Daniel: Grandpa, this seat is for you, for you are the eldest person here and also it's your birthday today.

Grandpa: Oh, you are such a good child today. Come here. Sit next to me.

Daniel: I'm afraid I can't do that. It's Dad's seat, according to the book about table manners.

Grandpa: Oh, you read? Very good. Then, I think we should do something different today. I'll give you some privilege.

Daniel: Great. That's my favorite seat which will be the nearest to the birthday cake.

Grandpa: Now I see what you read the book for. But it's fine. I'll give you the lion's share.

Daniel: Why do they serve up the noodles first? I don't like it. Where is the cake?

Grandpa: This is not common noodles. They're “l(fā)ong-lived” noodles on birthday.

Daniel: I see. Then I'll try it.

(After a few minutes, Daniel finishes his noodles.)

Daniel: Here is my gift for you, Grandpa. Open it.

Grandpa: Oh, a picture with the birthday cake on it. It's the best gift I've got.

Daniel: And I'd like to propose a toast to you, wishing you a happy and healthy life.

Grandpa: Thank you, my good boy. Oh, here comes the birthday cake. What share do you want?

Daniel: I'm too full to eat any more cake. I shouldn't have eaten so many noodles.

Grandpa: Don't worry about that. We'll save your piece, and you can take it home when dinner is over.

Daniel: Great. Grandpa, the Spring Festival is near. Will you please stay with us? We've been missing you so much!

Grandpa: No problem. What's more, I've prepared “gift money” for you.

聽看學(xué)

丹尼爾: 爺爺，這個(gè)位置是給您的，因?yàn)槟沁@里的長(zhǎng)輩而且今天是您的生日。

爺爺: 哦，你今天可真是個(gè)乖孩子啊。過來這里，坐我旁邊吧。

丹尼爾: 我覺得我不能那么做。根據(jù)餐桌禮儀的書，這應(yīng)該是爸爸的位置。

爺爺: 哦，你讀書了？真不錯(cuò)。這樣的話，我想我們今天就做點(diǎn)改變吧。我要給你這個(gè)特權(quán)。

丹尼爾: 太好了。這是我最喜歡的位置，因?yàn)樗x生日蛋糕最近。

爺爺: 現(xiàn)在我知道你為什么讀那本書了。不過沒問題。我會(huì)給你最大的一塊蛋糕。

丹尼爾: 為什么他們先上面條??？我不喜歡。蛋糕在哪里呢？

爺爺: 這可不是普通的面條??？我不喜歡。蛋糕在哪里呢？

丹尼爾: 這可不是普通的面條啊。是長(zhǎng)壽面。生日吃長(zhǎng)壽面可是中國(guó)的古老傳統(tǒng)哦。

丹尼爾: 我知道了。那我也要嘗一下。

（幾分鐘后，丹尼爾吃完了他的面條。）

丹尼爾: 這是我給您準(zhǔn)備的禮物，爺爺?？齑蜷_。

爺爺: 哦，是一幅畫了生日蛋糕的圖畫。它是我收到過的最好的禮物。

丹尼爾: 還有我要向您祝壽，祝您有快樂健康的生活。

爺爺: 謝謝，我的好孩子。哦，生日蛋糕來了。你要哪一塊??？

丹尼爾: 我太飽，吃不下蛋糕了。我剛才不該吃那么多面條的。

爺爺: 不用擔(dān)心這個(gè)。我們把你那份留著，等吃完飯你可以把它帶回家。

丹尼爾: 太好了。爺爺，春節(jié)快到了。您可以留下來和我們一起住嗎？我們一直都特別想您。
