Valerie: What’s this? 
瓦莱丽：这是什么？
A.J.: It’s a note from Rachel’s school. It’s about the next fundraiser. 
A.J.:这是瑞秋学校的通知，关于下学期的募捐问题。
Valerie: Oh no, not another one. What is it this time – a raffle, car wash, or spaghetti dinner? 
瓦莱丽：哦，不，不是另一个吧。这次是什么——都买奖券，清洗汽车还是去吃意大利面？
A.J.: It’s none of those things. It’s a combination bake sale and craft sale. Parents are supposed to donate baked goods and handmade items. 
A.J.：不是这些。这是糕饼义卖和工艺品销售。家长需要捐献一些烘烤的糕点和手工艺品。
Valerie: This is crazy. Every month there’s something else. Last month, it was a candy sale. I had to hit up everybody at work, and that’s on the tail of raffle tickets the month before. It’s like this every year. 
瓦莱丽：这有点疯狂，每个月都有一些事要做。上上个月，购买彩票之后。紧接着上个月，是卖糖果，我求助工作的同事购买。每年都有类似的活动。
A.J.: I know, we already donated a lot of things to the rummage sale last semester and gift certificates for the silent auction two months ago. With two kids in two different schools, I feel like we never get abreather. 
A.J.：我知道，上一学期我们已经捐献了很多东西用来捐赠义卖，二个月前，无声拍卖上我们捐赠的礼品券。两个孩子在不同的学校，我感觉我们永远不会有休息的时候。
Valerie: I know and there’s more. Brian’s school is asking parents to buy a brick that will be part of a new school building and our names will be engraved on it. 
瓦莱丽：我知道这类活动有点多，布莱恩的学校要求家长买一块砖用来建设学校新的大楼，我们的名字会刻在上面。
A.J.: You’re kidding, right? One more fundraiser and my name will get engraved, all right – on my tombstone! 
A.J.：你在开玩笑，是吧？再有个募捐活动，我的名字就会刻在我的墓志铭上。
