10. All Americans Look Alike
美国人长得都一个样

A: I really think all Americans look alike.
我真的觉得美国人长得都一个样。

B: You’re crazy! You haven’t been here long enough.
你瞎说！你在美国住的时间还不长吧。

A: But they do.
他们长得确实是一个样啊。

B: What makes you say that?
何以见得?

A: They wear the same clothes, they’re all blond, they all drive cars, they all own Parker fountain pens; they all drink Coca Cola, and they all chew gum.
他们穿一样的衣服，都是金发碧眼；都开着车子；都有派克钢笔；都喝可口可乐，而且都嚼口香糖。

B: I disagree with you. They don’t all wear the same clothes; they’re definitely not all blond; they don’t all own Parker fountain pens; they don’t all drink Coca Cola, and they don’t all chew gum. I do think they all drive cars though! But that doesn’t have anything to do with how they look！
我不同意你的看法。他们并不都穿一样的衣服；也不全是金发碧眼；不是每个人都有派克钢笔；也不全喝可口可乐，更不都嚼口香糖，而且也不是所有的人都开车！但这和他们的长相也没关呀！

A：Maybe I am just homesick. I know you’re right. I just miss China, that’s all.
可能是我想家吧。我知道你是对的。只是因为我想家，想中国。
