新东方英语口语900句 Lesson 20: Marriage

　　B: What you mean? You have someone on the side?

　　A: I mean... marry me.

　　B: I love you, but I don't want a kid. I don't feel like taking care of kids.

　　Number two: Aunt Caroline

　　A: I've got a letter from aunt Caroline. You remember her, don't you, David? We stayed in her house in Florida during our honeymoon.
