Hey, Dan. You’ve been sitting in front of the computer for hours. What gives? |
Dan: | I was trying to keep it a surprise, but I’m at my wit’s end. Can you help me out here? |
Brooke: | Sure. But I’m no computer geek. |
Dan: | Yeah, but you work in 1) publishing. You probably know how to use photo editing 2) software, right? |
Brooke: | I do know a little. What are you trying to do? Make me a gift? |
Dan: | It’s a gift, but it’s for Sarah. |
Brooke: | Oh, that’s so sweet! My brother’s a hopeless romantic! |
布魯克: | 嘿,丹。你坐在電腦前好幾個小時了。怎麼啦? |
丹: | 我原本要保密讓它變成一個驚喜的,但我已經束手無策了。妳能幫個忙嗎? |
布魯克: | 好啊,但我可不是什麼電腦通。 |
丹: | 對啦,但妳在出版業工作。妳應該會用照片編輯軟體,對吧? |
布魯克: | 確實略知一二。你想要弄什麼?做禮物給我? |
丹: | 是禮物,但是要給莎拉的。 |
布魯克: | 噢,好貼心!我弟是個無可救藥的浪漫派! |
