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.

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。
