2016-07-28来源:和谐英语

英文原文:

As Holly and Yi-jun walk up
Rich: Hello, ladies. I'm firing up the grill. We can eat in an hour or so.
Yi-jun:Chips, finger foods, desserts, baked beans. Where're the pork and beef strips?
Rich: Yi-jun, we're in the States. Here it's all burgers, steaks, and dogs.
Yi-jun:Ah...hence the buns and condiments we bought. And this is Holly's potato salad.
Rich: You can put stuff on the picnic table. Back to work. The grill is calling me...
Yi-jun: Let me know if I can help.


参考译文:

荷莉和怡君走上前
李奇:哈啰,小姐们。我正在生火。我们过一小时左右就可以吃了。
怡君:洋芋片、小零嘴、点心、焗豆。猪肉和牛肉片呢?
李奇:怡君,我们是在美国。这里全都是汉堡肉、牛排和热狗。
怡君:啊……怪不得我们带这些圆面包和辛香料来。这是荷莉做的马铃薯沙拉。
李奇:你可以把东西放在野餐桌上。回去干活啰。烤肉炉在呼唤了……
怡君:要我帮忙就别客气喔
