Waiting on Love

　　Jacob is Tom's nephew. He is going on a date with his new girl-friend. He has bought her flowers but they are wilted. Tom talks to Jacob about what is m

ost important when giving gifts.

　　Tom: Hi Jacob. Where are you going?

　　Jacob: I am going to the shopping mall.

　　Tom: Are you going to see the new movie?

　　Jacob: Yes, I'm going to take Sally, my new girlfriend.

　　Tom: Is that why you have flowers in your hands?

　　Jacob: Yes. I bought the flowers before school and left them in my locker. I'm afraid

　　they are wilting.

　　Tom: Oh yes, they look like they need water.

　　Jacob: I'm afraid that she will be upset.

　　Tom: It is the thought that counts.

　　Jacob: I hope so.

　　Tom: She will appreciate your effort as long as it comes from the heart.

　　Jacob: What does that mean?

　　Tom: What is inside your heart matters more than what gifts you buy for her.

　　Jacob: Okay. I think that is very true.

　　Tom: Have a nice time at the mall!

　　Jacob是Tom的侄子，他要和新交的女朋友约会。他为她买了鲜花，可是那些花已经开始枯萎了。Tom通过送礼物的事情教给了Jacob一些道理。

　　Tom：嗨，雅各布。你要去哪里？

　　Jacob：我要去购物中心。

　　Tom：你是要去看新上映的电影吗？

　　Jacob：是啊。我要和Sally一起去看，她是我新交的

　　 女朋友。

　　Tom：难怪你手里拿着花儿呢。

　　Jacob：是啊，我在上学前买好的。我把它们放在了我

　　的柜子里，可是它们现在已经有点蔫儿了。

　　Tom：没错，它们看上去好像很需要滋润。

　　Jacob：恐怕她会失望了。

　　Tom：你的心意才是最重要的。

　　Jacob：但愿如此。

　　Tom：只要你的礼物用心了，她就会感激你的。

　　Jacob：这是什么意思？

　　Tom：你的心意远比你买什么礼物给她更重要。

　　Jacob：好吧，我想你说的一点没错。

　　Tom：祝你们玩得愉快。
