(单词翻译)

   Gloria: I’m surprised at the variety of people on this tour.

  Andy: Oh, yeah? I hadn’t noticed.
  Gloria: Well, we’ll be spending the next two weeks with these people so I thought I’d get to know some of them.
  Andy: That’s nice.
  Gloria: Did you see that thirty-something couple with a toddler and an infant1? I’m really surprised they’re on this tour.
  Andy: I’m sure they know what they’re doing.
  Gloria: And how about that group of seniors? Some of them look like they’re in the mid- to late- seventies.
  Andy: They seem pretty spry to me.
  Gloria: But what really surprises me is that group of middle-aged2 couples with their tween and teenage children. They’ll be a handful3.
  Andy: They seemed pretty well behaved to me.
  Gloria: And did you notice that woman in her early-forties and the forty-ish man each traveling alone? She seemed nice, but he didn’t seem too friendly.
  Andy: Maybe he’s using his time to size up everybody like you are.
  Gloria: Well, I wish there were more young adults in this group. I like talking to young people.
  Andy: I think there will be plenty of people for you to talk to these two weeks when you’re not sightseeing.
