Armond: I hope that this new year will bring me better luck.

Patricia: You can find that out easily enough. My astrologer says...
帕特丽夏:你很容易就会得到好运,我的星象家说的。
Armond: Hold on. You consult an astrologer? You really believe in that nonsense?
阿蒙德:等会儿,你咨询星象家啦?你真的相信他们胡乱说的话?
Patricia: It’s not nonsense and, yes, I believe in it. I like getting predictions about the future and knowing what is in the stars for me.
帕特丽夏:那不是胡编乱造,是,我相信他说的。我喜欢知道未来的一些事,想知道我的运势怎么样。
Armond: Astrologers are charlatans and what they tell their customers is phony. They make it all up and tell people what they want to hear.
阿蒙德:星相专家都是骗子,他们告诉顾客的都是虚假的信息。他们胡编乱造,然后告诉人们他们想听的信息。
Patricia: I don’t know how you can say that. The horoscope for my sign each day gives me warnings and helps me avoid mistakes. And when I have big decisions to make, I go for a reading. The guidance I get is invaluable.
帕特丽夏;不知道你为什么这样说。我的星座运势每天都会给我一些提醒,帮我避免一些错误。每当我需要做重大决定的时候,我都会看星座运势,我得到的指导都很宝贵。
Armond: You’re too smart to be taken in by con artists who style themselves as mystics. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
阿蒙德:你这么容易就上当啦,那些骗人的术士弄的很神秘。不过一切都是雾里看花,镜中月。
Patricia: You’re wrong. I’ll give you an example. My horoscope today said that an unpleasant person will try to shake my beliefs. It said I should just walk away.
帕特丽夏:你错了,给你举个例子。我的星座运势说今天会有一个令人讨厌的人试图动摇我的信念,建议我应该走开。
Armond: Hey, where are you going?
阿蒙德:嘿,你要去哪儿?
