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,你及时赶到了!
尼 克: 我怎么会忘记呢?是圣诞节耶!
珍 妮: 没错!圣诞节快乐!我本来担心你会忘记要早到。
尼 克: 别傻了。不过我必须警告妳。我在厨房很难帮得上忙。
珍 妮: 没关系。如果你在做事时遇到任何困难,只要告诉我就好了。
尼 克: 当然。我看到妳已经准备好火鸡了。
珍 妮: 是啊,我昨晚就准备好了。我们只需要将它放入烤箱即可。烤它大约需要四个小时。接下来,我们必须开始做馅料。
