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：當然有了。
這間是很棒的動物園，他們有各種類的猴子。
杰森：太棒了，我們走吧。我最愛猴子了，這就是我開始和你約會的原因。
克利絲：你今天很好笑耶。
至于我呢……我一直很愛野豬和犀牛。
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的冰咖啡。
如果動物園有星巴克 咖啡店，不是很棒嗎?
克利絲：對啊，
然后我可以買給你一些濃縮咖啡，讓你爬過柵欄進去獅子籠里，
我就不用再擔心你了。
杰森：哈，哈。嘿，看那只北極熊。
克利絲：喔，太過分了。
杰森：對啊，我真不敢相信他們讓它像這樣在太陽底下，那不是太熱了嗎?
克利絲：真可悲，有時候我覺得應該對動物更好一點。
看看他們給它的空間，根本不夠。
杰森：不，不是。他們應該讓它待在有空調的室內，
給它一處水槽游泳并且每天提供新鮮的海豹肉。
他們應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，就像它一樣，我覺得太熱了。
他和我--我們現在應該在一處寒冷的荒地，
我們都對南加州感到厭煩了。
克利絲：你真的想搬走嗎?搬到阿拉斯加嗎?
杰森：是的，當我畢業時。我會搬離加州，這是肯定的。
而且我還會把熊一起帶去，我們會在阿拉斯加開一間冰咖啡店。
它可以為客人表演把戲，而我來泡咖啡。
這一定會大受歡迎。
克利絲：杰森，你真是一個小丑。你只是一個小丑。
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，跟我來吧。
