英文原文:

At Wells Church
Yi-jun: Oh, no. It looks like we're late.
Holly: Let's just sit in the back. We can still hear the service from here.
Yi-jun: There're so many people here. Where are Rich and Cath and Taylor's parents?
Holly: They're probably up front. The preacher's about to speak. Let's listen.
Yi-jun: That was such a touching speech. He must have really known Taylor well.
Holly: Oh, how I wish this all wasn't happening!
