Cousin: Your mother would never forgie me if I took a view.
表姐：如果我先住，你母亲会怪我的。
Lucy: She'd want you to have it.
露西：母亲会让你先住的！
Cousin: On no account. The view of the Arno is yours.
表姐：不，应该你住。
Lucy: I don't know why we're arguing, because we have no view.
露西：我们别争了，反正也没有这样的房间。
Father: I have a view. And so does George. My son George here. You can have our rooms. We'll have yours. We can change. Why shouldn't have them?
父亲：我和乔治的房间都可看到美景。他就是我的儿子，乔治。我们可以交换房间。为什么不呢？
Cousin: Thank you very much indeed. We could not impose on your kindness.
表姐：真的很感激。我们心领了。
Father: Why?
父亲：为什么？
Lucy: You see...
露西：因为……
Cousin: Hush, Lucy.
表姐：别说了，露西。
Father: Women like looking at a view. Men don't. George, persuade them.
父亲：女人喜欢欣赏景色，男人就不在意这些了。乔治，说服她们！
George: It's obvious they should have the rooms. I have nothing to say, Signora?
乔治：她们是该换房间的！还要吗，夫人？
Cousin: No, thank you.
表姐：不了。
George: Why shouldn't you change? We could clear out in half an hour or in fifteen minutes. These niceties go against common sense! Every kind of sense.
乔治：你为何不肯换？我们半个小时内就可以收拾好，十五分钟也可以。你们这样做很奇怪呀，不合常理。
