Brooke:
Hey, Dan. You’ve been sitting in front of the computer for hours. What gives?
Dan: I was trying to keep it a surprise, but I’m at my wit’s end. Can you help me out here?
Brooke: Sure. But I’m no computer geek.
Dan: Yeah, but you work in 1) publishing. You probably know how to use photo editing 2) software, right?
Brooke: I do know a little. What are you trying to do? Make me a gift?
Dan: It’s a gift, but it’s for Sarah.
Brooke: Oh, that’s so sweet! My brother’s a hopeless romantic!
布鲁克∶ 嘿,丹。你坐在电脑前好几个小时了。怎麽啦?
丹∶ 我原本要保密让它变成一个惊喜的,但我已经束手无策了。奶能帮个忙吗?
布鲁克∶ 好啊,但我可不是什麽电脑通。
丹∶ 对啦,但奶在出版业工作。奶应该会用照片编辑软体,对吧?
布鲁克∶ 确实略知一二。你想要弄什麽?做礼物给我?
丹∶ 是礼物,但是要给莎拉的。
布鲁克∶ 噢,好贴心!我弟是个无可救药的浪漫派!
