Susan: "Im sorry. What?"

抱歉，你說什么？

Julie: "Im singing at church for the family follies. Edies going to accompany me on guitar. Shes really good."

我要在教堂為歌舞劇伴唱。伊迪準(zhǔn)備用吉他為我伴奏，她很不錯(cuò)的。

Susan: "So you and Edie are, are gonna be an act."

所以你跟伊迪要一起表演節(jié)目，

Julie: "Is that a problem?"

有什么問題嗎？

Susan: "No. No. I mean, Im a little surprised that you didnt ask me to accompany you first."

沒有，沒有。我只是有點(diǎn)驚訝你沒有先約我給你伴奏。

Julie: "On what? You dont play an instrument."

用什么伴奏，你什么樂器都不會(huì)。

Susan: "I play the piano. You know that."

我會(huì)彈鋼琴的，你知道。

Julie: "How would I know that? Ive never seen you play."

我怎么會(huì)知道，你從來沒彈過。

Susan: "Well, I played in high school."

我上高中時(shí)彈過。

Julie: "So the last time you tickled the ivories was sometime in the late seventies?"

也就是說你上次碰鋼琴是在70年代末。

Susan: "It was the early eighties. Well, Im not gonna argue with you. You want to do the show with Edie, and I think thats super. So shes really good, huh?"

是在80年代初好不好。我不打算跟你吵了。你要和伊迪一起表演，我覺得挺棒的。她真的不錯(cuò)，是吧？

Julie: "She knows her guitar. Apparently, there are a lot of musicians in her family, sort of like the Von Trapps."

她懂得吉他，很明顯，她家族里有許多音樂家，有點(diǎn)像馮.特拉普家族（電影《音樂之聲》里的一家）

Susan: "Hmm."

Julie: "Except, you know, her brother ODd."

除了有一點(diǎn)，她的兄弟死于吸毒過量。
