Kadir: Stop that! Stop snickering! Gabriel Voltaire is an author of great acclaim. You shouldshow a little reverence.

別這樣!停止竊笑!Gabriel Voltaire是大獲好評的作者。你應該表現(xiàn)出一點點的崇敬之情。

Melissa: Yes, but he seems to have a bad case of stage fright. I know it’s an honor to hear himspeak, but it’s hard to show reverence when the man is sweating like a pig!

梅利莎：是的，但他似乎會怯場。我知道這是一種榮譽，聽到他的發(fā)言是種榮幸，但是看他緊張得渾身冒冷汗我就很難表現(xiàn)出尊敬了!

Kadir: He’s not sweating like a pig. He’s just talking passionately about his writing. I, for one,appreciate his level of dedication to his work.

他不是渾身汗。他只是在激情地談論他的寫作。對我來說，欣賞他的工作的奉獻水平。

Melissa: I admire his work, too, but he’s making a fool of himself. Really, who can payattention to what he’s saying when he’s stuttering like that.

我很佩服他的工作，但他使自己出丑。說真的，當他這樣口吃地說話，誰能留意他說什么。

Kadir: Unlike you, I can listen to the genius of his words without worrying about a littlestuttering.

不像你，我欣賞他演講的天賦而不關(guān)注他說話有點口吃。

Melissa: The man is making a spectacle of himself. I think he needs to stick to writing andgive up public speaking.

他使自己出洋相。我認為他應堅持寫作，并放棄公開演講。

Kadir: Shh! That’s enough. I won’t hear another word said against him.

：噓!這就夠了。我不會再聽你說他的壞話。

Melissa: Whatever you say. I’ll leave you to your hero worship. For me, enough is enough!

不管你說什么。我可不接受你的英雄崇拜。我受夠了。
