AI Stories 2: A Scary Story

南京的梧桐树真正的名字叫“悬铃木”。So its real name is " plane ".
悬铃木的果实有一个球的、叫“一球悬铃木”，三个球的叫“三球悬铃木”。The fruit of sycamore with one ball is called "Sycamore with one ball", and the fruit with three balls is called "Sycamore with three balls".
这二者的杂交，产生了“二球悬铃木，简称”悬铃木“。The hybrid of these two, produced "two ball sycamore, short for" Sycamore."
那为什么叫“法国梧桐“呢？因为它的确与法国有些渊源。Why is it called " plane "? Because it does have something to do with France.
1872年，一位法国传教士在南京的石鼓路栽下了第一棵梧桐树。In 1872, a French missionary planted the first plane tree on Shigu Road in Nanjing.

The story of Thanksgiving

SHANNON: What a fantastic performance! Thank you for inviting 
me to the musical.
ELENA: You are welcome. I’m happy you enjoyed the show. 
The choreography of the dancers was incredible. It 
reminds me of when I used to dance.
SHANNON: I know! You were such a talented ballerina. Do you 
miss dancing?
ELENA: Oh, that’s very kind of you, Shannon. I do miss it 
sometimes. But I will always be a fan of the arts. That’s 
why I love going to musicals because it’s the perfect 
combination of song, dance and theater.
SHANNON: Absolutely! I’m glad you are still an art fan too. Thank 
you for the invitation. It’s always a pleasure to attend 
an arts event with you and learn something new


LANGUAGE NOTES
• You are welcome. Elena replies “You are welcome” in this dialogue. She could also say, 
“Don’t mention it,” which is an example of downgrading. Downgrading a compliment 
varies with culture. When in doubt, just say “You are welcome.”
• When getting a compliment to someone (for example: “You were such a talented
ballerina”), you can either accept the compliment (“That’s very kind of you”) or 
downplay the compliment (“Oh, I wasn’t that good”).
• Giving compliments in English often includes using superlatives (“the most …,” “the 
best …”). This is the best musical playing on Broadway! / What’s the most entertaining 
movie you’ve seen? However, compliments can also be given by using the construction 
“I’m a fan of …”: I’m a fan of the arts. / I’m a big fan of theater. / I’m a huge fan of this 
band. Notice the use of adjectives
