地道美语
A: Trina, will you marry me?

B: Yes! Yes! And yes! Jared ,of course I’ll marry you!

A: Oh， Babe, I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you! I can’t wait for all the adventures we’re going to have, for all the fights and the laughter. I can’t wait to grow old and wrinkly with you.

B: Oh, Jared! I can’t wait for our wedding! I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve already chosen a date! Six months from now in the summer! Melissa saw you buying the ring last month so I’ve had plenty of time to start planning!

A: She what?

B: Oh don’t worry, sweetie, I didn’t know when you were going to propose. It was still a nice surprise! As I was saying, I’ve got it all planned out. There’s almost nothing left to do! I wrote up our guest list and we will have roughly four hundred guests attending.

A: Four hundred?

B: No need to sweat it. My parents agreed to pay for most of the wedding, which is going to be low-budget anyway. So roughly four hundred people, which means that the hall at Northwood Heights will be our reception venue. I thought it would be nice if we had the wedding at your parents’ church and my uncle of course would be officiating. We’ll meet with him soon for some pre-wedding counseling. The music for the wedding ceremony was a no-brainer. My step-sister and her string quartet will take care of that. My cousin will be the official photographer. I thought it would also be nice if his daughter could sing a solo. Did you know that she’s going to be a professional opera singer?

A: Ah...

B: And then of course the ladies at the church would love to be our caterers for the banquet and we’ll get the Youth Group to serve us. I was thinking that your friend’s band could be our entertainment for the night. though they might have to tone it down a bit. Or we could hire a DJ. Your sister’s husband could get us a discount with that company that does the decor at weddings. what’s their name again? I was thinking that we could have an island paradise- themed wedding and our theme color would be a soothing blue like Aquamarine. And there will be a huge seashell on the wall behind the podium where we’ll make our toasts! What do you think of small packages of drink mixes for our wedding favors? Who else am I missing? Oh, your uncle could be our florist and his wife could make our wedding cake!

A: Wow.

B: See? It’s going to be wonderful! Oh this wedding is going to be everything I ever dreamed of.

A: If I survive the next six months.

参考译文
A: Trina,你愿意嫁给我吗？

B: 愿意，我愿意。Jared,我会嫁给你。

A: 亲爱的，我迫不及待想和你共度余生。我期待那些一起要经历的冒险，以及所有的飞行和笑声。我等不及想和你你一起变老。

B: Jared,我真想马上举行婚礼。我希望你不介意，我已经选了结婚的日子。距现在6个月的夏季，Melissa看见你上个月买了戒指，所以我有很多时间去计划婚礼。

A: 她怎么了？

B: 亲爱的，别担心，我不知道你什么时候会求婚。对我来说真是个惊喜。正像我所说的，我把一切都计划好了。几乎没有什么事要去做。我已经写了需要邀请客人的名单，大概有四百名客人要参加我们的婚礼。

A: 四百人？

B: 别紧张。我的父母同意支付婚礼的大部分花销，那样我们的花销就会低得多。大概会有四百人，那意味着所有Northwood 山庄的地方都会作宾客接待处。我想如果在你父母的那个教堂举行婚礼，我的叔父来主持婚礼，那会很好。我们要快点见他来请教些婚礼前的准备事宜。婚礼仪式的音乐无很简单。我的姐姐和她的乐团回来演奏。我的表弟会作正式的摄影师。如果他的女儿能来个独唱那就更好了。你知道吗她要成为专业的舞剧歌手？

A: 喔

B: 教堂的女士们会准备婚礼宴席，我们会请Youth Group来服务。我想你朋友的乐队在晚上能带来些乐子，虽然他们水平可能一般。或者我们雇DJ。在做婚礼装饰时，你妹妹的丈夫可以让那个公司给我们些折扣。他们叫什么名字？我正在想可以办一个欢乐岛主题饿婚礼，主题颜色可以像Aquamarine那样的平和的蓝色。在祝酒礼台后面的墙上挂一个巨大的海贝，你认为用小包装的混合饮料做小礼物如何？我有什么没提到吗？对了，你叔叔可以做花匠。他妻子能为我们做婚礼蛋糕。

A: 哇。

B: 明白了？婚礼会很棒，这个婚礼会有我梦想的一切。

A: 如果6个月后我还能活着的话。
