LH: Larry，你看，这是我妈送你的礼物！

Larry: Interesting...Is...Is that a rug?

LH: 什么啊？这是毛衣！多好看啊！

Larry: Thats a sweater? Oh, my.。.

LH: 你看！我妈还在这儿别了张纸条，上面说，这是她亲手给你织的。我妈真有两下子，是不是啊，Larry?

Larry: ...Oh my。

LH: 怎么？你不喜欢？

Larry: Umm...Look, Lihua. Dont get me wrong, its great, but...Its just a little tacky for what Id normally wear。

LH: Tacky？什么意思？

Larry: Well...basically...not fashionable。

LH: 不时髦？俗气？这毛衣怎么俗气了？！

Larry: Well, look at this design...there are pine trees and little people knit into it。

LH: 那怎么了，有松树有小人儿就俗气？

LH: 你还嫌颜色太鲜艳，亮得闪了你的眼？！行了行了！I dont think theyre tacky at all. 我觉得一点儿都不俗！我妈亲手织的，看你敢不穿！

Larry: Listen, I know you like tacky clothing, and thats fine. But Im not wearing it。

LH: 什么？你说我喜欢俗气的衣服？！我哪有！

Larry: OK, for example, your pink Hello Kitty tennis shoes are quite tacky。

LH: 粉色的hello kitty网球鞋不是tacky，是可爱！可爱！

Larry: They would be cute on an 8-year old girl, not a college-aged young woman...And how about that jacket you he with all the extra zippers all over it?

LH: 哼！咱俩眼光不同，我不跟你争了。反正我妈的这件爱心毛衣，你非穿不可。

Larry: Lihua, I dont think you understand. There is no way Im going out in public with that thing on!

LH: 你不穿我就要生气了！

Larry: Fet about it! (a second passes) Lihua, e on. Dont be angry. Lihua?

LH: 别理我。我正生气呢。

Larry: (Begrudgingly, sighs) OK, fine. I guess Ill he to swallow my pride and wear the sweater。

LH: Swallow your pride？你说什么呢？

Larry: To swallow your pride means to begrudgingly do something that you are embarrassed to do。

LH: Swallow ones pride就是忍气吞声，勉强去做不愿做的事儿。这么说你是要穿这件毛衣喽？

Larry: Yes, if it will make you happy, I will swallow my pride and wear your mothers tacky sweater。

LH: OH YEAH! Larry你真好！

Larry: Well, its only because I know you he to swallow your pride and do many things on my behalf as well。

LH: 啊？我也为了你忍气吞声过？

Larry: Well, remember when my boss accidentally called you his Japanese friend? You just smiled and nodded, but Im sure you wanted to correct him。

LH: 哦，想起来了。那次，你老板的确把我当成了日本人，不过没关系啦，美国人把中国、韩国、日本人搞混是常事。我不介意，我们中国人也常常觉得只要金头发蓝眼睛就都是美国人！

Larry: Well, do you remember when you swallowed your pride last Halloween? I made you wear that tacky French maid costume to my friends party!

LH: 对！那次万圣节，你非让我穿那件难看得要命的法国女仆装！

Larry: Right. And I want to thank you for swallowing your pride and wearing that tacky costume。

LH: 等等！你是说这件爱心毛衣和那件女仆装一样俗气难看？

Larry: Why not? I think the sweater is tacky, just like you thought the costume was tacky。

LH: 可是我穿的那件女仆装还特别曝露，别扭死了！

Larry: Oh, e on. Wearing a sexy costume is normal on Halloween!

LH: 可我不喜欢穿这种衣服！穿女仆装在你一大堆朋友前走来走去，I really had to swallow my pride! 我牺牲了多少自尊啊！

Larry: Gee, I didnt realize it was so embarrassing for you. You win, ok? Ill wear the tacky sweater. But thats all I can do。

LH: 你想得美！你看，这里还有一个 Hello Kitty的手套，也是我妈织给你的！戴上吧！

Larry: Oh good grief. How does your mother know how to make all of this stuff?
