Gunther: I think this party has run its course and I’m ready to call it a night. 
古瑟：我认为派对已经没什么意思了；今晚应该到此为止了。
Maria: But there are still a few stragglers who seem reluctant to leave. How do we politely tell them to go home? 
玛利亚：但是还有些掉队的人似乎不想要离开呢。我们怎么礼貌地劝说他们回家呢？
Gunther: I’ll just make an announcement. 
古瑟：我宣布一下派对结束。
Maria: Wait! That seems kind of rude. Let me try a few hints. I’ll tell them that we’re out of drinks. 
玛利亚：等等，这样似乎有点不太礼貌。我来试试一些暗示。告诉他们我们没有饮料、酒了。
Gunther: If you do that, one of those guys is liable to offer to make a beer run. That’s not going to do the trick. 
古瑟：如果你这么做的话，这些人中有可能会有人跑着去买啤酒。这样没办法达成目的。
Maria: What if I go over there, yawn, and comment on the lateness of the hour? That should be obvious enough without being too rude. 
玛利亚：那假如我走过去，打哈欠，说时间已经很晚了怎么样？那这样暗示就很明显，也不会显得粗鲁。
Gunther: Those people aren’t going to respond to subtlety. Let me handle this. 
古瑟：这样做太委婉了，他们注意不到这个暗示。让我来处理。
Maria: What are you going to do? 
玛利亚：你要怎么做？
Gunther: I’m going to do what bars do at closing time. I’m turning up the lights and turning off the music. 
古瑟：我要做酒吧在关门时做的事：打开灯，关掉音乐。
Maria: And if that doesn’t work? 
玛利亚：如果这样还不奏效呢？
Gunther: I’m going to yell “lights out, people!” and mean it! 
古瑟：那我就会喊“要熄灯了”我是说真的！
