TRISH: Well, I’m glad you’re finally back. I was wondering what happened.
SARAH: I feel kind of stupid.
TRISH: Why?
SARAH: We got lost coming back. I guess I don’t really know this town yet.
TRISH: You got lost. You’re kidding!
SARAH: No. We took a wrong turn somewhere.
And Joseph doesn’t know the town at all. So I started giving him directions.
But I didn’t really know where we were. So we got seriously lost.
TRISH: You could have called.
SARAH: I know I could have. But finally we asked someone where we were.
TRISH: You’ve been gone for two hours. How could you get lost for so long?
SARAH: Guess where we ended up.
TRISH: I don’t know. Where?
SARAH: When we finally decided to ask someone, they told us we were in Grangerfield.
TRISH: Grangerfield! You were in Grangerfield?
That’s a completely different town! How could you drive to a completely different town?
SARAH: I don’t know.
The person we asked had to give us directions to the highway to get back here.
TRISH: Grangerfield is like a dozen miles away from here.
SARAH: I know it is. I don’t know how it happened.
TRISH: Hmm, maybe I do.
SARAH: What?
TRISH: Maybe I have an idea how it happened.
SARAH: How?
TRISH: You were too busy looking at Joseph, and you weren’t paying attention to the road.
SARAH: Oh, that’s what you think, huh?
TRISH: Yes, that’s what I think.
Maybe the next time you go out with him to buy groceries, you’ll get lost for even longer.
Maybe six hours or so.
SARAH: You know what, Trish?
TRISH: What?
SARAH: I hope so. I really hope so.
TRISH: Hah, hah! See? I guessed right. You weren’t watching the road at all.
SARAH: No, I wasn’t. It’s kind of hard to watch the road when Joseph is behind the wheel.
崔喜：很高興你終于回來了。我還在想發生了什么事。
莎拉：我覺得我好笨。
崔喜：為什么?
莎拉：我們回來時迷路了，我對這個城鎮還不太熟悉。
崔喜：你迷路了，開玩笑吧!
莎拉：沒有。我們在某個地方轉錯方向。
約瑟夫對這個城鎮一點兒都不熟悉，所以我開始指路。
但是我實在不知道我們在哪兒，所以當真就迷路了。
崔喜：你可以打電話啊。
莎拉：我知道，但是最后我們終于問到人了。
崔喜：你們出去兩小時了，怎么會迷路這么久?
莎拉：你猜我們到哪里了。
崔喜：不知道，哪里?
莎拉：當我們終于決定問人時，他們說我們在農場村。
崔喜：農場村!你們到了農場村?
那是完全不同的城鎮!你們怎么會開到完全不同的城鎮?
莎拉：不知道。
我們問的那個人要我們走高速公路回到這里來。
崔喜：農場村離這里有十幾哩。
莎拉：我知道。我不曉得這是怎么發生的。
崔喜：也許我知道。
莎拉：什么?
崔喜：也許我知道這是怎么發生的。
莎拉：怎么發生的?
崔喜：你忙著看約瑟夫，你沒專心看路。
莎拉：你是那么想嗎?
崔喜：是的，我是那么想。
也許下次你和他去雜貨店買東西會迷路更久
也許要六個小時。
莎拉：你知道嗎，崔喜?
崔喜：什么?
莎拉：我希望如此，我真的希望如此。
崔喜：哈哈!看吧?我猜得沒錯，你根本沒看路。
莎拉：我沒看路。當約瑟夫開車時，真的很難去看路。
