　　May: That's interesting. But it would be really expensive, I suppose. Just think about all the drinks.

　　Jimmy: No. If it's your birthday, then you don't need to pay a cent. Just blow out the candles and open the gifts. That makes the birthday a special day. Your friends will take care of everything.

　　May: Wow. That's wonderful.

　　阿美: 看!有人在庆祝生日。

　　吉米: 这一定是他21岁的生日。毫无疑难。

　　阿美: 为什么?你意识那个人吗?

英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　吉米: 不意识。不过，在美国，你要到21岁才干够喝酒。所以，有很多男孩子来酒吧庆祝他们21岁的生日。

　　阿美: 挺有趣的。不过我猜那必定很贵。光想想那些饮料就晓得了。

　　吉米: 不是的。假如是你的生日，你就不用花一分钱。只有吹生日蜡烛，收礼物就能够了。那才华叫过诞辰啊。你的友人会把所有都张罗好的。

　　阿美: 哇，那太棒了。

　　吉米: 在中国怎么样啊?你们是怎么庆贺生日的呢?

　　阿美: 当初跟美国没什么差别。但在以前，咱们用传统的方式来庆祝生日。 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　吉米: 哦，真的吗?有什么特别的吗?

　　阿美: 妈妈会煮“长命面”。如果是给老人过生日，就要准备寿桃。都是用来祝贺的。 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　吉米: 哇，寿桃。那是什么啊?是真的桃子吗?

　　阿美: 不是的。它们是用麦粉做的，不外看起来就跟真的桃子一样。

　　吉米: 为什么是桃子呢?这里面有什么有趣的传说吗?

　　阿美: 有啊。传说王母娘娘在天上有一些神奇的桃树。如果你吃了那些桃树上结出的桃子，你就能长生不去世。 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　吉米: 哦，我知道这故事。美猴王有一次偷了一些，把王母娘娘给惹怒了。真好玩!
