B: Ah, sentar na sombra num parque. Uma das grandes delícias da vida.
A: Além do mais podemos ficar olhando as pessoas no parque. Olha aquela senhora lá?

A: Grab that bench, will you? Let’s take a break for a bit, OK?
B: Ah, sitting in the shade in the park. One of life’s great delights.
A: Not to mention people watching in the park. Hey check out that lady over there?
B: What’s she wearing? Looks like a straw hat, an apron and flip flops.
