The Long Road Home

回家的漫漫長路

Kathy and Evan have left Stockholm and are driving back to Amsterdam to return their rented car.

凱西和艾凡已經(jīng)離開斯德哥爾摩，正開車回阿姆斯特丹歸還他們租來的

車子。

E:As the Chinese say, "All feasts must come to an end."

艾凡：就如中國人說的：“天下無不散的宴席。”

K:Where did you hear that saying?

凱西：你在哪里聽到這句諺語的?

E:I read it in a book somewhere. It's a very interesting proverb. Nothing lasts forever, does it?

艾凡：我在某處的一本書上看過這句話。那是一句很有趣的成語。任何事物都不能永久持續(xù)下去，是不是?

K:Well, I suppose true love does.

凱西：不過，我認為真愛能永恒持續(xù)。

E:Uh, yeah, I guess that could be true.

艾凡：呃，也許吧，我猜想那可能是真的。

K:What do you mean, you "guess" it could be true?

凱西：你是什么意思，你“猜想”那可能是真的?

E:Well, uh, I've never, I mean I've never actually been in love before, you know, I mean, with, with someone outside my family.

艾凡：呃，是這樣的，我從來沒，我是說我以前從來沒有真的戀愛過。妳知道的，我的意思是，和……和我家人以外的人

K:Well, I have.

凱西：嗯，我有。

E:Oh? When was that?

艾凡：哦?那是什么時候的事呢?

K:In high school. But I guess that was just puppy love. It didn't last.

凱西：在高中的時候。但是我想那只是少男少女間不成熟的迷戀罷了。那段愛情沒有持續(xù)下去。

E:Anyway, I've really enjoyed traveling in Europe with you, Kathy. You're a great partner. You don't complain much, your habits are OK, and you have a great sense of humor.

艾凡：不管怎樣，凱西，和你同游歐洲我真的很快樂。你是一個很棒的游伴。不怎么會抱怨、你的習(xí)慣還好，而且很有幽默感。

K:Well, thank you! And you, Mr. Whiting, are a good partner, too. Would you like to do this again?

凱西：嗯，謝了!而你懷汀先生也是一個很好的游伴。你想再來這樣一趟旅行嗎?

E:Yes, actually, I would. But after we pay off this trip!

艾凡：想呀，實際上，我會的。但是要在我們付清這趟旅行的費用之后才行!
