B：看来斯特拉想得很周全。我想我今天会带她去吃午餐。
Dialogue 3
A：Do you think we should have one of our speed boats there?
B：That would be impressive. If we want people to buy boats we have to show them.
A：I was talking to Ken. He says there's no other boat dealer in the show.
B：That means no competition for us. Let's take a boat with us.
A：What color?Blue is the color we sell the most of.
B：Then that's the color of the boat we should take.

B：那么我们就应该带蓝色的船过去。

Dialogue 6

A：Okay. I think we're ready to go.
B：Did you grab the cell phone?
