So, about the escape room idea for Saturday, it sounds fun, but have we thought about the cost? I heard they can be a bit pricey.

That's a good point, Sarah. I checked online, and it's about $35 per person. We also need to factor in transportation. It's a bit far from here, so we'd probably need to take an Uber or split gas if someone drives.
English
你说的很对，莎拉。我查了一下，每人大概35美元。我们还需要考虑交通。离这里有点远，所以我们可能需要打优步或者如果有人开车就分摊油费。

Hmm, $35 plus transportation... that adds up. What if we did something more affordable around here, like that mini-golf place? Or just a picnic in the park?
English
嗯，35美元加上交通费……那可不少。如果我们做些更实惠的事情呢，比如那个迷你高尔夫球场？或者只是在公园野餐？

Mini-golf isn't a bad idea, it's usually pretty cheap, maybe $10-$15. And it's walkable. A picnic is even cheaper if we just split the cost of some food.
English
迷你高尔夫不是个坏主意，通常很便宜，大概10-15美元。而且步行就能到。野餐就更便宜了，如果我们只分摊一些食物的费用。

I'm open to anything that doesn't break the bank. My budget's a bit tight this month. How do others feel about a picnic or mini-golf instead of the escape room?
English
我什么都行，只要不花太多钱。我这个月预算有点紧。其他人觉得野餐或迷你高尔夫怎么样，而不是密室逃生？

I'm fine with adjusting our plans. I was looking forward to the escape room, but convenience and cost are definitely factors. We could always do it another time when everyone's budget is a bit more flexible.
English
我没问题，可以调整计划。我本来很期待密室逃生，但方便和成本确实是考虑因素。我们总可以在大家预算更灵活的时候再做。

Agreed. For a picnic, we could each bring a dish to share, or we could just chip in for pizza and grab some drinks. Super low effort, low cost.
English
同意。野餐的话，我们可以每个人带一道菜分享，或者我们大家一起出钱买披萨和饮料。省力又省钱。

Sounds good to me. So, mini-golf or picnic? We'd still need to check the weather for the picnic, obviously.
English
对我来说听起来不错。那么，迷你高尔夫还是野餐？野餐的话，我们显然还需要查看天气。
