Mitchell: Are you kidding me with this line? I'm gonna ask Santa for the last 45 minutes of my life back.
Cam: Oh, would you cheer up? We're in Santa's village with our daughter. Where were we a year ago?
Mitchell: Uh, we were at the beginning of this line.
Cam: Okay, you know what? Somebody needs to get in the holiday. Son of a bitch.
Mitchell: Maybe it's not them.
Cam: Oh, it's them. It's them. (Three years ago, I formed a caroling group. We were known as "The Greensleevers". We would perform at charity events, hospitals…
Mitchell: And they were very, very popular.
Cam: Uh, last year, one of my carolers…Andrew staged a little coup, and he, um…
Mitchell: They kicked Cameron out of the group.)
Andrew: Thank you. We're the new Greensleevers.
Cam: The new Greensleevers. Is there a slap mark on my face? I mean, why is Edna singing the low harmony? It's like people are applauding out of shock.
Mitchell: Let it go.
Elf: Okay, next.
Mitchell: Oh, finally. Um, I'm sorry. Can I…could …could you…What happened to the other Santa? Listen, we've been waiting in this line for a really long time, and we just want a Santa that actually looks like Santa.
Cam: Mitchell, it's okay.
Mitchell: No, no, no, Cam. It's not okay. This is Lily's first Christmas. I want to make sure everything is perfect. And we're gonna wait for the fat Santa, alright?
Elf: I knew this would happen. I-I don't even know why we hired this guy.
Mitchell: See? Even this elves agree with me. Thank you.
米切尔:这条队伍也太夸张了吧?我要跟圣诞老人要回我45分钟生命。
卡姆:哦,你能打起精神来吗?咱们是陪着女儿来到这圣诞村的喔。我们去年在哪儿?
米切尔:呃,去年我们排在队伍的最前边。
卡姆:好吧,你得知道,总得有人来过节。混蛋!
米切尔:也许不是他们。
卡姆:哦,肯定是他们,是他们。(3年前,我成立了一个颂歌班,名叫“绿袖人”,我们在慈善晚会和医院里表演……
米切尔:他们那时非常非常受欢迎。
卡姆:呃,去年,其中一个成员——安德鲁发动了一次小政变,他,呃……
米切尔:把卡梅伦踢出了班子。)
安德鲁:谢谢,我们是全新的“绿袖人”。
卡姆:新的“绿袖人”。看到我脸上的巴掌印了没?为什么让埃德娜唱低音部和声?观众像被震惊了才鼓掌的。
米切尔:算啦。
精灵:的,下一个。
米切尔:哦,终于到我们了。嗯,不好意思,我们……你们……另外一个圣诞老人去哪儿了?我们排队排了这么久,就是想要个比较像的圣诞老人啊。
卡姆:米切尔,没关系啦。
米切尔:不,不,不,卡姆,才有关系呢。这是莉莉过的第一个圣诞节,我要确保一切都尽善尽美才行。我们等胖圣诞老人来行吗?
精灵:我就知道会这样的,我都不知道为什么要请这个人。
米切尔:看见没?连精灵都同意我的话,谢谢你。

说到圣诞节,大家一定会联想到圣诞老人。据说平安夜的晚上,圣诞老人会驾着驯鹿雪橇满载着礼物送给小朋友。他会悄悄地从烟囱爬进屋内,把礼物塞到挂在床头的袜子里,所以孩子总会把一条条色彩缤纷的袜子挂在床头。正因为圣诞老人已经成为圣诞节最受喜爱的象征和传统,所以每当圣诞节来临之际,商场都会派人穿上圣诞老人的衣服站在门口,招揽顾客,推销他们的各种商品。而在美国家庭里,圣诞节那天,有时也会由一名家庭成员扮成圣诞老人,为大家分发礼物。
现学现用说说看
Let it go.
算了吧。
Let it go.直译是“放手,放下”,当劝解或安慰别人时,表示“别管了,就让它过去吧,随它吧”,如:
1.I know I am not her type, so just let it go.我知道我不是她喜欢的人,所以就算了吧。
2.Don't cover up your sadness. Let it go.别掩饰心里的难受了,就让它过去吧。
安慰别人时,我们还可以说:
1.Let bygones be bygones.过去的事就让它过去吧。
2.Just forget it.别多想了,忘了吧。
3.You've done your best. Just forget it.你已经尽力了,没事的,都过去了。
Even this elves agree with me.
就连这小精灵都同意我。
agree with是个再熟悉不过的短语了,通常表示“同意,与……一致”。如:
■ 表示“意见相同,持一致看法”,如:I agree with you.我同意你的看法。
■ 表示“与……相符或者一致”,如:You statement agrees with the facts.你的陈述与事实相符。
■ 表示“气候或事物等适合……”,如:The weather does not agree with me.这天气不适合我。
表示同意还可以说:I couldn't agree more.我非常同意。
表示不同意,则可以用下列句子:
1.I disagree.我不同意。
2.I don't agree with you.我不同意你的看法。
3.I don't think so.我不认为是这样。
4.I don't go along with it.我不赞同。
