Lesson18:Are You Ditching¹ Me

Laura: I wanted to touch base with you about Julie's party.

Dylan: Oh, that's this weekend? I totally forgot, sorry.

Laura: Are you seriously ditching me? We talked about that weeks ago!

Dylan: My bad. Hey, why don't I take you to dinner to make up for it tomorrow night?

Laura: I don't think so. I've got something else going on, and I can't get out of it.

Dylan: Well, what about Sunday? We could go hiking² over at Stone Mountain Park.

Laura: Nah, I'm not really into that, thanks.

Dylan: OK, how about you call me after the party, and I'll see if I can swing by your house fora bit?

Laura: How about another time? I think I'll be getting home pretty late.

Dylan: Well, there's just no pleasing you today, I guess.

Laura: You're right. I thought I was more of a priority³ to you.

劳拉：不，我不太喜欢，谢谢。

迪伦：好吧，派对结束后你打电话给我，我看看能不能去你家转转一会儿？
