JASON: It’s too hot. I’m not sure I can walk any more.
CHRIS: Oh, c’mon. You’re not so old.
I want to go to Monkey Island and look at the monkeys.
JASON: What? They have a monkey island here? Really?
CHRIS: Of course they do.
This is an excellent zoo. They have all kinds of monkeys here.
JASON: Great. Let’s go. I love monkeys. That’s why I started going out with you.
CHRIS: You’re very funny today.
As for me, I’ve always loved boars and rhinos.
I like their smell. Maybe that’s why I chose you.
JASON: I wish we could get some good iced coffee somewhere.
Wouldn’t it be great if zoos had Starbucks in them?
CHRIS: Yes.
Then I could buy you a few espressos and you’d climb over the fence into the lion cage.
I wouldn’t have to worry about you any more.
JASON: Hah, hah, hah. Hey, look at that polar bear.
CHRIS: Oh, terrible.
JASON: Yes, I can’t believe they have him out in the sun like this. Isn’t it too hot?
CHRIS: It’s sad. Sometimes I think zoos should treat animals better than they do.
Look at the space they have him in. It isn’t enough.
JASON: No. It isn’t. They should have him indoors in the air conditioning.
They should give him a nice tank to swim in, and fresh seal meat every day.
They should let him have an iced coffee every couple days.
CHRIS: You’re thinking about yourself again. Always so selfish.
JASON: I feel sorry for that bear. Just like him, I’m too hot.
Both he and I--we should be in a nice cold wilderness right now.
We’re both sick of southern California.
CHRIS: Do you really want to move away? To Alaska?
JASON: Yes, when I graduate. I will move away from California. That’s for sure.
And I will take the bear with me. We will open an iced coffee cafe in Alaska.
He will do tricks for the customers and I will make the coffee.
It will be a great success.
CHRIS: You are a clown, Jason. You are just a clown.
JASON: Thank you. I respect clowns. Thank you very much.
So where is that Monkey Island?
CHRIS: Over this way. Follow me.
杰森：真是太熱了，我不確定還能不能走。
克利絲：喔，拜托，你又沒(méi)多老。
我想去猴子島看猴子。
杰森：什么?這兒有猴子島?真的嗎?
克利絲：當(dāng)然有了。
這間是很棒的動(dòng)物園，他們有各種類的猴子。
杰森：太棒了，我們走吧。我最愛(ài)猴子了，這就是我開(kāi)始和你約會(huì)的原因。
克利絲：你今天很好笑耶。
至于我呢……我一直很愛(ài)野豬和犀牛。
我喜歡他們的味道，也許這就是我選你的原因。
杰森：我希望我們可以從哪弄些不錯(cuò)的冰咖啡。
如果動(dòng)物園有星巴克 咖啡店，不是很棒嗎?
克利絲：對(duì)啊，
然后我可以買給你一些濃縮咖啡，讓你爬過(guò)柵欄進(jìn)去獅子籠里，
我就不用再擔(dān)心你了。
杰森：哈，哈。嘿，看那只北極熊。
克利絲：喔，太過(guò)分了。
杰森：對(duì)啊，我真不敢相信他們讓它像這樣在太陽(yáng)底下，那不是太熱了嗎?
克利絲：真可悲，有時(shí)候我覺(jué)得應(yīng)該對(duì)動(dòng)物更好一點(diǎn)。
看看他們給它的空間，根本不夠。
杰森：不，不是。他們應(yīng)該讓它待在有空調(diào)的室內(nèi)，
給它一處水槽游泳并且每天提供新鮮的海豹肉。
他們應(yīng)該每隔幾天就給它喝杯冰咖啡。
克利絲：你又想到你自己了，總是這么自私。
杰森：我替那只熊感到難過(guò)，就像它一樣，我覺(jué)得太熱了。
他和我--我們現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該在一處寒冷的荒地，
我們都對(duì)南加州感到厭煩了。
克利絲：你真的想搬走嗎?搬到阿拉斯加嗎?
杰森：是的，當(dāng)我畢業(yè)時(shí)。我會(huì)搬離加州，這是肯定的。
而且我還會(huì)把熊一起帶去，我們會(huì)在阿拉斯加開(kāi)一間冰咖啡店。
它可以為客人表演把戲，而我來(lái)泡咖啡。
這一定會(huì)大受歡迎。
克利絲：杰森，你真是一個(gè)小丑。你只是一個(gè)小丑。
杰森：謝謝你。我尊敬小丑，非常謝謝你喔。
猴子島在哪?
克利絲：在這條路，跟我來(lái)吧。
