　　Professor: John got married to his wife Carmen a few months ago, and today he is meeting up with his friend Chuck to talk about his new married life.

　　John一定還沉浸在新婚的甜蜜中，肯定要向Chuck炫耀有老婆的幸福! 對(duì)吧，professor Bowman?

　　Professor: Uh ..... well, we will have to listen and find out.

　　Chuck: Man, John, I haven't seen you in forever! I can't even remember the last time we were able to get together.

　　John: Well, Chuck, you know I'm a married man now. Once you tie the knot, your weekends are spent doing housework and shopping for new kitchen appliances.

　　Chuck: That's why you've been too busy to hang out? Wow. Well you need to find some time, because the football playoffs are coming up and I want to watch it on your big TV!

　　John: (Sigh) Sunday is the day I have to go over to Carmen's parents' house to have dinner, so I don't think that's going to fly.

　　聽起來，John并沒有那么高興。他說，自從結(jié)婚之后，他的周末生活就只剩下做家務(wù)和買東西，都沒時(shí)間和朋友一起玩兒了。

　　Professor: That's right. I can tell you that once you tie the knot, your life is never the same.

　　是啊，一旦tie the knot - 結(jié)了婚， 人生就進(jìn)入新階段了嘛。對(duì)了，professor, Chuck想星期天去John家看橄欖球比賽，可John說，this isn't going to fly，這是什么意思呢？

　　Professor: If you say something isn't going to fly, that means it isn't going to work or be successful. For example, I was really hoping to travel to Europe this summer. But I don't have the money, so that plan isn't going to fly.

　　哦，就是行不通的意思。

　　Chuck: Well what else has been going on with you? Have you been following any of the same-sex marriage debate? I'm a big supporter.

　　John: Of course, I am too. I think every person should have the right to get married to whoever he loves, and then get nagged to death by that person for the rest of his life.

　　Chuck: Oh come on, John. It's a beautiful thing when two people love each other, and want to enjoy the rights of marriage together. All people should be equal, regardless of their sexual orientation.

　　John: I couldn't agree more! Gay men should have to endure married life just like the rest of us heterosexual men. It's unfair that they don't have to!

　　Chuck和John談到same-sex marriage - 同性婚姻，他們倆都支持同性戀有權(quán)結(jié)婚，可是，John的理由怎么聽著這么別扭!

　　Professor: Yes, I find it very interesting! Why do Chuck and John support gay marriage?

　　Chuck認(rèn)為人人平等，所以都應(yīng)該享有結(jié)婚的權(quán)利，不論他們的sexual orientation--性取向，是什么。

　　Professor: Exactly. But why does John support it?

　　John也說到了人人平等，可他的意思是， heterosexual men - 也就是像他這樣的異性戀男人，要忍受婚姻生活的無奈，天天被老婆煩，所以，同性戀的人也該受同樣的罪!

　　Professor: Right. What do you think about that, Winnie?

　　哎呀，不是所有男人都這么看待婚姻吧？

　　Professor: Of course not all men, Winnie. Just the married ones.

　　Chuck: Come on, John. I'm sure there are lots of great things about being married.

　　John: You're right, I'm exaggerating. Marriage is a very special bond, and it's really wonderful to have someone who I can always trust and rely on.

　　Chuck: Yeah, I guess you're right. Now if I can only find a woman who likes to watch football on Sundays, I think my life would be complete

　　John: I'll ask Carmen if she has any friends who are cheerleaders.[

　　你瞧，professor，男人并不是只會(huì)抱怨婚姻! John最后還是承認(rèn)，結(jié)了婚，他就有了一個(gè)可以永遠(yuǎn)信賴和依靠的伴侶。

　　Professor: That's exactly right. And what is Chuck's view of the perfect woman?

　　Chuck說，如果他能找到一個(gè)和自己一樣愛看橄欖球比賽的老婆，他的人生就美滿啦! Professor, 你說一個(gè)beautiful cheerleader - 啦啦隊(duì)美少女，能看上Chuck么？

　　Professor: Well, love works in mysterious ways!
