James: I play base guitar.
Todd: OK. How long have you been playing the guitar?
James: I've been playing the guitar for about 12 or 13 years.
Todd: Oh, really! OK. Nice. Do you play any other instruments?
James: I play a little guitar and a little drums.
Todd: Since you're in a band do you meet lots of women?
James: Yes.
Todd: Really! You're a rock star.
James: Yes.
Todd: Nice. Nice. Do you tour or do you just play where you live?
James: We just play in clubs. Local clubs.
Todd: OK. What the best thing about being a musician, in the band?
James: It's really good for relaxing and having fun.
Todd: Is it your full-time job?
James: No, it's not. It's only a hobby.
Todd: Oh, OK.
Todd: OK. Ramon, we're going to talk about opposites.
Jamon: OK.

Todd: That's true. How much do you weigh?
Jamon: I weigh 65.
Todd: Wow! 65 kilograms.
Jamon: Yeah.
Todd: Yeah, yeah. I'm a little bit heavier, about 72....What is expensive?
Jamon: A big house is expensive.
Todd: Yeah, pretty much anywhere. Ooh..loud motorcycle. Sorry! What is small? I mean..I'm sorry..what is cheap?
Jamon: What is cheap? The 100 Yen shop is cheap.
Todd: Yeah. What can you buy at a 100 Yen shop?
Jamon: About everything.
Todd: Yeah.
Jamon: Which is good?
Todd: Do you think 100 Yen shops are a good idea, or do you think they're environmentally a bad idea?
Jamon: No, I like the 100 Yen shop.
Todd: Yeah. The cheap stuff. Actually. I do to. It's nice. Alright. Thanks a lot.
Todd: OK. Keri, can you drive?
Kerri: Yes, I can.
Todd: Do you have a driver's license?
Kerri: I do.
Todd: OK. So, how long have you had your driver's license?
Kerri: I think I got it when I was 17 actually.
Todd: OK. How do you get a driver's license in your country?
Kerri: Well, I think it's changed since I was a teenager. At that time, you get a learner's permit. And then you start driving with your parents. And you'd also go to drivers ed. And then you had to pass a driving test. I think a written test as well.
Todd: OK. Did you get a perfect score on your driving test?
Kerri: I was close to perfect, yeah. I can't remember my exact score but I remember it was pretty good.
Jaco: Hi, I am Jaco McGuire. You must be Mr. Simpson. I’m here to pick up your girl Jessica.
你好。我是杰克麦奎尔。您肯定是辛普森先生。我是来接您女儿杰西卡的。
Mr. Simpson: Okay, kid. She is upstairs changing. Where are you taking her?
好的。她在楼上换衣服。你要带她去哪里?
Jaco: We are going to movies. Romeo and Juliet.
我们要去看电影《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。
Mr. Simpson: That’s a good one. Her mom and I went out to see that movie too on our first date. But I don’t like the ending.
那部电影不错。她妈妈和我的第一次约会也是看了这部电影。可是我不喜欢结局。
Jaco: Me, neither. They should have lived happily ever after.
我也不喜欢。他们本应该永远幸福的生活在一起的。
Mr. Simpson: Thanks to her stupid Dad and cousin, they both died. Family hatred should not have got in the way of love. Do you hate me?
就是因为那个迂腐的父亲和表哥,他们都死了。家庭仇恨不应该介入爱情的。你讨厌我吗?
Jaco: No, absolutely not. You are a nice man. Jessica talked a lot about you.
不,当然不了。您是一个好人。杰西卡经常提起您。
Mr. Simpson: Really? Nothing bad, I hope. Whose fault you think made the two split up for ever? Let’s show some honesty here. Are you going to kill me if I say you are not allowed to meet my Jesse?
Jaco: I, uh, No. No. But I need to know why. If it is my fault, or you don’t think I am good enough for her, I will do everything that I can to improve myself.
Mr. Simpson: Kidding, kid. Relax. Call me Carl. Now we are on the first-name bases. Take care of my girl.
放松点儿,开玩笑的。叫我卡尔吧。现在我们可以直呼其名了。好好照顾我的女儿。

《红字》?可能那就是爱情的真谛吧。

她丈夫齐灵渥斯是这个世界上最悲惨的人。他靠复仇活着,而这一切的仇恨是他自己造成的。
Sherry: He disappeared at first. At that time, it is very normal for his wife to think that he might have died. And he is much older than Hester. Such a pervert.
