A: Frances, do you know if the cafeteria around the corner's open
today?
B: Yes. They were open this morning when I came to work. They
must've finished remodeling. Why'd you want to know?
A: Well, I thought that maybe we could go there for lunch today.
That is. If you haven't promised to go with someone else.
B: That'd be wonderful, Joe. But I hope you're in a better mood than
you were this morning.
A: I'm sorry I was such a grouch2. It must've been the weather. When
it rains I get depressed3.
B: Forget it. I'll see you at twelvethirty.
Notes

Why'd you-why did you
In a better mood 情绪好一些
Grouch 脾气不好的人
It must've been the weather 大概是天气的原故
A：弗朗西斯，你了解街角上的自助餐厅今天开门营业吗？
B：是的，今天早上我来上班时看到它开着。他们大概已经装修好了。为何你想了解？
A：嗯，我想大家今天可以去那儿吃午饭。就是说，假如你没答应其他人去的话。
B：那太好了，乔。不过我期望你目前的情绪比早上要好一些。
A：非常抱歉，我的脾气那样不好。大概是天气的原故。每当下雨我就非常沮丧。
B：忘掉这事吧。十二点半再见
