Jack: Of course not—you need your 1)nutrition. And you look great. Speaking of nutrition, is there anything I can get you?

Carol: Well, since you 2)brought it up, I could use a steak, medium rare, some chocolate chip ice cream, and some macaroni and cheese.

Jack: Ha-ha. Is that all? Coming right up, honey. About Labor Day—how about having a 9)house party?

Jack: Exactly, which means traffic will be a 3)nightmare. That’s why it’s the perfect time to enjoy a nice 4)staycation.

杰克：当然不是啊——你需要营养。而且你看起来好极了。说到营养，有什么要我帮你准备的吗？

卡萝：既然你提起了，我想要一块牛排，五分熟、一些巧克力碎片冰淇淋，还有乳酪通心粉。

杰克：哈哈，这些就够了吗？马上就替你送上，宝贝。至于劳动节那天——要不要在家里办一场派对？

卡萝：但是大家都会利用那三天的周末假期到外地去玩。

杰克：没错，那表示交通会是一场恶梦。所以这时候最适合享受在家度假的感觉。

visit 在这个词组里当名词用，而 visit 本身也可以当动词，因此下面对话中的第一句也可以说 What do you say we visit Aunt Ellie while we’re in San Francisco?

A: What do you say we pay a visit to Aunt Ellie while we’re in San Francisco? 我们到旧金山时去探望爱丽阿姨如何？

B: That’s a great idea. We haven’t seen her in ages. 好主意。我们好久没见到她了。
