The volunteers group also organises monthly social events, which is a great way to meet other people, of course.
志愿者小组每月也会组织社交活动，当然，这是结识其他人的好方法。
Uhuh.
啊哈。
So next month, on the 19th of October, we're holding a quiz–a couple of residents are great at planning unusual ones, and we always fill the village hall.
因此，下个月，即10月19日，我们将举行一个问答比赛。一些居民很擅长策划不同寻常的问答比赛，到时村里大厅会挤满人。
That sounds like fun. Can I do anything to help?
听起来很有趣。我能帮上什么忙吗？
Well, because of the number of people, we need plenty of refreshments for halfway through.
嗯，因为人多，我们比赛中途需要很多茶点。
So, if you could provide any, we'd be grateful.
所以，如果你能提供任何一些帮助，我们将不胜感激。
I'm sure I could. I'll think about what to make, and let you know.
我相信我能做到。我要考虑做什么，然后告诉你。
Thank you. Then on November the 18th, we're holding a dance, also in the village hall.
谢谢。之后在11月18日，我们也会在村里的大厅举行一场舞会。
We've booked a band that specialises in music of the 1930s–they've been before, and we've had a lot of requests to bring them back.
我们已经预订了一个专门演奏20世纪30年代音乐的乐队，他们以前也来过，我们收到了很多村民的请求，他们希望这只乐队再来演奏。
I'm not really a dancer, but I'd like to do something to help.
我不擅长跳舞，但我想帮点忙。
Well, we sell tickets in advance, and having an extra person to check them at the door, as people arrive, would be good–it can be quite a bottleneck if everyone arrives at once!
嗯，我们提前售票，当人们到达时，最好有一个人在门口检票。如果人们同时到达，这可能是一个相当大的难题！
OK, I'm happy with that.
好的，我很高兴能帮上忙。
We're also arranging a New Year's Eve party.
我们还在筹划一个新年晚会。
We're expecting that to be a really big event, so instead of the village hall, it'll be held in the Mountfort Hotel.
我们预计这将会是一场盛大的活动，所以它将在蒙特福特酒店举行，而不是在村里的大厅举行。
The…?
什么酒店？
Mountfort. M-O-U-N-T-F-O-R-T Hotel. It isn't in Southoe itself, but it's only a couple of miles away.
蒙特福特酒店。拼写是M-O-U-N-T-F-O-R-T。它不位于索索，但只有几英里远。
The hotel will be providing dinner and we've booked a band. The one thing we haven't got yet is a poster.
酒店将提供晚餐，我们已经预订了乐队。唯独缺一张海报。
That isn't something you could do, by any chance, is it?
这不是你能做的事，不是吗？
Well actually, yes. Before I retired I was a graphic designer, so that's right up my street.
事实上，我能做。退休前，我是一名平面设计师，所以这正和我对口。
Oh perfect! I'll give you the details, and then perhaps you could send me a draft…
哦，太好了！我会告诉你细节，然后也许你可以寄给我一份草稿……
Of course.
当然。
