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： 现在我们已经为今晚的航班收拾好行李，让我们检查一下房子，看看一切是否都收拾好了。
艾 咪： 有，我洗了留在水槽里的碗盘，并确保没有水果放在外面。我们不想回来看到一群果蝇。
派翠克： 很好。我注意到妳也清理冰箱了。
艾 咪： 对啊。这几天我尽量不买更多的食物，只煮冰箱里有的东西。
