林赛：我爸爸曾经是个非常棒的猎人ynt+lK@NVG]b07b]。他有一把很大的步枪，他每年会进行两次山鸡狩猎活动U,y.P6(8C25fL)%QsP]9。他每次都会带令人讨厌的山鸡回来，然后把它们放进冰箱里，不过我妈妈从来不知道要如何烹饪山鸡，所以那些山鸡就一直放在我们家的冰箱里~pbg|u[mq5o。
Jake: So you never ate the pheasant?
杰克：所以你从来没有吃过山鸡？

林赛：好，有人去打猎，捕猎到鹿后让你品尝的吗？
Jake: Yes.

杰克：我们吃的一些牛也可能是牛妈妈)m&Wrk3b|43r4。
Lindsay: You think so? I never really thought about that. I guess you're right, but something about the idea of going out and shooting a poor deer. It just reminds me of Bambi. It's so sad.
林赛：你是这么认为的吗？我从来没有想过这点M.,N.ZadQ~i。我想你是对的，不过去捕猎可怜的鹿总会让我想起小鹿斑比4M-O&PUJz(ue3。真的很可怜l.N1K)Le,7TR~。
