We were having 1D weather in London that Robert suggested 2A Christmas week in an Italian seaside resort we had visited the previous summer. We thought this idea 3B for 4C day or two and then 5C our minds to go. When I asked my brother whether I could 6B some money from him, he advised me 7D anywhere 8C that time of year but finally 9A help us when 1 promised faithfully 10D him back the loan from my next month’s salary. The manager of a local tourist office gave me some advice and a lot of useful 11C about our 12A from London to Italy, hotels and type of clothes 13D with us for Christmas week. “You’d better 14D London at 15D before Christmas if you can, 16B not earlier, so 17C plenty of time for the Christmas Eve celebrations,” he said, “I hope you enjoy 18C very much.”

　　倫敦的天氣如此之好以至于羅伯特提議我們到夏天時我們曾經(jīng)去過的那家意大利海邊度假勝地度過圣誕節(jié)前后的一周。我們思前想后了一兩天最后終于決定前行。當(dāng)我問我的表哥借錢時，他建議我在一年中的那段時間千萬不要出門，不過最后他還是同意借我錢，前提是我必須得誠信地用我下個月的工資還錢給他。對于我們從倫敦到意大利的旅行，居住的賓館以及為了度過圣誕節(jié)前后一周所必須準備的服裝，一家本地旅行社的經(jīng)理給我們提供了一些建議和有用的信息�！皩嵲诓幌牖厝ヌ�早，那么，如果可以的話，你們最好是在圣誕節(jié)前的那天中午回倫敦，這樣你們才有足夠多的時間準備平安夜的慶�；顒��！彼�說，“我希望你們能玩得開心�！�

　　Now we are looking forward 19B in a warm sunny country for a few days, but we have just heard 20A the radio that icy gales are sweeping Southern Europe while London is now enjoying blue skies and warm sunshine.

　　現(xiàn)在我們非�？释�在一個陽光燦爛的溫暖的國家呆上幾天，可是我們剛從收音機收聽到南歐將刮寒風(fēng)，而倫敦卻是陽光燦爛，天氣晴朗。
