Good idea. I could really use a margarita right now so I hope they get here soon! But I’m thinking that if all these people come, it’s going to get pretty noisy. We should tell the neighbors that we are having some people over tonight. Hopefully, they won’t
get too upset and call the police.
好主意啊。 我現在真想喝一點瑪格麗特酒，所以我希望他們快點來！ 但是我覺得這些人來了之後會很吵。 我應該和我鄰居說一聲我們今晚會有人過來開派對。 希望他們不會太生氣把員警都叫來。

呃，會是誰呢？ 我猜肯定是Ben的女朋友。 我聽說她以前因為在賣場裡順手牽羊被抓起來過。 我們把所有值錢的東西 都放到我的衣櫃里，然後我們可以把我的房門鎖起來。 我不想任何人翻我東西。
