B: Take it back to the store from which it came without mentioning the fact to the donor. However, if it has arrived directly through the mail and the package is insured, the donor should be notified so that he or she can collect insurance.

B：不要告诉送礼者，直接拿到原来的商店。但是，如果礼物是直接邮寄过来的，包裹已保险了，应通知送礼者，这样他或她能得到保险金。

1704998977
A：婚礼和婚宴在同一地点举行吗？
1704998978
1704998979
B: No, not usually. Most people are married in a church, and then the wedding party and guests go to another place for the reception. Sometimes, however, they hold the reception in a big room in the church.

1704999004
1704999005
B：哦！在美国，婚礼的安排、费用等全部由新娘家负责，所以，请客也在新娘家。
1704999006

1704999008

1704999011
