第16課：有禮貌的?- 9

【迷你小對話】

A: You know, Jimmy, at our martial arts school we do not usually accept students as young as you. You are so mannerly though – always holding doors open for teachers, speaking with formal words – that we will take you on as a student.
B: That is very good to hear, Mr. White. Thank you very much for this opportunity to join your fine school. Until next week, goodbye.

A: Jimmy，你知道嗎？我們這樣的武術學校，通常不接受你這么小的學生。因為你彬彬有禮——總是為老師開門，說話很有禮貌，我們才錄取你。
B: 太好了，White老師，謝謝你給我機會進入這么好的學校。下周見。
