来听今天的讲解:

A: Yeah. You're the only one here.
对。现在只有你在这里。
B: Good point. Favorite color — green.
说得对。我最喜欢的颜色是绿色。
A: Yeah. Why green?
为什么喜欢绿色?
B: I don't know. I just chose on really. I don't know. These days I kind of like green, but it changes all the time.
我也不知道。只是选了绿色。我也不清楚。最近我比较喜欢绿色,不过我喜欢的颜色总是会变。
A: Like seasonally? You have your favorite color for the season?
随季节变化吗?根据季节的不同,你喜欢的颜色也会不同吗?
B: I think it's more of a monthly thing.
可能每个月都会变。
A: Right.
好。
B: You?
你呢。
A: Well, purple. I love the color purple.
我喜欢紫色。我非常喜欢紫色。
B: Why is that?
为什么?
A: I don't know really. Same thing I guess and I never wear purple. I mean, I don't have purple clothes. I don't have anything purple in my room, but.
其实我也不清楚。和你一样,不过我从来不穿紫色的衣服。我是说,我没有紫色的衣服。我房间里也没有紫色的物品,不过我就是喜欢。
B: You should have a purple suit.
你应该买套紫色西装。
A: A zoot suit. A purple suit.
一套紫色的佐特套装。
B: Yeah, just for one on those days when you're feeling it. You could pull it off.
对,哪天你可以穿出来。
A: A yellow shirt maybe and purple tie.
黄色衬衫配紫色领带。
B: No, and a purple shirt too and a purple tie, some purple patent shoes and a purple brief case.
不好,还是紫色衬衫配紫色领带,再搭配一双紫色皮鞋,拿一个紫色公文包。
A: I'm not sure it's going to go with my complexion.
我不确定这套搭配是否适合我的肤色。
B: No, I think it will work.
我觉得很适合。
A: Purple hat, suede hat.
再戴一个紫色的羊皮帽。
B: I see it all right now. It looks good.
我觉得很好。看起来很好。
A: OK, what's a color you don't like?
好,你不喜欢哪个颜色?
B: A color I don't like. I'll show you a color I don't like, but I don't know if there's a name for it, the closest name would probably be mustard.
不喜欢的颜色。我可以给你看一下我不喜欢的颜色,不过我不确定那个颜色的准确说法,大概就是芥末黄这个颜色。
A: Like this green.
就像这种绿色一样吗?
B: You think that's a green. See I think that's more of baby diarrhea.
你觉得那是种绿色。我认为那更接近于婴儿腹泻的颜色。
A: It does actually look like baby diarrhea.
看起来的确像婴儿腹泻的颜色。
B: It is quite baby diarrhea. Have you ever had to change a baby's diaper?
就是很像婴儿腹泻的颜色。你给婴儿换过尿布吗?
A: Of course.
当然换过。
B: Yeah, it's kind of, it's about that color and that's one that I don't like. Yeah, it's bad isn't it.
对,就是那种颜色,那就是我不喜欢的颜色。那颜色很糟,是吧?
A: That is disgusting.
有点儿恶心。
B: There's a story behind those pants.
关于这条裤子有个有意思的故事。
A: Oh, yeah, what's the story behind the pants?
这条裤子有什么有意思的故事?
B: I think no one would buy them so they got heavily discounted and so I purchased them and then when I got home, I was like, "Wait a second! I know why no one else would buy those cause they're so ugly."
我觉得是因为没有人买这样的裤子,所以这裤子的折扣很低,所以我买了下来,然后我回家以后,我突然想到:等等,我知道为什么没人买这裤子了,因为它们太丑了!
A: What, you were working at a clothing store?
你在服装店工作吗?
B: No, I was shopping.
不是,我是去购物的。
A: And you noticed that no one buying these poor pants and you're like, 'I must buy them."
你是注意到没人买那裤子然后你觉得你一定要买下来吗?
B: Yeah. No, actually, I think like whenever I buy stuff, cause it's not often, my first thing is I look at the price tag and I was like, "Ah, dam, a thousand yen, I could use some work pants." And then I bought them and well, they've never been worn, but a little while later.
其实不是,我不经常买东西,所以我购物的时候第一件事就是看价格标签,所以当时我想:天哪,1000日元,我可以买来当作工作裤。然后我就买了,后来我一直没有穿过,不过之后……
A: Well, you've actually never worn these things?
你从来没穿过这些衣服吗?
B: I've never worn them.
没穿过。
A: Come on, you gotta, you know bust out.
你要勇于尝试。
B: I can't bust out. It's like me busting out in those is akin to you busting out in the purple suit. It's just not going to happen.
我做不到。对我来说,穿这样的裤子就像你穿紫色西装一样。是永远不会发生的事情。
A: Yeah, but you see, I would actually have to spend a lot of money. I would wear the purple suit but I just don't want to go buy it. If I actually had it I'd probably wear it.
你看,我要穿紫色西装就要花一大笔钱。我会穿紫色西装,不过我只是不想买紫色西装。如果我有紫色西装,那我就会穿的。
B: That's dishonest because if I got you a purple suit, you would not wear it.
你说的不是真话,如果我给你买一套紫色西装,你还是不会穿的。
A: Oh, buy it. I'll wear it.
哦,你买吧。我会穿的。
B: Oh, no way. There's not way you would.
不可能。你肯定不会穿的。
A: Because you know what, the greatest thing about being a teacher is you can wear whatever you want.
你知道,当老师最棒的事情就是你可以想穿什么衣服就穿什么。
B: That's kind of true.
这倒是事实。
A: You know because they expect you to have no fashion sense anyway.
不过他们认为你没有时尚品味。
B: For sure.
没错。
A: So.
是吗?
B: It is true actually.
其实这没错。
