B???????难度:★ Expert: Suzanne Zazulak Pedro —5/26/2009Question (from Lucy):???? A long married couple are coming to our town next month for a few days to see all their old friends. I’ve invited them to stay with us. We have a single bed in the basement (地下室), and also a rather uncomfortable double-bed sofa in the living room. My husband says we should offer them our own bed, but I don’t want to. What’s the right thing to do? Answer: Dear Lucy,???? The fact that you made the invitation in the first place already shows your kindness and generosity (大方).???? But I think the couple will feel bad if you offer them your own bed. Maybe you could check around your town and see if you can find a hotel at a good price.???? When I travel I hate to be forced to do something, but am glad to get good suggestions. If they do decide to stay with you, the little things you do will show your good manners. They don’t have to be expensive —maybe fresh flowers from your garden, a cool glass of orange juice, or just some friendly talk when they arrive.???? I’m sure you’ll think of a good way to handle it.???? If you need further tips, let me know, and I wish you a wonderful time with your friends. Yours truly, Suzanne 60. Who is Lucy????A.
