34. Planning a Picnic 准备一次野餐
A: You know, let's do something we haven't done for a long time. I'd
like to go on a picnic. Where could we go? Over to the park?
B: No. I want to drive out into the country, find a little creek1
someplace away from the highway, and have a real old-fashioned
picnic lunch with fried chicken, and potato salad, and dill pickles2,
and lemonade.
A: Sounds like a good idea. Why don't we go this Sunday?
B: I can't make it. I'm busy all weekend, but next Sunday I'm free.
A: It's a date. You furnish the lunch and I'll provide the
transportation.
