Daniel: Grandpa, this seat is for you, for you are the eldest person here and also it's your birthday today.

Grandpa: Oh, you are such a good child today. Come here. Sit next to me.

Daniel: I'm afraid I can't do that. It's Dad's seat, according to the book about table manners.

Grandpa: Oh, you read? Very good. Then, I think we should do something different today. I'll give you some privilege.

Daniel: Great. That's my favorite seat which will be the nearest to the birthday cake.

Grandpa: Now I see what you read the book for. But it's fine. I'll give you the lion's share.

Daniel: Why do they serve up the noodles first? I don't like it. Where is the cake?

Grandpa: This is not common noodles. They're “long-lived” noodles on birthday.

Daniel: I see. Then I'll try it.

(After a few minutes, Daniel finishes his noodles.)

Daniel: Here is my gift for you, Grandpa. Open it.

Grandpa: Oh, a picture with the birthday cake on it. It's the best gift I've got.

Daniel: And I'd like to propose a toast to you, wishing you a happy and healthy life.

Grandpa: Thank you, my good boy. Oh, here comes the birthday cake. What share do you want?

Daniel: I'm too full to eat any more cake. I shouldn't have eaten so many noodles.

Grandpa: Don't worry about that. We'll save your piece, and you can take it home when dinner is over.

Daniel: Great. Grandpa, the Spring Festival is near. Will you please stay with us? We've been missing you so much!

Grandpa: No problem. What's more, I've prepared “gift money” for you.

丹尼尔: 爷爷,这个位置是给您的,因为您是这里的长辈而且今天是您的生日。

爷爷: 哦,你今天可真是个乖孩子啊。过来这里,坐我旁边吧。

丹尼尔: 我觉得我不能那么做。根据餐桌礼仪的书,这应该是爸爸的位置。

爷爷: 哦,你读书了?真不错。这样的话,我想我们今天就做点改变吧。我要给你这个特权。

丹尼尔: 太好了。这是我最喜欢的位置,因为它离生日蛋糕最近。

爷爷: 现在我知道你为什么读那本书了。不过没问题。我会给你最大的一块蛋糕。

丹尼尔: 为什么他们先上面条啊?我不喜欢。蛋糕在哪里呢?

爷爷: 这可不是普通的面条啊?我不喜欢。蛋糕在哪里呢?

丹尼尔: 这可不是普通的面条啊。是长寿面。生日吃长寿面可是中国的古老传统哦。

丹尼尔: 我知道了。那我也要尝一下。

(几分钟后,丹尼尔吃完了他的面条。)

丹尼尔: 这是我给您准备的礼物,爷爷。快打开。

爷爷: 哦,是一幅画了生日蛋糕的图画。它是我收到过的最好的礼物。

丹尼尔: 还有我要向您祝寿,祝您有快乐健康的生活。

爷爷: 谢谢,我的好孩子。哦,生日蛋糕来了。你要哪一块啊?

丹尼尔: 我太饱,吃不下蛋糕了。我刚才不该吃那么多面条的。

爷爷: 不用担心这个。我们把你那份留着,等吃完饭你可以把它带回家。

丹尼尔: 太好了。爷爷,春节快到了。您可以留下来和我们一起住吗?我们一直都特别想您。

爷爷: 没问题。而且啊,我连给你的压岁钱都已经准备好了。
