An Exclusive Guest List Entertainment
独特的嘉宾名单
Catherine: Do you have a draft of the guest list? We need to get the invitations out next week.
凯瑟琳：你有客人名单的草稿吗？我们需要下周把邀请函发出去。
Ralph: It’s not quite done yet. I keep going back and forth about a few people I’m not sure about, like Lacy Say.
拉尔夫：名单还未最终敲定。我一直对其中一些嘉宾犹豫不决，比如说莱西·塞伊。
Catherine: Lacy Say? She’s a has-been. She hasn’t been in a movie for years. We only want people on the A-list at this party.
凯瑟琳：莱西·塞伊？她是个不入流的人了。她已经很多年没拍电影了。在这次聚会上，我们只想邀请那些一流的明星。
Ralph: What about Jess McGillan? I’m on the fence about him.
拉尔夫：那杰斯·麦吉伦怎么样？我对他持观望态度。
Catherine: He’s definitely a D-lister. This party is very exclusive and we don’t want any D-listers rubbing elbows with VIPs.
凯瑟琳：他绝对是个D级人选。这个聚会是很独特的，我们不希望任何D级明星与贵宾们有什么交集。
Ralph: I understand that, but what if we don’t get enough A-listers to come?
拉尔夫：我理解，但是万一我们没有邀请到足够的一线明星呢？
Catherine: That will not happen. This party has to be a success!
凯瑟琳：这种情况不会发生的。这次聚会一定会成功!
Ralph: And if we don’t have enough guests because we’ve excluded so many D-list celebrities?
拉尔夫：如果我们没有足够的嘉宾怎么办，毕竟我们排除了这么多D级的明星?
Catherine: There will always be gatecrashers. We can let in a few to buff up the numbers, if push comes to shove.
凯瑟琳：总会出现“不速之客”的。如果迫不得已，我们可以让一些人入场，来补充人数。
Ralph: What happens to the exclusivity of the party if that happens?
拉尔夫：照你这么安排的话，那你把派对独特性置于何地呢？
Catherine: If that happens, this party has bombed and I don’t care if we even let in podcasters!
凯瑟琳：如果发生这种情况，这场聚会就完蛋了，我甚至还会考虑是否让播客们撑场!
