J: Jenny N: Nick
On Christmas Day, Nick arrives at Jenny’s house to help prepare their Christmas dinner.
J: Hey, you made it!
N: How could I forget? It’s Christmas!
J: That’s right! Merry Christmas! I was worried you might forget to show up early.
N: Don’t be silly. I have to warn you, though. I’m pretty useless in the kitchen.
J: That’s fine. Just let me know if you have any trouble with the tasks.
N: Certainly. I see you’ve got the turkey ready.
J: Yes, I prepared it last night. We just need to pop it in the oven. It’ll take about four hours to cook. Next, we’ll have to get started on the stuffing.

珍 妮: 嘿,你及時趕到了!
尼 克: 我怎麼會忘記呢?是聖誕節耶!
珍 妮: 沒錯!聖誕節快樂!我本來擔心你會忘記要早到。
尼 克: 別傻了。不過我必須警告妳。我在廚房很難幫得上忙。
珍 妮: 沒關係。如果你在做事時遇到任何困難,只要告訴我就好了。
尼 克: 當然。我看到妳已經準備好火雞了。
珍 妮: 是啊,我昨晚就準備好了。我們只需要將它放入烤箱即可。烤它大約需要四個小時。接下來,我們必須開始做餡料。
