Victor:Hello! 大家好,我们是戴尔老师Victor。
Nancy:Nancy.
Victor:Nancy,今天我们来讨论一下有关亲戚的话题。
Nancy:I'm visiting relatives this weekend.
Victor:这个周末我要去看看我的亲戚。
Nancy:Relatives means family members. But not really close family, not your mother, father, sister or brother.
Victor:啊,听了Nancy的话,我真是醍醐灌顶。原来relative是亲戚的意思,可不包括你的爸爸、妈妈、兄弟、姐妹,所有的直系亲属叫family member。
Nancy:But this would be your grandparents, your aunts, your uncles or your cousins.
Victor:大家要注意这里Nancy用的介词visit on your cousins,cousin就表示你的表兄妹或兄弟。
Nancy:So, I'm visiting relatives this weekend.
Victor:I'm visiting relatives this weekend.
Nancy:That's all for today.
Victor:Bye-bye!
Nancy:Bye-bye!
