Learn TOEIC from The Dinners 從『樂子』學多益*

If you live in Taipei and have never been to one of the Diner‘s restaurants, you are missing outBIG TIME! The Diner has been a permanent fixture on my brunch list, and it’s one of the places I always highly recommend to friends for a scrumptious breakfast in the city. I especially like this branch, because it’s in a fairly quiet residential neighborhood, which makes it feel like you are having a breakfast at a loved ones’ house.
如果你住在台北,從來沒有去過『樂子』的任何一間分店,那麼你錯過太多了!『樂子』在我早午餐選單中永遠都有一席之地,而且這是我一直強烈建議朋友們在城市享用美味早餐的地方之一。我特別喜歡這家分店,因為它位於一個相當安靜的居民區,讓人感覺在情人家裡享用一頓豐盛的早餐。
reside (v.) 居住 <+in>
[NOTE] live也是動詞居住的意思,想到居民是不是因為是做這件事的人所以加-er在字尾形成liver呢? 但是liver是肝的的意思喔,就是器官的肝沒錯,所以居民請記得是resident (n.)
The Diner 樂子瑞安店 (Rui’An) offers plenty of seating in their two-story restaurant, but be warned that they are almost always filled to capacity on weekends, even when you get there super early. However, the service was top-shelf and speedy, as always.
樂子瑞安店(瑞安)在它兩層樓的佔地中提供充足的座位,但要注意的是,即使在週末超級早到場,它們還是幾乎客滿。 幸好,他們的供餐服務一如既往地是高品質且快速的。
