嘿,给你Mary的婚礼请帖。
李: Oh my god! I must be crazy!
哦,我的天哪!我要疯了!
杨: What? Do you like her?
怎么了? 难道你爱她?
李: Are you joking? I only mean this is the third time that I receive such invitation this month.
你在开玩笑吗?我只是说这个月我已经收到3次请帖了。
杨: Wedding is a good thing. New couples want to share their happiness.
婚礼是开心的事情。新人们希望分享快乐。
李: I am also happy. The only sad thing is my pocket.
我很高兴。难过得只有我的口袋。
杨: Oh, you mean "red envelope".
哦,你说红包。
李: Yes. If I do not take one, I will feel embarrassed and the inviter would privately say that I have no idea about "gratitude".
对的。如果没带,我自己会觉得不好意思,邀请者也会私下说我不懂人情。
杨: Then you just take.
那你就带吧。
李: Yes, I take and now I spend all my salary this month.
是的,我带了,然后花光了这个月所有的薪水。
杨: Oh, I must say it is quite common. Although some people are reluctant in their hearts, they will just obey. If you can’t change it, just accept it.
哦,我只能说这很普遍。虽然很多人内心排斥,但是他们只能遵从习俗。如果不能改变,就接受吧。
