情景对话
Billy: That's because you're too busy shopping.

Jennifer: You got me there. So let me see him...he looks like a little Eskimo.

Billy: Would an Eskimo wear a bright orange parka? I don't think so.

Jennifer: What's this on his back?

Billy: It's a cell phone holder. See, it's got a shoulder strap.

Jennifer: You can keep your cell phone warm! How sweet! But why are his eyes so big?

Billy: All the better to glare at you with!

参考译文
比 利︰那是因为你太忙着去购物啦!

珍妮花︰被你说中了。让我看一下……他看起来像个小爱斯基摩人。

比 利︰爱斯基摩人会穿鲜橘色的连帽大衣吗?我可不这么认为。

珍妮花︰他背上的是什么东西啊?

比 利︰那是手机袋。瞧,它还有条肩带呢。

珍妮花︰这样你就可以为手机保暖了!好贴心喔!但他的眼睛干嘛睁这么大?

比 利︰这样才好瞪着你啊!
