【美语情景对话,第248期:Family,Wedding,家庭婚礼】美语情景对话
Todd: So Travis, you said your brother is getting married.
托德：特拉维斯，你说过你哥哥要结婚了。
Travis: Well, actually not my brother, my cousin is getting married. On my family"s side of the family, on my father"s side of the family, I have quite a few cousins and quite a few uncles and aunts. My dad is one of eight children, so we"ve always been very close and basically we"ve been a nuclear family around my grandparents of my dad"s side, so my cousin, Brian, is going to be getting married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and I think that wedding is taking place about August 9th.
特拉维斯：嗯，实际上不是我亲哥哥，是我堂哥要结婚了。在我父亲这边的家族，我有许多堂哥，还有许多叔叔和阿姨。我爸爸有七个兄弟姐妹，我们关系很亲密，基本上来说，在我爸爸的家族这边，我们和祖父母组成了核心家庭，我的堂哥布莱恩将在墨西哥瓦亚塔港举行婚礼，我想时间大概是8月9日左右。
Todd: Oh, wow.
托德：哦，哇！
Travis: So we are all going to be going out there as a family. Hopefully we"ll have as many as maybe forty of us, and whoever the bride invites , and we"ll be on the beach for about 3 or 4 days, and have a wedding of Saturday, so it should be pretty exciting.
特拉维斯：我们一家人都会过去。大概我们会有40个人吧，还有新娘邀请的宾客，我们要在海滩待三到四天的时间，婚礼在周六举行，这很令人兴奋。
Todd: Mexico, that"s an interesting choice. I mean, that"s pretty far away.
托德：墨西哥，这是个有趣的选择。我的意思是，那太远了。
Travis: It is pretty far away so it should be kind of expensive for all the guests to get there, which might be planned on my cousin"s side because he might be trying to limit the amount of people who come to his wedding, so it won"t get to overly large, and Mexico is actually cheaper to have a wedding than the United States because the power of the dollar versus the power of the peso, is you know, quite strong, so you can go down to Mexico and for maybe a third the price have the same lavish wedding you might have in the United States, though Puerto Vallarta might be a little more expensive than a normal Mexican wedding because Puerto Viarta is sort of a tourist and resort community.
特拉维斯：是很远，所以请所有宾客前往那里的花费也很高昂，这可能由我堂哥这边来安排，因为他可能会试图限制来参加婚礼的宾客的数量，所以婚礼不会太隆重，实际上在墨西哥举行婚礼要比在美国举行婚礼便宜，因为你知道，相比于比索的购买力
