Ethan: Well, at least you're having an American experience. At the International House, sometimes I feel like I'm not in America at all.

Sean: How's that?

Ethan: Well, like, this afternoon the Brazilians are going to teach Rena and I how to dance the samba.

Sean: I'm so sorry. I know you'd rather shop for hot dogs and toilet paper.

Ethan: Another example is last night. Hideki was teaching my roommate Jaroslav to curse in Japanese.

参考译文

伊森:嗯,至少你有了美国经验。在国际学舍,有时我觉得自己根本不是在美国。

西恩:怎么说?

伊森:好比说,今天下午一群巴西人要教我跟蕾娜跳桑巴舞。

西恩:我很遗憾。我知道你更愿意去买热狗和卫生纸。

伊森:另外一个例子是昨晚。秀树在教我的室友亚拉斯夫怎么用日语骂人。
