的親戚。

Nancy:Relatives means family members. But not really close family, not your mother, father, sister or brother.

Victor:啊,聽了Nancy的話,我真是醍醐灌頂。原來relative是親戚的意思,可不包括你的爸爸、媽媽、兄弟、姐妹,所有的直系親屬叫family member。

Nancy:But this would be your grandparents, your aunts, your uncles or your cousins.

Victor:大家要注意這里Nancy用的介詞visit on your cousins,cousin就表示你的表兄妹或兄弟。

Nancy:So, I'm visiting relatives this weekend.

Victor:I'm visiting relatives this weekend.

Nancy:That's all for today.

Victor:Bye-bye!

Nancy:Bye-bye!?
