I found my earrings. We can go now.

Was John here today?

Well, yeah.

The lawn hasn’t been mowed. I’ve had it. We’re getting a real gardener.

Why？

Are you deaf?I just said he’s not doing his job.

我找到了我的耳环，我们可以走了。

约翰今天来了吗？

呃，对啊。

草坪根本没修剪。我受够了。我们得找个专业的园丁了。

为什么？

你耳聋啊？我说他根本没有做好自己的工作。

It’s dark. You just can’t see the lawn has been mowed.

It hasn’t been. Feel this grass.

I’m not feeling the grass. Let’s just get going. Come on, we’re late.

Yes, sir.

There’s Tanaka. Time for me to go and do my dance.

Good luck, sweetheart.

Excuse me.

Ma’am.

You see that man just walked away? Can you make sure he has a drink in his hand all night long?

Yes, ma’am.

看好车。

好的，先生。

塔纳卡在那儿。轮到我大显身手了。

祝你好运，亲爱的。

打扰一下。

女士，怎么了？

你看到走过去的那个男人了吗？你能保证他整晚手里都有酒吗？

好的，女士。
