Julio: Mom, don’t you think it’s time to get rid of some of the stuff in this house? 
胡里奥：妈妈，你不认为是时候把一些东西从家里收拾出去了吗？
Mom: Why? This house is fine the way it is. 
妈妈：为什么？这房子的东西摆放都还可以。
Julio: There are parts of this house that are nearly inaccessible. There are stacks of magazines and bags and boxes everywhere. 
胡里奥：房子里有些地方没办法靠近了。房中到处堆放着杂志、包包还有盒子。
Mom: I need all that stuff. You know I’ve always been a pack rat. 
妈妈：我需要那些东西。你知道我总是什么东西都不舍得扔。
Julio: I know, but I think things are getting out of hand. You have stuff on every surface and you can’t find anything in here. 
胡里奥：我知道，但是我认为这样的情况很难控制。你把东西摆的到处都是，没办法找到。
Mom: You can’t find anything, but I can put my hands on anything I want at any time. I collect and keep useful things, unlike you young people these days who throw away perfectly good things just because you don’t need them this minute. 
妈妈：你找不到东西，但是我能找到任何我想要的东西。我收集、保存一些有用的东西。不像现在的年轻人把这会儿用不着的一些好东西乱扔。
Julio: I think your hoarding is becoming compulsive. 
胡里奥：我认为你贮藏东西已经难以自拔。
Mom: That’s nonsense. Just because you prefer living in a sterile environment doesn’t mean I have to. I don’t mind a little clutter. 
妈妈：你说的不对。因为你喜欢住在简洁的环境中，那并不意味着我必须住在那样的环境。我不介意生活环境有点杂乱。
Julio: A little clutter?! You have junk mail from 15 years ago! 
胡里奥：有点杂乱？你还保留着15年前的垃圾邮件！
Mom: You never know when something will come in handy. Now, don’t you have some room in your garage where I can store a few extra boxes? 
妈妈：你永远不会知道什么时候会需要这些。在车库里有没有空地方，我能存放些多余的盒子？
Julio: No, I don’t! 
胡里奥：没有！
