壹蘋派生活美語　出門旅遊趴趴走　居家安全不可少

P: Patrick　　A: Amy

Patrick and Amy are checking their house before taking a long trip.

P: Now that our bags are packed for tonight’s flight, let’s check the house to see if everything is tidied up.

A: Sure, I washed the dishes left in the sink and made sure no fruit was left outside. We don’t want to come back to a swarm of fruit flies.

P: Great. I noticed you cleaned out the fridge, too.

A: Yeah. I tried not to buy more food and just cooked what we had in the refrigerator over the past few days.

派翠克： 現在我們已經為今晚的航班收拾好行李，讓我們檢查一下房子，看看一切是否都收拾好了。

艾　咪： 有，我洗了留在水槽裡的碗盤，並確保沒有水果放在外面。我們不想回來看到一群果蠅。

派翠克： 很好。我注意到妳也清理冰箱了。

艾　咪： 對啊。這幾天我盡量不買更多的食物，只煮冰箱裡有的東西。
