U13-01

Please watch out, this dish is very spicy. We use special hot peppers in Ethiopian cooking. Now, Rebecca, please take a piece of bread and eat what you like.

请小心,这菜很辣。我们在埃塞俄比亚用一种非常辣的辣椒做饭。丽贝卡,拿一块面包,挑你喜欢的吃。

Well, let's drink to Rebecca and welcome her to San Francisco. Here's to the beginning of a new life!

来,为丽贝卡干杯,欢迎她到旧金山来。为新生活的开始干杯!

As a Californian!

为成为加州人干杯!

Rebecca, would you like some more water?

丽贝卡,你还要来点水吗?

Ah, yes please.

是的,谢谢。

Ah, you see, Melaku, not everyone believes that spice is the variety of life.

你看,麦拉库,并不是每一个人都相信调味品使生活多样化。

Angela, I believe the phrase you're looking for is: 'Variety is the spice of life.' It means... What does it mean, huh?

安吉拉,我想你想说的是“多样化是生活的调味品”。意思是…是什么意思来着?

Watch out, Rebecca, Edward loves to correct our speech.

小心,丽贝卡,爱德华喜欢更正我们的谈话。

Only when it's wrong.

只有在你错的时候。

I'm glad you do. It helps me improve my English.

我喜欢你更正错误。这可以帮助我提高英文。

You speak very well, Melaku. Many Americans don't speak English as well as you do.

麦拉库,你英文讲得很好。很多美国人的英文都讲得不如你好。

I'll need it for my business some day...

终有一天我在做生意时会需要英文…

I'd like to hear from the new arrival. You must be experiencing a certain amount of culture shock...moving to a new city, sharing this old house with people you don't know, having a meal with a senior citizen let out for the evening.

我想听听新人的感受。你一定经历了不少文化差异带来的震惊,来到新的城市,和不认识的人住在一个房子里,和我这个老人共进晚餐。

Now, Uncle, don't make everyone uncomfortable.

叔叔,别让每个人都觉得不舒服。

I have to make my little jokes while I can, Nancy.

在我还行时,我得开玩笑,南茜。

My trip out here has been...Well, there've been several surprises since I left Boston...but I feel lucky...nd thankful...that my mom's best friend has taken me in...and introduced me to all of you. I feel ready to take whatever comes my way. I'll even take some more of your Ethiopian food, Melaku....and some more water.

我此次之行...从我离开波士顿后,确实经历过几次意外。但我还是感到幸运和感激,我母亲的好朋友接纳了我,把我介绍给你们。我已经准备好去接受我将要面对的所有问题。我甚至要再吃点埃塞俄比亚饭,麦拉库...再来点水。

Don't ask, Kevin. My car broke down, and this guy helped me out. I had to sell my car and take the bus the rest of the way. Anyway, how's Dad?... Are you sure?... No, don't wake him... just tell him everything's OK...The house? It's fine...It'll be just fine.

别问了,凯文。我的车坏了,这个家伙帮了我。我不得不卖掉我的车并且剩下的路得乘公共汽车。无论如何,父亲怎么样?...你确定吗?...不,别叫醒他。告诉他一切都好...房子?好的...一切都好。

Kevin, I have to go. I'll talk to you and Dad real soon, OK? Me too. Bye.

凯文,我得走了。我会很快给你和父亲电话的,好吗?我也是。再见。

What's wrong, Nancy? Is there anything I can do?

怎么了,南茜?我能做点什么?

Not really. I don't think Edward's going to come back for dinner anymore.

不用了。我认为爱德华不再会回来吃饭了。

No?

不?

Oh, he said these trips wear him out...and it takes him all week to recover. He was always such a strong man...

哦,他说这些旅行让他筋疲力尽...他需要花整周时间恢复。他曾是个很强壮的男人。

Maybe he'll feel better next week...

也许他下个星期会好点...

I'll tell you, growing old isn't easy.. . See you in the morning.

我会告诉你,人老了就不容易了...明天早晨见.

OK...goodnight.

好的...晚安。

Goodnight.

晚安。
