2、 often than not, I find it very enjoyable having people over, and dont see it as being inconvenient at all.Overstay their welcome = 逗留过久而惹人生厌More often than not = 多半Having people over = inviting people to my home3. Are there any differences between the way children visit their friends and the way ad

3、ults visit their friends?Yeah, I suppose there are. I mean, when children visit their friends, they tend to play games together rather than talk about stuff, which is what adults normally do. For example, when I think back to when I was a child, I would always be playing a game of some sort whenever

4、 I visited a friend, but now when Im visiting friends, we normally just have a few drinks together and chat about stuff. So yeah, Id say this is probably the main difference.when I think back to = 当我回想起So yeah = 所以嗯 （often used in spoken English at the beginning of the end sentence）Id say = I think

5、= I would say 4. In China, when people visit each other, what questions do they ask each other? Well I guess the usual questions are things like, “hows it going”, “what are you up to these days?” um, “Hows everything going with your work?” So you know, Id say its actually pretty much the same as in

6、other countries.hows it going = how are you doing = how are youwhat are you up to = what are you doing? （e.g. what are you up to this weekend = what are you doing this weekend?Pretty much = more or less （差不多）5. Should the guest offer help to the host?Well, I wouldnt say its necessary, and the host c

7、ertainly wouldnt expect it, but I think if a guest did offer help, then it would be a nice gesture.

Is the way people visit other people in China today different to t

8、he way people used to visit each other in the past?Thats an interesting question, and Im not actually that sure, because I didnt really pay that much attention to it when I was younger. But I suppose in the past, people didnt really use to bother with taking gifts and things when they went to see th

9、eir friends, whereas if you went empty-handed to visit someones house now, it wouldnt leave a good impression, and your host would probably label you as being stingy!Bother = 费心 （often we use it in the negative, for example: “most people dont bother to exercise every day”） it can also mean “懒得做某件事 c

10、ant be bothered to do something”, for example, “I usually cant be bothered to cook in the evenings”）Empty-handed = 空手Stingy = 小气Label you as being = 被起了个的绰号7. How do you think the way people visit each other will change in the future?Let me have a little thinkumactually I cant really see it being th

11、at much different to how it is now. But I think what could happen in the future is that people will visit friends in places like cafes and restaurants instead of actually going to their homes, the reason being that its less effort for the host that way!I cant really see it being that much different

12、to how it is now = 我觉得跟现在不会有太大差别8. If a friend was visiting you at home, how would you make them feel comfortable?Well, thinking about it, I would firstly put some background music on, so that there were no awkward silences, if you know what I mean! And I would also make sure that the temperature wa

13、s just right, so for that I would most likely turn on the air-conditioning. Oh and finally, I would let them help themselves to whatever food or drink they wanted, which I think would make them feel at home.awkward silence = 尴尬的沉默make sure = 确保9. How do people entertain guests at home?They entertain

14、 them in a number of ways, of which the most common would be preparing a nice meal for them. And by that I mean a lot of food and drink would be prepared, as its the case here in China to prepare more than is really needed. You know, its the sign of a good host!by that I mean = 我的意思是说as = becauseits

15、 the case here in China to = 这里的情况是 What do you think are the good points and the not-so-good points about eating a picnic lunch?Well, looking at the good points, Id say that firstly, its a very pleasant feeling sitting outside to eat, because you can enjoy the fresh air and sunny weather while your

16、e eating, assuming its a nice day of course! And it also makes a nice change from sitting inside to eat, which we do most of the time.So those would be some of the good things about it, and as for the downsides, well I guess if youre unlucky, you might get mosquitos（蚊子） or things flying around you,

17、which could get quite irritating （厌烦）, especially if you got bitten by one. And as well as this, I suppose another not-so-good thing about them is that its a bit of an effort carrying all your food and drink to the picnic site.But on the whole Id say the good points definitely outweigh the bad point

18、s!assuming = 假定its a bit of an effort = 有点麻烦the good points （definitely） outweigh the bad points = 优点大于缺点 On what occasions （or, in what circumstances） do people choose to eat outdoors and on what occasions do people choose to eat in a restaurant?Well Ive never really thought about it before, but my

19、 feeling would probably be that people generally eat outdoors on informal （非正式的） occasions, for example when theyre with friends or family, whereas（而） I think its fair to say that for more formal occasions, like business dinners and banquets, people tend to choose restaurants to eat at, probably bec

20、ause its relatively easier to organize.So thats one thing, and I think its also true that a lot of people like to go for picnics when they have a whole day free, because having a picnic generally takes a lot longer than having a meal at home or in a restaurant.I think its fair to say that = 我觉得可以说 W

21、hat are some differences between eating in an open-air environment and eating indoors?Well obviously one of the differences would be that if youre eating outside, youre gonna be affected by the weather, whereas if youre indoors, then it really doesnt matter what the weathers like, because it wont ha

22、ve any affect on your meal. So thats one thing, and from a more personal point of view, I find that eating outside is generally more relaxing than eating inside, which is because I think being outside has a kind of calming effect on us, if you know what I mean!has a calming effect = 有镇静效果 Do Chinese

23、 people often have picnics?Well its hard to generalize, of course, but on the whole （总的来说）, I wouldnt say they do, at least not here in Hangzhou anyway, because it seems to me that most people either eat at home or at a restaurant, simply as its much less effort than preparing a picnic. And I mean,

24、if I think of the people I know, they probably only have a picnic about two or three times a year, if that!its hard to generalize, of course = 有点难概括 （当然）at least not here in Hangzhou anyway = 至少不在这里（杭州）two or three times a year, if that! =，顶多量、三次 If you were going to have a picnic, what sort of plac

25、e would you choose to go to?Well first of all, Id want to go to a place which was well away from traffic, because that way it would be more peaceful, and you wouldnt get horrible exhaust fumes blowing around you. And as well as this, I would also choose a place with lots of greenery, for example sit

26、ting on a nice lawn surrounded by trees and flowers, because I mean, thats what having a picnics all about, isnt it.a place which was well away from = 离远一点that way it would be more peaceful = 这样就会平静一点thats what having a picnics all about, isnt it = 野餐不就应该这样子，对不对！Sit in the shade= 坐在阴凉处 When people a

27、re going to have a picnic, what preparations do they usually do?Well Id say the first thing people do is go to the supermarket to get all the food, and also things like disposable （一次性的） cups and plates, which they can just throw after theyve finished using them. So thats probably the main thing, an

28、d depending on how big the picnic is going to be, some people might decide to cook a few dishes to take on the picnic. What else?还有什么？ Um., oh yeah, and one other thing people might need to do if theyre going to a popular picnic area is to make a booking a few days in advance, because some places ca

29、n get pretty crowded. What do you think happiness is?Well, in simple terms, I guess Id say its a feeling that we get when were content with something, for example when were doing something we enjoy.in simple terms 简单地说 （used especially when explaining something） What are some things that make you happy?Let me have a little thinkum well, first of all, what always makes me happy is seeing my friends and family happy, which I suppose is probably the same for everyone. And as well as that, Id say just doing the things I enjoy always puts me in a happy mood, you
