原来这是从航海而来。没错，这水手一开始学必须学会哪条绳索是控制哪个风帆的。我也希望我能赶快学会图书馆的一套工作，不然我可能要被开除了！ |
|
LL: There is no need to worry!
|
|
|
你怎么那么可怜呢！ |
|
LL: There! The tank of this gas guzzler is finally full. After I pay the gas attendant, we can get on the road.

油加满啦？快去付钱，完了我们就可以上路了。太棒了，我早就想去国家公园痛痛快快地玩一天。 |
|
LL: They just criticize each other over stupid things. For example, my dad likes to pick on my mom about her cooking. He thinks she's a terrible cook.

|
LL: Wait， you\'re getting lunch before we go? Count me in on that too. I\'m hungry!
|
|
|
你饿了，要跟我们一起吃午饭？我早该知道你会这么说。只要有吃的，你总是要参加的。 |
|
LL: We better hustle, Li Hua!

那不是一种跳舞的步伐吗？你想去跳舞？ |
|
LL: We chit chat about what is going on at work, what we\'ve been doing for fun lately, and even about the weather.
|

|
嗯，聊工作，生活和天气，看来你们哥俩的关系很不错嘛。我也喜欢和家人聊天，特别是和我妈妈。 |
|
LL: Well, I am pretty hungry. But I suppose we can spend a little more time looking for a place with grub we both like.
