【太極英語微課堂-16】如何用地道的美語告別
Joe: Shifu, I need to talk to you.
Shifu: What is it?
Joe:  I am afraid I will have to leave and go back to the US at the end of this month.
Shifu: What? How come? Do you not like the life in Chenjiagou?
Joe: Shifu, don’t take me wrong. I like my life in Chenjiagou, and I want to stay here all my life, but I’ve kind of run out of my money now and the most important thing is, my visa is expired at the end of this month.
Shifu: Oh, I am so sorry to hear that, but will you come back again?
Joe: Yes, definitely. I need to find a job when I go back and will try to save some money, then I will come back to go on with my Taichi study.
Shifu: We will miss you, Joe.
Joe: I will miss you and Shimu and my Shixiong too.
Shifu: Ok, let me talk to your Shimu, we need to throw a party for you before you leave.
Joe： Shifu, you don’t need to do that.
Shifu: It will be a fun party, we will have a lot of fun together. Hope you can come back soon, Joe.
Joe: I will come back, Shifu, I promise.
 
Joe：師父，我想跟您說個事！
師父：什麼事啊？
Joe：我這個月底得回美國了。
師父：什麼？怎麼回事？你不喜歡在陳家溝的生活嗎？
Joe：師父，不要誤會我。我喜歡陳家溝的生活，都想一輩子住在這裡了，但是我的錢差不多要用完了，更重要的是，我的簽證這個月底就要到期了。
師父：哦，我挺難受的。那你還回來嗎？
Joe：一定會回來的。我得回去找個工作，攢點錢，然後會回來繼續學習太極。
師父: 我會想你的，Joe。
Joe：我也會想你和師母，還有師兄的。
師父：讓我跟你師母商量一下，你走之前我們得聚一聚。
Joe：師父，沒必要的。
師父：我們開心一下，一起好好玩一玩。希望你會回來，Joe。
Joe：我保證會回來的。
