Alana: I’m busking on Main Street.

Giancarlo: You mean you’re panhandling? That’s not working.
詹卡洛:你的意思是你在行乞?这不是工作啊
Alana: I’m not panhandling. I’m working for tips. I perform, try to draw a crowd, and then pass the hat.
阿兰娜:我没有在乞讨。我只是提点点子。我试着吸引一群人,然后募捐。
Giancarlo: Can you really make money that way?
詹卡洛:真的可以用那种方法挣钱吗?
Alana: You’d be surprised. I got the idea from Danielle and her friends. A group of them do street theater and comedy routines. A friend of theirs juggles and does acrobatics. Another guy does magic tricks.
阿兰娜:你别这么惊讶。我的灵感来自于丹尼尔和她的朋友。她的很多朋友在做街头喜剧和戏剧。其中一个朋友在玩戏法和杂技,另外一个在变魔术。

詹卡洛:他们就在街上做这些~难道不会被警察为难吗?
Alana: The cops occasionally tell them to move along or tell the crowd to disperse, but if they’re respectful and nobody complains, they get left alone. Hey wait, where are you going?
阿兰娜:警察们只是偶尔会告诉他们往前走,或者让人群散开,但是如果他们尊重,没有人抱怨,他们就不会管。等一下,你要去哪啊?
